If any of you have access to the Disney+ streaming service, can I recommend the Australian TV show Mr. Inbetween? It's got nothing to do with this song, but it is very worth watching. Only 25 minute episodes too, so they're easy to get through before you fall asleep at the end of the day.
Listen, George has been stood outside your house since 5 a.m. and by the time 6 rolls around, he's royally pissed off that you're still not home. Great stalker anthem.
I remember the radio station I worked at (along with many others) insisted on playing the dancey remix of this when it was out. The slow, sultry original is far superior.
6.30 is just way too early To get up this cold December morning Though as long as she insists on being the theme to my every single dream That coffee it is a calling
That's a pretty great opening verse, and this song only gets better...
In which Stuart Murdoch gets woken up at 6 by roadworks outside his window. Oh well, he's up now, might as well start mooning over an old girlfriend...
See also Olympic Village, 6am, an instrumental B&S recorded to accompany the Rio games. Not entirely sure why.
Six a.m. you left me for the last time On my doorstep blinking in the sunshine Blamed and framed I'm frozen in the picture Hanging in the space you left inside me Climbed upstairs into the final scene
Waiting for the credits to appear For all the years that I've been starring Starring in a film with you and leading Leading with a star I knew but I'm waking up In a lone beam of light where the dust is dancing As the music fades
Tom Waits for no man, not even at 6 a.m. (No, I will never grow tired of that pun.)
And it's six in the morning, gave me no warning; I had to be on my way.
Well there's trucks all a-passing me, and the lights are all flashing,
I'm on my way home from your place.
I know I won't make many friends by saying this, but I love the Eagles version almost as much as I do Tom's.
Prince. Susannah Hoffs. If you don't love this, check your pulse.
Six o'clock already I was just in the middle of a dream I was kissin' Valentino By a crystal blue Italian stream But I can't be late 'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid These are the days When you wish your bed was already made
Waking up at six a.m. on a cool warm morning Opening the windows and breathing in petrol An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard Watching the telly and thinking about your holidays
The Jam were really rather good, weren't they?
1. The Monkees - Daydream Believer
"7A" "What number is this, Chip?" "7-A!!!" "OK!, know what I mean, like, don’t get excited man. It’s cause I’m short, I know."
Davy Jones dreams of the 6 o'clock alarm never ringing... but it does, and when he finally rises, his shaving razor's cold... and it stings.
