Sleep One of the last songs to be written for "The Invisible Man", it was written on a train up to Birmingham in August 2000 and played live for the first time that night at Ronnie Scotts.It was played live fairly consistently right up until the AMC reformation in August 2003 A live version is officially available on the WFMU live broadcast from April 16th 2001 that was sold on tour and via the website. An interesting alternative version can be found on the demos for "The Invisible Man" that are in circulation. |
Now I love all seven deadly sins I love to watch 'em smile on the celebrity smile show You know that's the show everybody wins A fabulous tour of the hell they already know And some people know how to trap the light Like a bird in flight knows how to trap the sun Some people keep their lump of coal saftley out of sight Thinking one day it wiull be as hard as diamond And if I had a song that could disolve in sleep A pedal steel guitar simple and clean If I had a song that could dissolve in sleep Maybe you'd hear it all through your dream Altar boys look good in lace But they're not known for their guts or good nature Goodness is not some pretty picture you paint It's shaking your fist into the face of danger If I had a song thatcould dissolve you in sleep Because sleep is the only thing you look forward to If I had a song that could dissolve you in sle Maybe you'll have a dream you'll want to come true Some saviours weep and weep And think their tears are gonna sew the world back together And some saviours live in trouble deep And die knowing nothing more than a failure If I had a song that could dissolve in sleep Maybe it could save you |
