BORN TO REST

I have to stop for a lay-down
While taking forty winks.
Jimmy-jams are my uniform
My eyelids are on the blink.
Not a bead of sweat on my forehead
Never a sinew flexed.
General Strike, I salute you
Major Breakdown, you’re next.

University of Loaf? I never took the test
No winning tape touched my breast
I’m too beat to beat my chest
Baby, I was born to rest.

I could’ve been a long distance runner
But I’m always short of breath
I could have been a gung-ho soldier
But I’m allergic to death.
I’d give a sloth a walk for his money
I’ve got slo-mo beat
Instant coma’s gonna get me
I need speed to sleep.

University of Loaf? I never took the test
No winning tape touched my breast
I’m too beat to beat my chest
Baby, I was born to rest.

Swimming across the channel
Is an ambition successfully ducked.
I could have been a high-class gigolo
But I couldn’t be fucked.

Tune out, drop off, be someone else’s guest
Beware the Jabberwock, Sudoko and incest
Three zeds are my family crest
Baby, I was born to rest.
