Lyrics Goodbye Little Alarm Clock

Well, Adam's favourite alarm clock chucked it in this morning. So, Tripod wrote an ode to it. Also palindromes - words you can say backwards, and they stay the same.

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 early-bird 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 not 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"

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

Goodbye, alarm clock, goodbye
