A spider drowns in the damp on my wall There's a pile of bills over ten feet tall What's that? rain upon my head There's a hole in the roof right above my bed Well shall I go drinking it might stop me thinking Take the pain away But if I go drinking I know what you'll be thinking But you're not the one awake At 4 a.m. At 4 a.m. I think I'll watch some T.V The licence people won't be up to catch me I'll settle for a cuppa tea And a little something to make me feel ire Well I could go drinking it would stop me thinking Take the pain away But if I go drinking I know what you'll be thinking But you're not the one awake At 4 a.m. At 4 a.m. Well my emotions run high I can see the blood in my eyes I don't care much for my health Coz I ain't got no wealth and my only escape Is when I get to sleep And now the world is awake I finally fall asleep Dreaming I am awake And the clock on the wall hasn't yet reached eight Well I'm going drinking it keeps me from thinking Takes the pain away And I don't care much for what you're all thinking Coz you haven't been awake Since 4 a.m. 4 a.m. You're not the one awake You're not the one awake You're not the one awake At 4 a.m. You're not the one awake No you're not the one awake No you're not the one awake At 4 a.m.
