Lyrics:
I woke up late today
Actually I do that everyday
Got no place to be seen
Im not part of a scene
Im a genius loser
Keeping counsel with my own opinion
President of the state that Im in
Should I just stay in bed?
Should I live in my head?
Oh God, so many questions to ask
Oh, you could call me lazy
I think of it as taking my time
Cos I dont want to do what I dont want to do
Im the queen refusenik
[CHORUS]
But - oh my God if I was somebody Id be doing it all just fine
But Im a real late starter
So Im making up for lost time
Oh my God if I was somebody youd be kissing my arse right now
But Im so polite I do it all of the time
I missed my calling in life
Oh well.
Day by day I wonder
If I will be torn asunder
By these things that I know that nobody else knows
Or maybe its the drinking
Kids we should consult a Bible
Everybody needs a sign - oh!
Bless the birds and the bees
The flowers and trees
And blessed be the slacker
[CHORUS]
But - oh my God if I was somebody Id be doing it all just fine
But Im a real late starter
So Im making up for lost time
Oh my God if I was somebody youd be kissing my arse right now
But Im so polite I do this all of the time
I missed my calling in life
You must be having a laugh?
Oh God youre having a laugh!
No point in worrying if my days a disaster
Inside my little head Im happy ever after
Yes I am
[CHORUS]
Oh my God if I was somebody Id be doing it all just fine
But Im a real late starter
So Im making up for lost time
Oh my God if I was somebody youd be kissing my arse right now
But Im so polite
I missed my calling in life
[CHORUS]
Oh my God if I was somebody Id be doing it all just fine
But Im a real late starter
So Im making up for lost time
Oh my God if I was somebody youd be kissing my arse right now
But Im so polite I do this all of the time
I missed my calling in life
Oh what am I like?
Yeah well.

'Real Late Starter' - Single Release Oct 19th 2009
‘Real Late Starter’
Released October 19th 2009
Taken from the brand new album ‘The Graduate’ out on October 5th
More than three years after the gold-selling Fires, Nerina Pallot has shaken up her sound, shrugged off the spectre of singer/songwriter and produced an album of clever, classy pop, including the brand new single ‘Real Late Starter.’
This stunning first single sets sassy, self-deprecating lyrics to up-tempo piano-pop that nods to ‘70s Elton John and one of Pallot’s more recent favourite bands, Scissor Sisters.
“Real Late Starter I began when I was touring with James Blunt three years ago,” explains Pallot. “I felt like a real loser, making my way to gigs on a train with my mate who was my tour manager while James was helicoptering in. I’d hear him arriving overhead and think ‘That’ll be me one day’ but it didn’t happen. I came home and, yes, still felt like a loser!
“I had so much fun when I came to finish that song because by then I was happy. There’s a real sense of ‘Yeah, sometimes life is shit, but hey, I’m actually doing okay’. Everyone feels like that from time to time and when I play it live, people love it. They seem to get it straight away.”
After working with some of the world’s biggest producers, Nerina felt that only she was able to realise her own sound by taking the reins and producing the album herself. ‘The Graduate’ took shape after two turbulent years in Pallot’s life. The first found her struggling with any sustained creativity in the midst of the promotion and touring in support of Fires. The second was a case of writer’s block caused by meeting and marrying her husband, who also hails from Pallot’s homeland of Jersey. The problem was one not often found in pop – she was too content to want to write songs.
“The idea of me writing tortured lyrics went out the window,” laughs Pallot. “After years of living out of a suitcase, watching my personal life fall apart and drinking too much, I was suddenly happier than I’ve ever been. At one stage, I wasn’t sure I’d ever make another album. I loved just being normal, having a home to go to and finally being able to attend friends’ birthday parties. I could have written a song about my fantastic fish terrine, but I doubt anyone would have wanted to hear it.”
Pallot’s sense of self-sufficiency grew when she returned to material she had written on the road touring Fires, but never finished. Realising she already had several great songs, she set about completing them, determined to write and produce the album herself. The result is a collection of classy, sophisticated pop songs that really showcase the talent of one of our more outstanding home-grown recording artists.
