Oh 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 a backache
I've got a neckache
I've got a toothache
and I need a break
But I've somehow
got to get out
of the door
And the DJ on the station
he is so damn irritating
put the tea cosy
over 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
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
Difficult way
Difficult way
Oh 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
Built to get up
Built to get up
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
