Name: Troubled Sleep
Duration: P00H04M26S
Description: Along with Snow Came Down this is amongst the earliest tracks here. Written in 1989 when I was all alone in a squat on the North Circular road in Arnos Grove pretending to be the next Nick Cave as if one wasn't more than enough. Dedicated to one Janice Broad who gave me many nights of ...oh and pre computer days...old typewriter and pen drawings like I'd seen on Giant Sand albums ;-)

lyrics

Troubled sleep

Smoke drifting from the factory
Wet cars cruising down wetter streets
A past like burnt lace in my hand
I don't pretend to understand

The only thing you've left to me
Troubled sleep

You came to far to ever return
With a tin-star and hearts to burn
You made demands that you couldn't meet
Now I shoot you down in my dreams

Fall on me when the snow gets deep
Call me if there's a fire on your street
But don't ask me for anything more
I ain't gonna forgive you at all
