I Wasn't Built To Get Up Lyrics

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)
