How Do You Sleep?

its about somebody whos done you wrong [in their case their manager] asking them how the feel about it coz in the end it's his consciounce that'll have to answer. T#

The song is written from the perspective of the Devil. Here's the quotes to show how:

Banquet for the dead= hell. Severed head All dressed up for dinner, looked so fine = hell

The apple in your mouth slipped in mine= contorted reference to Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve

So raise your glasses, here's a toast to wasted lives = what the Devil hopes for May all their ghost come back to haunt you = what the Devil hopes for

"When the angel of death comes knock, knocking And banging at your door" = Angel of Death is straight out the Bible

When all the fun was over..Took you "home"..Shot down.. and claimed, mounted and framed= reference to once Devil has led people to have all their "fun" in this life he'll bring them "home" (hell) to have that horrible stuff mentioned happened to them.

Are my dreams your nightmares= Devil's thoughts Get off your knees, the party's over= Getting of knees means stop praying

More than one narrative. The biblical references are merged with the band's frustrations with people in the music industry and the way the lack of freedom they now had.

My dad used to play this to me when I was about 7 and I still love it. Not really sure about a meaning though?

Its based off of the beheading of John the Baptist

this is definitely about someone w/regrets but not the narrator.

I think there's almost a sense that John Squire was writing about the breakdown of the Stone roses. But i could be wrong.

REGRETTING THINGS, HAVING A CONSCIENCE, SHES COMING BACK TO HAUNT YOU, SOMEONE MAY FEEL THEY HAVE WASTED ALL THEY HAD, DESPAIR, NOW ASK THEM - HOW DO YOU SLEEP - TRUSSLER
