Name: Lazy I
Duration: P00H03M32S
Description: Lazy I is a song about chilling out and doing nothing. And doing it with enthusiasm and diligence. Shifts could be so mentally and physically draining at times, that switching off was a priority. Making time was no problem ‘cause let’s face it, there wasn’t much else we could do, despite the glorious early spring.

lyrics

Stop the world from spinning

If only for a day

Reposing and reclining

Is where I'm at today

Slipping under laundered sheets

As time scuttles by

 

I'm idling my time away

Lazy Me, Lazy I

 

The sun has got his hat on but

My arse is staying put

I've cancelled all today's events

All my doors are shut

I'm putting off today what I will

Not do for a while

 

I'm idling my time away

Lazy Me, Lazy I

 

I'll leave the dust to settle

The grass can grow outside

I'll move from chair to sofa

My daily exercise

I'll build a boat from daydreams

And sail the oceans wide

 

I'm idling my time away

Lazy Me, Lazy I

 

Days like this don't come too often

Chances are few

Fate just gave me a nod and a wink

I know what I'm going to do...

 

I'll leave my phone on silent

I'll switch off all my screens

I'll lay in carefree splendour

With my memories and dreams

Bollocks to my list of jobs

My tap is running dry

 

I'm idling my time away

Lazy Me, Lazy I
