Waking up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'd work very hard
But I'm lazy
I can't take the pressure and it's starting to show
In my heart
You know how it pains me
A life of leisure is no life you know
Waking up and getting up has never been easy
Oh I think you should know
Waking up and getting up has never been easy
Oh I think you should know
Oh I think you should go
Make a cup of tea
And put a record on
I'd work very hard
But I'm lazy
I've got a lot of songs but they're all in my head
I'll get a guitar
And a lover who pays me
If I can't be a star I won't get out of bed
Waking up and getting up has never been easy
Oh I think you should know
Waking up and getting up has never been easy
Oh I think you should know
Oh I think you should go
Make a cup of tea
And put a record on
