Nerina Pallot

Real Late Starter

I woke up late today

Actually I do that everyday

Got no place to be seen

I’m not part of a scene

I’m a genius loser

Keeping counsel with my own opinion

President of the state that I’m in

Should I just stay in bed?

Should I live in my head?

Oh God, so many questions to ask

Oh, you could call me lazy

I think of it as taking my time

‘Cos I don’t want to do what I don’t want to do

I’m the queen refusenik

But - oh my God – if I was somebody I’d be doing it all just fine

But I’m a real late starter

So I’m making up for lost time

Oh my God – if I was somebody you’d be kissing my arse right now

But I’m so polite – I do it all of the time

I missed my calling in life

Oh well.

Day by day I wonder

If I will be torn asunder

By these things that I know that nobody else knows

Or maybe it’s the drinking

I guess we should consult a Bible

Everybody needs a sign - or

Bless the birds and the bees

The flowers and trees

And blessed be the slacker

But - oh my God – if I was somebody I’d be doing it all just fine

But I’m a real late starter

So I’m making up for lost time

Oh my God – if I was somebody you’d be kissing my arse right now

But I’m so polite – I do this all of the time

I missed my calling in life

And you, must be having a laugh

Oh God – you’re having a laugh

No point in worrying if my day's a disaster

Inside my little head I’m happy ever after

Yes I am

Oh my God – if I was somebody I’d be doing it all just fine

But I’m a real late starter

So I’m making up for lost time

Oh my God – if I was somebody you’d be kissing my arse right now

But I’m so polite

I missed my calling in life

Oh my God – if I was somebody I’d be doing it all just fine

But I’m a real late starter

So I’m making up for lost time

Oh my God – if I was somebody you’d be kissing my arse right now

But I’m so polite – I do this all of the time

I missed my calling in life

Oooh – what of my life?

Yeah well.
