Goodbye Little Alarm Clock
|

|
Robbie:
|
Well, Adam's favourite alarm clock chucked it in this morning. So, Tripod wrote an ode to it. Also palindromes - words you can say backwards, and they stay the same.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Goodbye, little alarm clock,
|
|
|
You've given me great times.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
But lately, time's been slipping away from you.
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Why you've given up on me, I don't know.
|
|
Tripod:
|
Alarm clock, don't be sour,
|
|
|
You're losing all your power,
|
|
|
It's your eleventh hour,
|
|
|
Time to go.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
I got you when I was ten,
|
|
|
Things were simpler then.
|
|
|
You woke me up in time for the early-bird show.
|
|
|
And later on that day,
|
|
|
You woke me up okay,
|
|
|
In time for Simon Townsend's Wonderworld.
|
|
|
|
|
Scod:
|
I slept a lot as a kid,
|
|
|
Oh, alarm clock, all the things we did.
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Yeah, yeah.
|
|
Scod:
|
Well, you didn't do much,
|
|
|
You just sat there making noise,
|
|
|
And now that's what I do for a living.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Goodbye, little alarm clock,
|
|
|
You've given me great times.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
But lately, time's been slipping away from you.
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Why you've given up on me, I don't know.
|
|
Tripod:
|
Alarm clock, don't be sour,
|
|
|
You're losing all your power,
|
|
|
It's your eleventh hour,
|
|
|
Time to go.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
And when my teenage years unfurled,
|
|
|
When I brought home a girl,
|
|
|
You sat and watched and never judged me once.
|
|
|
But not matter who it was,
|
|
|
They came second because,
|
|
|
Alarm clock, it's always your face that I saw.
|
|
|
|
|
Scod:
|
I was a pretty weird kid,
|
|
|
They said I loved you, and I did.
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Yeah, yeah.
|
|
Scod:
|
But they can keep their skateboards,
|
|
|
'Cause you go backwards and forwards,
|
|
|
Not unlike words like "glenelg" or "boob".
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Goodbye, little alarm clock, goodbye.
|
|
|
How could I ever replace you?
|
|
|
Maybe I should get one of those atomic clocks,
|
|
|
That would suit me just well.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Why you've given up on me, I don't know.
|
|
Tripod:
|
Alarm clock, don't be sour,
|
|
|
You're losing all your power,
|
|
|
It's your eleventh hour,
|
|
|
Time to go.
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Goodbye, alarm clock, goodbye...
