Letra Real late starter Nerina Pallot

Real late starter

I woke up late today
Actually I do that everyday
Got no place to be seen
Im not part of a scene
Im a genius loser
Keeping counsel with my own opinion
President of the state that Im 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 dont want to do what I dont want to do
Im the queen refusenik

[CHORUS]
But - oh my God if I was somebody Id be doing it all just fine
But Im a real late starter
So Im making up for lost time
Oh my God if I was somebody youd be kissing my arse right now
But Im 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 its 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

[CHORUS]
But - oh my God if I was somebody Id be doing it all just fine
But Im a real late starter
So Im making up for lost time
Oh my God if I was somebody youd be kissing my arse right now
But Im so polite I do this all of the time
I missed my calling in life

And you, must be having a laugh
Oh God youre having a laugh
No point in worrying if my day's a disaster
Inside my little head Im happy ever after
Yes I am

[CHORUS]
Oh my God if I was somebody Id be doing it all just fine
But Im a real late starter
So Im making up for lost time
Oh my God if I was somebody youd be kissing my arse right now
But Im so polite
I missed my calling in life

[CHORUS]
Oh my God if I was somebody Id be doing it all just fine
But Im a real late starter
So Im making up for lost time
Oh my God if I was somebody youd be kissing my arse right now
But Im so polite I do this all of the time
I missed my calling in life
Oooh what of my life?
Yeah well.
