Verse 1<\/p>\n
Let me tell you all about a problem of mine
\nAnd how hard I find arriving at places on time
\nCoz no matter when I leave to reach my destination
\nThe journey always exceeds my estimation
\nI don\u2019t ever mean to be tardy on purpose
\nI just get distracted by things that seem urgent
\nMy wife could be in labour screaming \u201cWhat you waiting for?\u201d
\nWhile I\u2019m seeing if I\u2019d be in Gryffindor or Ravenclaw\u2026 (Oli! Right right right\u2026)
\n(Gryffindor obv) it got so bad that I arranged a visit to the doc\u2019s
\nTo see if there\u2019s a cure for my life-long affliction
\nI made an appointment, but sadly I missed it
\nIf you don\u2019t believe me you check with my friends
\nThey\u2019ve started to lie about when to get to events
\nThey\u2019ll tell me that it\u2019s 6 when it\u2019s 7pm
\nBut the joke\u2019s on them coz I\u2019ll still turn up at 10<\/p>\n
I\u2019m late (oh!) I\u2019m late (oh!) I\u2019m always running late (oh!)
\nMy mate\u2019s all get frustrated coz I always make \u2018em wait (oh!)
\nI\u2019m late (oh!) I\u2019m late (oh!) and now I\u2019m in a state (oh!)
\nBecause no matter what I do it seems that\u2019s just my fate (oh!)<\/p>\n
Verse 2<\/p>\n
I got an interview for the job of a lifetime
\nSo set 3 alarms just coz I know what I\u2019m like
\nBut on this occasion they weren\u2019t actually needed
\nCoz I was so excited that I woke up at half 5
\nI jumped in my ride and I slapped in the postcode
\nBut roadworks meant that that way was a no-go
\nSo took my own route – an unusual tact
\nTo assume that I knew better than Google Maps
\nAs if to prove a fact I got totally lost
\nAnd had to phone up the boss who was appropriately cross
\nWhen I finally got there and started explaining
\nI was sweating so much they asked if it was raining
\nI did the interview and it coulda gone better
\nSo didn\u2019t have high hopes when they sent me the letter
\nI opened it regardless and read the first line
\n\u201cWe regret to inform you\u2026\u201d – Huh, what a surprise\u2026<\/p>\n
I\u2019m late (oh!) I\u2019m late (oh!) I\u2019m always running late (oh!)
\nMy mate\u2019s all get frustrated coz I always make \u2018em wait (oh!)
\nI\u2019m late (oh!) I\u2019m late (oh!) and now I\u2019m in a state (oh!)
\nBecause no matter what I do it seems that\u2019s just my fate (oh!)<\/p>\n
Verse 3<\/p>\n
Yo, I met a chick at a gig and we hit it off
\nArranged to link for a drink and a bit of nosh
\nDidn\u2019t plan to get drunk on the first date
\nBut decided to take the bus just in case
\nNow I\u2019m outta practice coz I\u2019m usually driving
\nAnd when I get to the bus stop I see it arriving
\nSo I dive in quickly because I don\u2019t wanna miss it
\nBuy a ticket and start sitting without reading the signage
\nI sit back, relax and watch the world go by
\nBut something about the journey doesn\u2019t feel quite right
\n– But by the the time that I\u2019ve started to question
\nWe\u2019ve gone 5 stops in the wrong direction (stop!)
\nWhen I do eventually get to the pub
\nShe\u2019s not there so I guess she\u2019s think I stood her up
\nI call to explain and her phone starts ringing
\n– \u201cSorry I\u2019m running late I\u2019ll be there in a minute\u201d<\/p>\n
I\u2019m late (oh!) I\u2019m late (oh!) I\u2019m always running late (oh!)
\nMy mate\u2019s all get frustrated coz I always make \u2018em wait (oh!)
\nI\u2019m late (oh!) I\u2019m late (oh!) and now I\u2019m in a state (oh!)
\nBecause no matter what I do it seems that\u2019s just my fate (oh!)<\/p>\n
Out of order mate\u2026<\/p>\n
I mean who shows up late on the first date?<\/p>\n
I know obviosuly I was late, but that\u2019s different, I had a good excuse.<\/p>\n
I just don\u2019t think I could be with someone like that, y\u2019know?<\/p>\n
It just shows such a lack of respect\u2026<\/p>\n
It\u2019s just rude!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
