Lyrics To get to sleep British Sea Power

 1.004

To get to sleep


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
Industy 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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics TO GET TO SLEEP of BRITISH SEA POWER is also present in the album Open season (2005)

Biografia

British Sea Power is a four-piece indie rock band based in Brighton, England, although three of the members originally hail from Kendal in Cumbria. Their sound ranges from sweeping, often epic, guitar pop to the visceral and angular, with influences spanning from The Cure and Joy Division to the Pixies. The band consists of Yan (Scott Wilkinson) on vocals and guitar, Noble (Martin Noble) on guitar, piano, and keyboards, Hamilton (Neil Hamilton Wilkinson) on bass guitar, backing vocals, and guitar, and Wood (Matthew Wood) on drums. British Sea Power is known for their poetic lyrics and maritime atmospheres, often inspired by their passion for nature and British history. Notable tracks include "Waving Flags", "The Noble Art of Self-Preservation", and "Carsick". Their debut album, "The Decline of British Sea Power" (2003), marked the beginning of their career, followed by successes such as "Open Season" (2005) and "Do You Like Rock Music?" (2008).
