Every October here in the UK we set the clocks back by an hour
It’s gives you a feeling of turning back time, one tiny moment of power
It’s meant to be done at two in the morning but that doesn't come with a warning
Some folk it is said do it just before bed and the morn is an hour late dawning

But tonight is a fix, BBC and Netflix are trying to mess with my head
The rubbish they’re showing is hardly mind blowing, I’ll go to bed early instead
This October Sunday decreed as the one day to turn back those hands as is said
The hour we borrow, I could take tomorrow, but I’ll change them now and then bed

But then of all things my bloody phone rings, my mum says the clocks change tonight 
Early is fine but not before nine, or the order of things will take flight
I told her I might have a real early night, so I’ll change the clocks now I said
She sounded irate, but it’s only eight... it’s bad luck and you could be dead

With thanks for the warning I thanked her for calling and told her don’t mess with my head
There aren’t any ghoulies or gargoyles or gremlins to strike when the hour is shed
So all of my clocks I knocked one hour off and then I went straight up to bed
The stairs I would climb in that moment in time never occurred in my head

But then of all things my bloody phone rings, my mum says the clocks change tonight 
Early is fine but not before nine, or the order of things will take flight
I told her I might have a real early night, so I’ll change the clocks now I said
She sounded irate, but it’s only eight... it’s bad luck and you could be dead

With thanks for the warning I thanked her for calling and told her don’t mess with my head
There aren’t any ghoulies or gargoyles or gremlins to strike when the hour is shed
So all of my clocks I knocked one hour off and then I went straight up to bed
The stairs I would climb in that moment in time never occurred in my head

But then of all things my bloody phone rings...
