Wake up Charlie, rise and shine
Pour the tea, I'll draw the blind
Sunlight halo, you look wonderful
Darling Charlie, pale and deathly still
For heaven's sake, wake up Charlie

Was a full moon last night
I was full of bravado
Dead drunk, dead sure, one of us had to go
Raised my head in anger, hurt you again
Dust to dust, and fire to ashes you can
Thank me for nothing now Charlie

I was eaten up with jealousy
Bones to pick and rumours to feed
How my heart bleeds, love's a big mistake
Mercy Charlie oh for pity's sake
Forgive me, speak to me, Charlie

Wake up Charlie rise and shine
Pour the tea, I'll draw the blind
Sunlight halo you look wonderful
Darling Charlie, pale and deathly still
For heaven's sake, wake up Charlie
