Song Descriptionmost of this is true...it describes some of the various noises which are prevalent throughout the day & night as heard from my room
Story Behind the Songan attempt @ putting together the sounds of my home environment...the chaos in the surrounding streets and tightly-packed homes & how it intrudes upon my everyday life...
no doubt my songwriting efforts merely add to the cacophony...

Lyrics
verse I
between the mogies & the neighbours & the summer heat
& the bar downstairs with its disco beat
police car sirens in the dead of night
roundin' up the drunks 'n' breakin' up the fights
I can't sleep (I been counting those sheep)
I can't sleep
verse II
there's a dog that barks & a bird that squawks
nobody 'round here ever just talks
they all bellyachin' at the top of their voice
I just lie in my bed & I listen to the noise
I can't sleep (my soul to keep)
I can't sleep
verse III
there's a bus whose brakes grind & squeal
as it thunders down the Bo-gwang hill
the chinese take-out delivery bikes
it's a party in the street ' most ev'ry night
I can't sleep (it just makes me weep)
I can't sleep
verse IV
theres'a baby cryin' why, I don't know
'n' there's some pop song blaring on the radio
all this noise is fillin' up my head
why can't these people just go to bed?
I can't sleep (not even a peep)
I can't sleep
verse V
the neighbours out back, their playing russian roulette
watchin' a soccer game in Paris on their TV set
they've been hootin' & a-hollerin' all night long
so I sat up in my room & wrote this song
I can't sleep (...)
I can't sleep
