"This song's about when you've slept with someone and no matter what you do in the day - you can keep yourself busy, you can run around, you can keep your head occupied; but when you go to bed, you can't control... you never know what you're gonna dream about." - Amy Winehouse, Glastonbury 2007

Explosions in the Sky – The Moon Is Down Lyrics 18 years ago
Or... it takes it from Sappho:

The Moon is down,
The Pleiades. Midnight,
The hours flow on,
I lie, alone.

Paul McCartney – Too Many People Lyrics 18 years ago
"Too Many People Sharing Party Lines
Too Many People Never Sleeping Late
Too Many People Paying Parking Fines
Too Many Hungry People Losing Weight"

I was being a dork this morning and reading random Wikipedia pages, and got to thinking: maybe this verse has a semi-hidden meaning. Lennon was known to enjoy cocaine and, with that in mind, phrases like "party lines" and imagery of people "losing weight" and "never sleeping late" would kinda fit into a jab about that. "Parking fines" admittedly does not fit, but it's just a thought.
