Sleep - Elvis Costello[00:02:48]

The soldier asked my name and did I come here very often[00:02:48]

Well, I thought that he was asking me to dance[00:02:48]

In my holey coat and hat and him in his red bonnet[00:02:48]

We'd have made a lovely couple but we never had the chance[00:02:48]

And now you say that you've got to go[00:02:48]

Well, if you must you must[00:02:48]

I suppose that you need the sleep of the just[00:02:48]

Well, it was a powerful day and there were black crows in the road[00:02:48]

And I kept my strong opinions to my chest[00:02:48]

I suppose I should have told them that I was on fire for you[00:02:48]

When the bus burst into flames outside some place, 'The poet's rest'[00:02:48]

And now you say that you've got to go[00:02:48]

Well, if you must you must[00:02:48]

I suppose that you need the sleep of the just[00:02:48]

A girl woke up in a naked light and said, "Oh no, not again"[00:02:48]

He even looked like her brother in the army but she never mentions him[00:02:48]

He'll be tucked up in his bed tonight with his dirty-pictures, girl[00:02:48]

Saying, "You're some mother's daughter, you know[00:02:48]

Or is it immaterial girl?"[00:02:48]

Now she's pinned up upon the barracks wall in her home town[00:02:48]

All the soldiers taking turns with their attentions[00:02:48]

And as they speculate what she'd look like beneath that thin nightgown[00:02:48]

His family pride was rising up as he cast his eyes down[00:02:48]
