I only smoke weed when I need to,
And I need to get some rest,
I confess, I burnt a hole in the mattress,
Yes, yes, it was me, I plead guilty,
And on the count of three I pull back the duvet,
Make my way to the refrigerator,
One dry potato inside, no lie
Not even bread, jam,
When the light above my head went bam!
I can't sleep, something's all over me,
Greasy, insomnia please release me,
And let me dream about making mad love on the heath,
Tearing off tights with my teeth.
But there's no relief,
I'm wide awake in my kitchen,
It's dark and I'm lonely,
Oh, if I could only get some sleep,
Creeky noises make my skin creep,
I need to get some sleep,
I can't get no sleep....
And I need to get some rest,
I confess, I burnt a hole in the mattress,
Yes, yes, it was me, I plead guilty,
And on the count of three I pull back the duvet,
Make my way to the refrigerator,
One dry potato inside, no lie
Not even bread, jam,
When the light above my head went bam!
I can't sleep, something's all over me,
Greasy, insomnia please release me,
And let me dream about making mad love on the heath,
Tearing off tights with my teeth.
But there's no relief,
I'm wide awake in my kitchen,
It's dark and I'm lonely,
Oh, if I could only get some sleep,
Creeky noises make my skin creep,
I need to get some sleep,
I can't get no sleep....

Wow, what a choon - this eclectic mix of coffee house chilledness and autoeuphoric laidbackness that is created is just superb as for the lyrics I think he's on a comedown
"" This is the best version of this song, with the best lyrics. But which version is it (and how long is it)? The lyrics seem to start with "Deep in the bosom of the gentle night" with every copy I find. ""
Deep in the bosom of the gentle night, is when I search for the light, pick up my pen and start to write, I strugle and fight dark forces in the clear moonlight without fear, insomnia.
I can't get no sleep
I used to worry, thought I was going mad in a hurry getting stressed making excess mess in darkness, no electricity, something's all over me, greasy insomnia please release me and let me dream of making mad love to my girl on the heeth, tearing off tights with my teeth, but there's no release no peace I toss and turn without cease, like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast, at least a couple of weeks since I last slept, kept taking sleepers, but now I keep myself pepped, deeper still, the night I write by candle light, I find insight, fundenmental movement, uh, so when it's black, this insomniac, take an original tack, keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack, I gets no sleep, I can't get no sleep
taken from total memory so I could be wrong but I hope that helps you :P
I cant get no sleep
This is the best version of this song, with the best lyrics. But which version is it (and how long is it)? The lyrics seem to start with "Deep in the bosom of the gentle night" with every copy I find.

wwwill,
what you are referring to is the radio edit of this choon. the above lyrics are from the album version/club mix, which is only available on the album "Reverence" or every import club mix CD from the year 1996-1997.
what a choon! yet again, Maxi Jazz taking us lyrically, musically and emotionally to our own bitter sweet euphoria. Now thats what i'm talking about.
I like the remix version, but I haven't heard any other version as of yet
There are alot more versions of this song than many people realise. :: The Original Radio Edit lasted 03:36 and the Original Mix on 2 x 12" lasted 10:55 (of sweet heaven!). The lyrics here also appeared on the Revernce album and the track lasts 08:47. The US album also got the Monster Radio edit 03:34. The Reverence/Irreverence album also features Insomnia (Moody Mix) 10:40. In fact there are quite a few other mixes but i won't bore you with all the stats! Hope that's of some help
the version ive got lasts 4 minutes odd, but the start is actually the latter part and starts just after he says 'i cant get no sleep' really slow then it goes into the lyrics AjRuler says.
i got the monster mix, bout 7 mins, wiv the lyrics up there, the smoke weed ones. botherd lol
