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)
