Sleeper (Reissue Bonus Track)

(الألبوم: Whatever You Say, Say Nothing - 1993)

Tired night driver dawn
Brakes clash with the lights on
Dashboard panel neon sign
London five, anywhere miles away
He's been in the seat
Under the sparkle sky
Picking out the cats eyes
Over the miles away

I'm not just her cover man
She never did understand
I'm not just your best friend
I'm just a sleeper

You've been missing traffic
Traveling in the underbelly
Wonder 'bout the neighbourhood threat
That's hanging over
Could you be the one they thought of
Pulling out all the stops
To catch you with your punch clock
And take time just to knock you off

He's just a criminal
He's just a night keeper
Don't think he'll upset you
He's just a sleeper

Big black Billy Dan
Didn't give a monkey damn
Took the road to sleep in
And the river for to weep in
Everyone was sure he took
All that shit for god's sake
Now he's in the avenue
Making plans for human means

The man looks like nothing
Come on like a creeper
Don't be fooled by nothing
He's just a sleeper

Some folk don't rest up
Or give up or shut up
Or put up or back up
From things that make the heart stop
So don't go thinking that
This is much sweeter
Put up your fences
Cause I'm the restless sleeper

You think you've got the class war
Beaten up and gone forever
You know the troubles coming
Riding on the sleeper
