Beautiful South - From Under The Covers

Beautiful South

From Under The Covers

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 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 never choke
Just to climb their tatty rope
Well, this city has it's charm, and it's 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 whenever 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 others all it says is red for stop

It's cold and it's 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 is
"Died In The Arms Of Big Ted"

Mirror lyrics:

"Died In The Arms Of Big Ted"
For the whole wide world to see is
And scrawled upon the headboard
And the 10.15 merchants still in bed
And they've dug him a grave
It's cold and it's damp

But for others all it says is red for stop
For the people in the know
And it says green for go
Racing for a placing at the top
It's 8.00am we're on the road again

And he thinks of them whenever he awakes
From the bottom of his heart
His excuses are an art
And they'll tell you that he's been bitten by a snake
Or he'll say he's lost his socks
And he'll blame his clock

Well, this city has it's charm, and it's claw
Just to climb their tatty rope
And we'll vomit and we'll never choke
Spitting out the taste of night before
It's 7.00am and we're coughing up the phlegm

And he says to me, he cannot tell the time
He's lost a lot of jobs, but he's won a lot of friends
He's fast asleep with mouth open wide
But I have a friend who's never up by 10.00

For this city rarely loses grip
And then it's on with dressing gown
But no sooner is it down
Is trying to get his head down for a kip
It's 6.00am and even Big Ben
