Beautiful South - From Under The Covers Lyrics

  • (heaton/rotheray)
  • Its 6.00am and even big ben
  • Is trying to get his head down for a kip
  • But no sooner is it down
  • And then its on with dressing gown
  • For this city very rarely loses grip
  • But I have a friend whos never up by 10.00
  • Hes fast asleep with mouth open wide
  • Hes lost a lot of jobs, but hes won a lot of friends
  • And he says to me, he cannot tell the time
  • Its 7.00am and were coughing up the phlegm
  • Spitting out the taste of night before
  • And well vomit and well choke
  • Just to climb their tatty rope
  • Well this city has its charm, and its claw
  • And hell blame his clock
  • Or hell say hes lost his socks
  • And theyll tell you that hes been bitten by a snake
  • His excuses are an art
  • From the bottom of his heart
  • And he thinks of them whenever he awakes
  • Its 8.00am were on the road again
  • Racing for a placing at the top
  • And it says green for go
  • For the people in the know
  • But for the others all it says is red for stop
  • Its cold and its damp
  • And theyve dug him a grave
  • And the 10.15 merchants still in bed
  • And scrawled upon the headboard
  • For the whole wide world to see
  • Died in the arms of big ted
