Nerina Pallot - Real Late Starter Lyrics

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 gen-ious loser.

Keeping council 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.
'Couse I don't wanna do what I don't wanna do,
I'm a queen refusnik.

[Chorus]
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 ass 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 would be torn assunder
by these things that I know, that nobody else knows,
or maybe it's the drinking?

Kids, we should console the Bible,
everybody needs a sign, oh.
Bless the birds, and the bees, the flowers and trees,
and blessed be the slacker.

[Chorus]
And 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 ass right now,
but I'm so polite, I do that all of the time, I missed my calling in life.

You must be having a laugh.
Oh god, you're having a laugh.

No point of worrying
if my day's a disaster.
Inside my little head
I'm happy ever after, yes I am.

[Chorus]
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 ass right now,
but I'm so polite, I missed my calling in life.

[Chorus]
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 ass right now,
but I'm so polite, I do this all of the time,
I missed my calling in life, oh, what am I like?

Yeah, well.
