The sun behind the curtain says
"Its time for getting up"
But that doesn't bother us
'Cos we are an island
When we pull the covers overhead
In the Republic of our Bed
Where we could fall asleep for hours
But they can't touch you and me
We've got immunity
Or we could lie awake in the afternoon
Watching the rockets overhead
There's something to be said for the
Republic of our Bed
Would anybody miss us?
Would anybody care?
If they looked around and we weren't there
It's not like the universe
Would come crashing to a halt
And if it did its not our fault
'Cos we could fall asleep for hours
But they can't touch you and me
We've got immunity
Or we could lie awake in the afternoon
Watching the rockets overhead
There's something to be said for the
Republic of our Bed
I hear the south of France
Will take your breath away
This time of year
But under the circumstances
We'll stay right here
The sun behind the curtain says,
"I hate to interrupt,
But its time to break this party up"
We could fall asleep for hours
But they can't touch you and me
We've got immunity
Or we could lie awake in the afternoon
Watching the rockets overhead
There's something to be said for the Republic of our Bed
There's something to be said for the Republic of our Bed
There's something to be said for the Republic of our Bed
