Good Night - Reuben

It’s four a.m. and I cannot sleep

Stuck in my bed next to a naked woman

My body’s tired like a gun riff

But my brain has woken up and wants to party

All my new songs are whizzing round there

How many tracks should we put on the record?

I wish my head could just be empty

But I’ve started thinking and I can’t stop now

I can’t stop

Not now

I can’t stop

Awake for hours in a fucking bind

Held captive by my over-active mind

All plans and shopping lists and fresh ideas

If only I could have a good night

A good night

A good night

A good night

A good…,

It’s two p.m.

and I just woke up

Stuck in my bed because there’s nothing doing

No complications, no commitments

No reason I should open up my eyes

Yeah Trisha’s on, but she just talks rubbish

And I don’t listen to a word she says

My girl is ready and she wants to play

But I’m late for work and I cannot stop now

I can’t stop

Not now

I can’t stop

Wasting my time being here anyway

Nobody wants to eat a thing today

I’m walking up and down and back again

Wish I was home having a good night

A good night

Good night

Bebop

Rock steady

I’m gone

To the chippy

I know

That you’ll miss me

So stay up

'til I say

Good night

We’ll have a good night…
