From Under The Covers (BBC Session - Lunchtime Show 9/12/94) - Beautiful South[00:00:00]
It's six a m and even Big Ben[00:00:12]
Is trying to get his head down for a kip[00:00:18]
But no sooner is it down and it's on with dressing gown[00:00:24]
While this city very rarely loses grip[00:00:29]
But I have a friend who's never up by ten[00:00:35]
He's fast asleep with mouth open wide[00:00:41]
He's lost a lot of jobs but he's won a lot of friends[00:00:47]
And he says to me he cannot tell the time[00:00:52]
It's seven a m and we're coughing up the phlegm[00:01:09]
Spitting out the taste of night before[00:01:15]
And we'll vomit and we'll choke just to climb their tatty rope[00:01:21]
Well this city has its charm and its claw[00:01:26]
And he'll blame his clock or he'll say he's lost his socks[00:01:32]
And they'll tell you that he's been bitten by a snake[00:01:38]
His excuses are an art from the bottom of his heart[00:01:43]
And he thinks of them whenever he awakes[00:01:49]
It's eight a m and we're on the road again[00:02:06]
Racing for a placing at the top[00:02:12]
And says green for go for the people in the know[00:02:17]
But for the others all it says is red for stop[00:02:23]
It's cold and it's damp and they've dug him a grave[00:02:52]
And the ten fifteen merchant's still in bed[00:02:57]
And scrawled upon the headboard for the whole wide world to see[00:03:02]
Is 'Died In The Arms Of Big Ted'[00:03:08]
