"Bedshaped and legs of stone" is a quote from Keane's song Bedshaped.

Can anybody explain what it means? Is it that you, allthough you've just
wakened up, still have the shape of your bed (figurative) and you are so
dizzy you can hardly walk (legs of stone).

Kind regards from Holland!
Joris.

We have "shipshaped and Bristol fashion", so I suppose we could have
"bedshaped and Ware fashion", "carpetshaped and Kidderminster
fashion", "pearshaped and Hereford fashion"....

Smile but it's "shipshape and Bristol fashion".
