This song was written about trying to be lazy all of the time, with no regards to surrounding life except for getting jobs done to be lazy in the first place. The song featured the use of the Gizmotron, a guitar device played by Lol Creme (and invented by him and bandmate Kevin Godley) to save costs...
[Verse 1]
Hazy days
With lazy ways
You got less done but more
Out of your days
How can you work yet avoid
Getting out of your lazy ways?
[Chorus]
You'll never get up if you don't get up
You'll always stay down if you sit around
You'll never get up if you don't get up
You'll always stay down if you sit around
[Verse 2]
Hazy days
Lazy ways
We got less done but more
Out of our days
How can we ever recapture the feeling
Of lazy ways?
[Chorus]
You'll never get up if you don't get up
You'll always stay down if you sit around
Where nobody cares and nobody tries
'Cause a daydream's resting on the back of your eyes
On the back of your eyes
Taking five
[Bridge]
Bring love to me
With your body
Let me hold you
Endless, endlessly
[Chorus]
You'll never get up if you don't get up
You'll always stay down if you sit around
Where nobody cares and nobody tries
'Cause a daydream's resting on the back of your eyes
On the back of your eyes
Ooh
[Verse 3]
Hazy days
With lazy ways
You get less done but more
Out of your days
Crazy days
Lazy ways
