Tripod - Goodbye Little Alarm Clock

Goodbye little alarm clock,
You've given me great times.
But lately time's been slipping away from you.
Why you've given up on me,
I don't know.
Alarm clock don't be sour,
You're losing all your power,
It's your eleventh hour.
Time to go.

I got you when I was ten,
Things were simpler then,
You woke me up in time for the Earlybird Show.
And later on that day,
you woke me up okay,
In time for Simon Townsend's Wonderworld.

I slept a lot as a kid,
Oh alarm clock all the things we did,
Yeah yeah,
Well you didn't do much,
You just sat there making noise,
And now that's what I do for a living.

Goodbye little alarm clock,
You've given me great times.
But lately time's been slipping away from you.
Why you've given up on me,
I don't know.
Alarm clock don't be sour,
You're losing all your power,
It's your eleventh hour.
Time to go.

And when my teenage years unfurled,
When I brought home a girl,
You sat and watched and never judged me once.
But no matter who it was,
They came second because,
Alarm clock it's always your face,
That I saw.

I was a pretty weird kid,
They said I loved you,
And I did.
Yeah yeah.
But they can keep their skateboards,
'Cause you go backwards and forwards,
Not unlike words like Glenelg or boob.

[Spoken]
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.

Why you've given up on me,
I don't know.
Alarm clock don't be sour,
You're losing all your power,
It's your eleventh hour.
Time to go.

[Quietly spoken]
Goodbye alarm clock, goodbye.
