Six O'Clock
Lovely Rita Lyrics

Six o'clock in the morning and the buzzer goes off
My alarm clock wakes me up at six in the morning

I hear the sound of a voice
I hear a voice in my head urging me to wake up and start my day

Now's the time to collect my thoughts and make up my mind
I need to gather my thoughts and decide if I want to get up on time

If I wanna get up on time
I need to decide if I want to get up at the time my alarm clock goes off

And I don′t know what to do, and I don't know what to say
I am unsure of how to proceed

Should I stay in my love nest, take a nap, read a book
I am contemplating staying in bed, napping, or reading

So I'd forget ′bout the rest
I would like to ignore my responsibilities

I got this chapter to finish, will he kill that big whale
I have a chapter to read and am uncertain if the main character will kill the whale

Is she going to make him a man?
I am unsure if the female character in the book will help the male character mature

Well it takes pluck to seize the day
It takes courage to start the day with enthusiasm

To rise and greet a brand new day
To wake up and start a new day

The warmth of pillows on my heart
The comfort of the pillows warms my heart

It's six o'clock
It is currently six in the morning

I lie awake and hug my bolster
I am awake in bed and holding my pillow

Fluffy feathers flying low
Feathers from my pillow are floating around me

A blindfold on me eyes, oh boy
I have a sleep mask over my eyes

Can't they give me a break, I smoke my first cigarette
I am frustrated and need a moment to smoke a cigarette

I need a minute or two
I need a brief break

With all the sleep that I get and this pain in my neck
Despite getting enough sleep, I am experiencing neck pain

I'd rather turn in and snooze
I would prefer to go back to sleep

The world can go round without me
The world can function without my participation

I got enough on my plate as it is
I am already dealing with enough

Oulala I can′t believe it's six o′clock
I am surprised and unhappy that it is already six in the morning

A clock is ticking in my brain
I feel pressure to start my day due to the passage of time

To me those working days all look the same
I feel that all of my workdays are similar

Ten o'clock in the morning, got me breakfast in bed
I have stayed in bed until ten in the morning and have been served breakfast

Well yes I did it again
I have once again decided to stay in bed late

There is no way I'm going to let them do what they said
I am determined to avoid doing what others have told me to do

And crush the dreams in my head
I fear that following others' directions will destroy my own dreams

Well that's when my phone rings, I pull the plug out
As soon as my phone rings, I unplug it

And yell "Don't wanna join in the game"
I refuse to participate in others' plans

Yes I hear the bells chime, but believe me that instead
I hear the time passing, but would prefer to stay in bed

I′d rather snuggle in bed
I prefer to stay in bed and be comfortable

Now I do know what to do, and I do know what to say
I have decided to stay in bed and not participate in others' plans
