Hmm
Kids to school, waking up at six
Half asleep and making baby bowls of Weetabix
Now the dogs keep barking and the neighbours start shouting
And next thing I know my eyes closed
It's despairing but I can't stop caring
See there's scrubs to feed and material needs
Keep me on the narrow and straight
Away, news through the letterbox
Of long lost friends or an auntie with a lot of dosh
Bless my cotton socks, bought from Primani
With a child that buys a lot, amazing how it stretches out
A bit like chewing gum, raised well but acting like a plum
Got some A-Levels, ain't dumb
Life goes on (on, on, on, on)
Rolling like a penny through the day
And I can't stop so I'm okay, 'kay
Sweating out the worries in my way
It's best to say
I'm just longing for the night (night, night)
I'm just longing for the night time
I'm just longing for the night (night, night)
I'm just longing for the night time
Kids late, I blame the bus driver
Doing twenty mph and he wouldn't drive faster
I was steaming, I was seething, man I could have had a fight
But my doctor told me stress you know it just, just isn't right
So I heed him, stay calm and took the kids away to school
See the faces of the teachers thinking he's a bloody fool
Give them evils like Knievel and just jump right out
Then I skip, hot runned around the way
Roundabout like a ghost through town
Bare stares out loud, just a lone type figure
Just an insect in the crowd, watching strangers dragging feet
Have a ciggie for a treat, then it's right back home
Masterchef on the telly, telly, telly
Life goes on (on, on, on, on)
Rolling like a penny through the day
And I can't stop so I'm okay, 'kay
Sweating out the worries in my way
It's best to say
I'm just longing for the night (night, night)
I'm just longing for the night time
I'm just longing for the night (night, night)
I'm just longing for the night time
