Julian Cope
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Up every morning just to keep a job I have to work my way through the hustling mob Sounds of the city pounding in my brain While another day goes down the drain But when you try so hard just to be someone To be someone you want to be All my hang-ups, put-downs, count me out Give me something else to believe Yeah, yeah But it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows And I'm returning to you And it's a five o'clock shadow when the missile blows I thank God for you Working so hard for the pay I get Living on money that I ain't made yet Five cups of coffee just to be myself When I'd rather be somebody else Yeah, yeah But it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows And I'm returning to you And it's a five o'clock shadow when the missile blows I thank God for you I know a place Where we can hide from the human race outside The countdown's started and your bags are packed We leave this planet tonight, my dear, let's fly Yeah, yeah, yeah In the shelter of her arms everything's okay She smiles and the world goes whistlin' away She gives me reason to carry on When every other reason is gone Yeah, yeah But it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows And I'm returning to you And it's a mighty small planet when the missile blows I thank God for you It's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows And I'm returning to you And it's a mighty small planet when the missile blows I thank God for you, thank God for you
