Beautiful South From Under The Covers Lyrics

From Under The Covers Lyrics

It's 6.00am and even Big Ben
Is trying to get his head down for a kip
But
no sooner is it down
And then it's on with dressing gown
For this city
very rarely loses grip
But I have a friend who's never up by 10.00
He's
fast asleep with mouth open wide
He's lost a lot of jobs, but he's won a lot
of friends
And he says to me, he cannot tell the time
It's 7.00am and
we're coughing up the phlegm
Spitting out the taste of night before
And
we'll vomit and we'll choke
Just to climb their tatty rope
Well this city
has its charm, and its claw
And he'll blame his clock
Or he'll say he's
lost his socks
And they'll tell you that he's been bitten by a snake
His
excuses are an art
>From the bottom of his heart
And he thinks of them
whenenver he awakes
It's 8.00am we're 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
It's cold and its
damp
And they've dug him a grave
And the 10.15 merchants still in
bed
And scrawled upon the headboard
For the whole wide world to
see
