Should've Stayed in Bed

I can't listen to the radio at night
I can't stop analysing lyrics even though I try
And mainstream pop is just so crap
When did the public's music taste get so bad
I knew I had to get up at six A.M
And I shoulda gone to bed at quarter to ten
But watching some fat fucking frog narrated by Attenborough
Tells sleep to piss off so I don't have to follow her

And I drank a little too much coffee to be able to sleep
Instead just lying in bed in my own depressing heap
I'll seize the day tomorrow, well, depending on the weather
If tomorrow ever comes; getting to sleep seems to take forever

Fuck the alarm
I should've stayed in bed
It's meetings cancelled
And plans abandoned
And pointless dialogue
And countless sigh-a-lots
I wouldn't have missed much, missed much at all
If I'd have just stayed in bed

I've never heard so much bullshit in the phrase
"You never know what will happen, seize the day"
Clearly you've never never been to high school
Constantly wasting time away like a fool
I knew I'd finally be home at 5 P.M
And to conserve energy, dinner at 7 and 9 I'm in bed
But there's a new film out on Netflix
How long before I pass out? Well, let's test it

Coz nothing good ever came of today
Just watching my life fucking waste away
As missed rest and moments flash before me
And visions of alternate timelines come to taunt me

Fuck the alarm
I should've stayed in bed
It's meetings cancelled
And plans abandoned
And pointless dialogue
And countless sigh-a-lots
I wouldn't have missed much, missed much at all
If I'd have just stayed in bed

And I can't listen to the radio at night
I can't stop analysing lyrics even though I try
And is there any point in trying anyway
I'll have to come back eventually so I reckon I'll just stay
I knew I had to get up at six A.M
And I shoulda gone to bed at quarter to ten
But maybe just five more minutes would suffice
I'll stay here forever, that'd be nice

So fuck the alarm
Baby, I should've stayed in bed
It's meetings cancelled
And plans abandoned
And pointless dialogue
And countless sigh-a-lots
I wouldn't have missed much, missed much at all
If I'd have just stayed in bed, if I'd have just stayed in bed
If I'd have just stayed in bed
