lyrics

'Long Lie'

Won't you wake up and have breakfast with me
I've bought what I think is a pomelo and we could try some
And now you like rye bread and watery tea
I think you might just be perfect for me
Come on, come out, come through, get out of bed

Won't you wake up and talk to me
I need some morning conversation
And if you could only try to see
I think you might just be perfect for me
Come on, come out, come through, get out of bed

Sleeping in, having a long lie
Sleeping in, sleeping in
Sleeping in, having a long lie
You've been working all night and I know you need a long lie

Won't you be quiet and not talk to me
I need to find some concentration
And if you could only let me be
I think you might just be perfect for me
Come on, come out, come through, get out of bed

CHORUS

Do you see me when I'm sleeping or are you always sleeping too?
Did you hear me quietly weeping from the dream that I'd been through?
Do you see me, do you hear me, even when I don't see you?

Won't you wake up and have breakfast with me
I need some morning conversation
And now you can see the fool in me
I think you might just be perfect for me
Come on, come out, come through, get out of bed

CHORUS

You've been working all night and I know you need a long lie...in
