[00:00:00] From Under The Covers (BBC Session - Lunchtime Show 9/12/94) - Beautiful South

[00:00:12] It's six a m and even Big Ben

[00:00:18] Is trying to get his head down for a kip

[00:00:24] But no sooner is it down and it's on with dressing gown

[00:00:29] While this city very rarely loses grip

[00:00:35] But I have a friend who's never up by ten

[00:00:41] He's fast asleep with mouth open wide

[00:00:47] He's lost a lot of jobs but he's won a lot of friends

[00:00:52] And he says to me he cannot tell the time

[00:01:09] It's seven a m and we're coughing up the phlegm

[00:01:15] Spitting out the taste of night before

[00:01:21] And we'll vomit and we'll choke just to climb their tatty rope

[00:01:26] Well this city has its charm and its claw

[00:01:32] And he'll blame his clock or he'll say he's lost his socks

[00:01:38] And they'll tell you that he's been bitten by a snake

[00:01:43] His excuses are an art from the bottom of his heart

[00:01:49] And he thinks of them whenever he awakes

[00:02:06] It's eight a m and we're on the road again

[00:02:12] Racing for a placing at the top

[00:02:17] And says green for go for the people in the know

[00:02:23] But for the others all it says is red for stop

[00:02:52] It's cold and it's damp and they've dug him a grave

[00:02:57] And the ten fifteen merchant's still in bed

[00:03:02] And scrawled upon the headboard for the whole wide world to see

[00:03:08] Is 'Died In The Arms Of Big Ted'
