I Can't Sleep

(album: The La's - 1990)

I was looking through my window
I was looking through my eyes
And there's a big black car coming
Get off the street outside – come in
Go into a pipe-dream no-one listens anyway

When I say I'm so sad about, not so glad about
I'm so mad – I can't sleep tonight

I was going through a nightmare
I was laying on the line
And there's a big black train coming
D'you think it would be a shame running
Go into a bathroom
No-one looking anyway

When I say I'm so sad about, not so glad about
I'm so mad – I can't sleep tonight

I was looking through my window
I was looking through my eyes
And there's a big black cloud coming
Get off the street outside – come in
Go into a pipe-dream no-one listens anyway

When I say I'm so sad about, not so glad about
I'm so mad – I can't sleep tonight
