Robbie: Well, Adam's favourite alarm clock chucked it in this morning. So, Tripod wrote an ode to it. Also palindromes - words you can say backwards, and they stay the same.

Yon and Gatesy: Goodbye, little alarm clock,
You've given me great times.
Gatesy: But lately, time's been slipping away from you.
Yon and Gatesy: Why you've given up on me, I don't know.
Tripod: Alarm clock, don't be sour,
You're losing all your power,
It's your eleventh hour,
Time to go.

Yon: I got you when I was ten,
Things were simpler then.
You woke me up in time for the early-bird show.
And later on that day,
You woke me up okay,
In time for Simon Townsend's Wonderworld.

Scod: I slept a lot as a kid,
Oh, alarm clock, all the things we did.
Yon and Gatesy: Yeah, yeah.
Scod: Well, you didn't do much,
You just sat there making noise,
And now that's what I do for a living.

Yon and Gatesy: Goodbye, little alarm clock,
You've given me great times.
Gatesy: But lately, time's been slipping away from you.
Yon and Gatesy: Why you've given up on me, I don't know.
Tripod: Alarm clock, don't be sour,
You're losing all your power,
It's your eleventh hour,
Time to go.

Yon: And when my teenage years unfurled,
When I brought home a girl,
You sat and watched and never judged me once.
But not matter who it was,
They came second because,
Alarm clock, it's always your face that I saw.

Scod: I was a pretty weird kid,
They said I loved you, and I did.
Yon and Gatesy: Yeah, yeah.
Scod: But they can keep their skateboards,
'Cause you go backwards and forwards,
Not unlike words like "glenelg" or "boob".

Gatesy: Goodbye, little alarm clock, goodbye.
How could I ever replace you?
Maybe I should get one of those atomic clocks,
That would suit me just well.

Yon and Gatesy: Why you've given up on me, I don't know.
Tripod: Alarm clock, don't be sour,
You're losing all your power,
It's your eleventh hour,
Time to go.

Gatesy: Goodbye, alarm clock, goodbye...
