"Can't Get Out of Bed" comes from the Charlatans' 1994 album Up to Our Hips, and it's the sound of the band settling into a lazy, loping groove and liking it there. All five wrote it together, and Steve Hillage produced it, with Dave Charles engineering. Rob Collins' organ and piano do the heavy lifting, wheezing and rolling around the rhythm section of Martin Blunt on bass and Jon Brookes on drums, while Mark Collins adds guitar and Tim Burgess sings lead with that dreamy, half-awake drawl of his, perfectly matched to the title.
