Yep, that's the one I was looking for.

Yep, there's yet another Who song with that line in it. Should we start
an "in the morning" list?! ;-)

I always thought it was "humbly." "Hung-over-ly" never occurred to me.
It's possible. The real test would be - does one hear a "b" or a "g"
in the pronunciation? I always heard a "b."
And Pete kind of gives it a 3-syllable pronunciation: "hum-bol-lee"
rather than "hum-blee."
But, actually, "hung-over-ly" makes more sense. Detaching one's self
in the morning from a previous night's sex partner (?) isn't exactly
a(n) "humble" act. But it is a(n) "hung-over-ly" act.
Well, we still have these clues left:
3. "won't get you"
4. "you don't notice"
