Real Late Starter Lyrics - Nerina Pallot

I woke up late today, 

actually I do that everyday. 

Got no place to be seen, I'm not part of a scene, 

I'm a gen-ious loser. 

Keeping council with my own opinion, 

president of the state that I'm in. 

Should I just stay in bed? Should I live in my head? 

Oh god, so many questions to ask. 

Oh, you could call me lazy, 

I think of it as taking my time. 

'Couse I don't wanna do what I don't wanna do, 

I'm a queen refusnik. 

[Chorus] 

But oh my god, if I was somebody, I'd be doing it all just fine, 

but I'm a real late starter, so I'm making up for lost time. 

Oh my god, if I was somebody, you'd be kissing my ass right now, 

but I'm so polite, I do it all of the time, I missed my calling in life - oh well. 

Day by day I wonder, 

if I would be torn assunder 

by these things that I know, that nobody else knows, 

or maybe it's the drinking? 

Kids, we should console the Bible, 

everybody needs a sign, oh. 

Bless the birds, and the bees, the flowers and trees, 

and blessed be the slacker. 

[Chorus] 

And oh my god, if I was somebody, I'd be doing it all just fine, 

but I'm a real late starter, so I'm making up for lost time. 

Oh my god, if I was somebody, you'd be kissing my ass right now, 

but I'm so polite, I do that all of the time, I missed my calling in life. 

You must be having a laugh. 

Oh god, you're having a laugh. 

No point of worrying 

if my day's a disaster. 

Inside my little head 

I'm happy ever after, yes I am. 

[Chorus] 

Oh my god, if I was somebody, I'd be doing it all just fine, 

but I'm a real late starter, so I'm making up for lost time. 

Oh my god, if I was somebody, you'd be kissing my ass right now, 

but I'm so polite, I missed my calling in life. 

[Chorus] 

Oh my god, if I was somebody, I'd be doing it all just fine, 

but I'm a real late starter, so I'm making up for lost time. 

Oh my god, if I was somebody, you'd be kissing my ass right now, 

but I'm so polite, I do this all of the time, I missed my calling in life, oh, what am I like? 

Yeah, well.
