To Get To Sleep Lyrics - Singles - British Sea Power

Took a pill last night, just to get to sleep 

Put me on my back, not on my feet 

Propylene across your eyes 

To take me to the land of sighs 

Had a drink last night, just to get to sleep 

Put me on my back, knocked me off my feet 

Filled my skin with ethylnol 

To find some peace, to let it fall 

Eight hours a day - call it twenty years 

There's a place you can go 

Free of lust, cupidity and fear 

Oh it left my heart broken 

It took my breath away 

A lesson open 

A little more each day 

A little eyesore 

A little Nytol 

A little heartache 

A little soothe-all 

Melatonin, a little dose, takes things to a peaceful close 

Commerce runs through your veins 

And takes you from this waking plane 

Industry on your side 

To do what you do, when you get tired 

Eight hours a day - call it twenty years 

There's a place you can go 

Free of lust, cupidity and fear 

Oh it left my heart broken 

It took my breath away 

A little lesson open 

A little more each day 

A little eyesore 

A little Nytol 

A little heartache 

A little soothe-all 

A little eyesore 

A little Nytol 

A little heartache 

A little soothe-all
