Robert Palmer

Robert Allen Palmer (19 January 1949 – 26 September 2003) was an English singer and songwriter. He was known for his powerful, soulful voice and sartorial elegance, and for his stylistic explorations, combining soul, funk, jazz, rock, pop, reggae, and blues. While his "four-decade career incorporated every genre of music", Palmer is best known "for the pounding rock-soul classic, 'Addicted to Love', and its accompanying video, which came to epitomise the glamour and excesses of the 1980s."Having started in the music industry in the 1960s, including a spell with Vinegar Joe, he found success in the 1980s, both in his solo career and with the Power Station, scoring Top 10 hits in the United Kingdom and the United States.

Phone keeps ringin' right off the hook.
Some bill collector I know I cussed. 
I think I'll stay in bed and dream all day.
The world outside bugs me anyway.
When I get things going the going gets rough, 
So I ask myself why get up?
Why get up? Why get up? 
How can I get up?
Why should I get up?
This whole worlds gone crazy, Think I've seen enough.
I'm gonna sleep forever - why get up?
I went to the doctor He said loose some weight.
And if you don't do it quick we got to amputate.
I talked to my lawyer he said case is closed 
That woman got it all even the garden hose.
I'm starin' at the ceiling thinking just my luck
I think I'll roll back on over - why get up?
Why get up? Why get up? 
How can I get up? 
Why should I get up?
This whole worlds gone crazy, Think I've seen enough.
I'm gonna sleep forever - why get up?
Well I can't quit tickin' - I'm nervous all the time
When I wake up these nights, it's turnin' round in my mind
What was it I said to that girl last night
She really got upset I better stay out of sight
I remember the gun and someone calling my bluff 
I better duck undercover - why get up ?
Why get up, why get up
How can I get up
Why should I get up 
This whole worlds gone crazy think I've seen enough 
Think I'll roll back on over why get up.
