| The milk on my cornflakes
|
| Is the same as any other day
|
| It’s just me that’s been dragged backwards through a hedge
|
| And the girl doing the weather
|
| Somehow keeps it all together
|
| But I feel like jumping off a window ledge
|
| I wasn’t built to get up at this time
|
| I wasn’t built to get up at this time
|
| I’m not the sort of guy that rises and shines
|
| I wasn’t built to get up
|
| Built to get up
|
| I’ve got backache, I’ve got neckache
|
| I’ve got toothache and I need a break
|
| But I’ve somehow got to get out of the door
|
| And the DJ on the station is just so damn irritating
|
| Put a tea cosy on my head, I can’t take anymore
|
| I wasn’t built to get up at this time
|
| I wasn’t built to get up at this time
|
| I’m not the sort of guy that rises and shines
|
| I wasn’t built to get up
|
| Built to get up
|
| I wish I could turn the clocks back
|
| And spend a couple more hours in the sack
|
| Anything at this time of day
|
| Is like climbing Everest the difficult way
|
| The milk on my cornflakes
|
| Is the same as any other day
|
| It’s just me that’s been dragged backwards through a hedge
|
| And the girl doing the weather
|
| Somehow keeps it all together
|
| But I feel like jumping off a window ledge
|
| I wasn’t built to get up at this time
|
| I wasn’t built to get up at this time
|
| I’m not the sort of guy that rises and shines
|
| I wasn’t built to get up
|
| Built to get up (repeat to fade) |
