| Morphine sedates and sends you to sleep
|
| What I would give for a sleep that was deep
|
| I can hear birds calling my name
|
| What I would give to send them away
|
| Cos I’m still awake and weary and bleary eyed
|
| I switched on my bedside light
|
| Took out my shotgun instead
|
| Fired twenty rounds of pure lead
|
| The land of nod the trees are white
|
| The sky is black, it’s always the night
|
| Sleeping pills do the trick
|
| The candle’s reached the end of the wick
|
| It flickers and feels so weary and bleary eyed
|
| I switched on my bedside light
|
| Took out my shotgun instead
|
| Fired twenty rounds of pure lead
|
| (one verse 'oooh's)
|
| …weary and bleary eyed
|
| I switched on my bedside light
|
| Took out my shotgun instead
|
| Fired twenty rounds of pure lead
|
| Send me to sleep (x8)
|
| To sleep (repeat and fade) |
