What can I do to sleep with you What can I do? To sleep with you? I don’t want to go out with you Cause I don’t think that wed last too long I don’t want to spend hours talking with you I’ve already heard that song I don’t want to get to know you But girl I’d really like to show you That I don’t really care girl Whatever we do Just as long as I end up sleeping with you Uh huh What can I do to sleep with you What can I do? To sleep with you? I can give you money I can buy you a car I can call my agent and he’ll make you a star I will buy you jewelry I can buy you a ring Let me in your pants I’ll give you anything I want to be your lover I can’t be your man But if I can’t please you baby then nobody can I want to kiss you and hold you Many times I have told you I can make you come like it’s never been done, Tonight Your body’s looking oh so tight/very nice What can I do to sleep with you What can I do? To sleep with you?

I thought you were my prize Cause girl you blew my mind I looked up to you But you treated me unkind I know you’ll disagree Ain’t that just like you You spoil everything And then put the blame on me And now you’ve run away Am I supposed to cry? [Girl] I guess you weren’t the one [And] You [just] wasted all my time Because… I’m still waiting I’m still waiting For my super hero For my super hero girl I see you/her in my dreams You’re/she’s everywhere it seems I will wait for you/her And I know you’ll/she’ll wait for me I feel her in my heart I see her in my brain Shell come to me to wash me clean and take away this pain But…. I feel you in my heart And girl your in my mind I will wait for you Until the end of time And then well run away Oh so far from here Girl I don’t care who you are I just long to have you near

lyrics

Someone else is scared Someone else cant sleep Someone else is paranoid Someone else sees black Everywhere he looks Someone else is in a void Someone else just sits In a chair for days Thinking how he can avoid Someone else from moving in Someone else from taking what it his I’m not the only one I’m not the only one I’m not the only one That’s felt this way before When you give your all But its not enough To even please your best of friends And your always sick From a pain inside And no one seems to give a damn When you call on the phone To someone you think cares And they act like yo don’t exist Someone else has felt this way before Someone else has closed and locked the door Someone else is crying on their way home Someone else has died on their bedroom floor I’m not the only one I’m not the only one I’m not the only one That’s felt this way before

Get along as you are Search your heart And soon you’ll find your way back home Paint and be happy girl Just let go And stop your mind from turning on Live your life like you see in your dreams Next thing you know it’s reality I cannot do it for you I would If I could veronica Cause girl I know That you’ll find That your love’s a state of mind And you will see That you can be Anything you’ve ever dreamed And you will feel When your heart is on fire for something real Get along as you are Tune your soul in And then you will feel whole Stop wasting your time Climb out of your schemes Open your eyes And you’ll see what I mean Your worried you’ll waste your love I know But open your heart and let it flow I wish I could do it for you I would If I could veronica Cause girl I know That soon you’ll find That my love for you is blind I could try to deny but I would die I can see you and me Running through a field of dreams I know you Got your plans But I hope they include me I heard you say Don’t touch me that way But I don’t see you running away From that first day That I called your name I know we’ve never been the same Oh oh oh veronica

I’m thinking I think I am What was I thinking I can feel it But I can’t remember What I was feeling Somethings happening I can feel it Hey did something happen Someone’s coming Did you hear that I think I’m drooling I don’t say a word Bout what I heard Cause I don’t remember God I’d like another But if I take another Will I forget to breath.

Pass me another Percocet I don’t think my mind’s as wet As it could be I’m not throwing up yet See I can still stand up here on my own They put me on the thorazine I promised I was going clean I’m off amphetamines And now my life is like a dream Everybody now seems to have a purpose Is it really like that Is it really like that Can it really be like that Having a purpose Some kind of purpose Can I get a purpose You think were doing it on purpose? Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh Mmmaaaaaaaaaannnnnnn I’m just going to sit here for a while And smile And watch you smile As you light your cigarette I’m going to take another half of that Percocet And drift away… I’m a junkie I know I got no place to go But no place is better than here I’m a stranger in town I’ll sleep on the ground But man I got nothing to fear I’d break my back Just to get some demoral I tried the crack I didn’t think it was all that Cause I like my high To get me high And keep me there Out there To where I don’t know where or when I’m coming down again Can I get it like that Is there a drug like that Can it be like that I need a drug like that Benzodiazepines Are probably the coolest scene And I’ve popped the best of them Nothings like valium As long you can remember to Buy some before you run out I want to get clean And be a normal person But I get so bored with it It’s that old routine Everyone’s so crystal clean Everyone they act so mean Short hair and gossip magazines And now lets all talk about the Latest drama on the TV today Oh fucking boy Don’t want to live like that I can’t do it like that Don’t want to do it like that I can’t live like that Cause I’m a junkie I know I got no place to go But no place is better than here I am down on the ground I hate coming down I am anxious and so filled with fear I’m a junkie I’m a junkie junkie

Although your heart is broken And everything’s been taken You’re left alone and weeping Can’t even eat or sleep and Well you know it And your mama knows it Everybody knows it You gotta keep moving on Keep moving on yea you keep on moving You gotta keep moving one When everything’s you made has Only fallen to pieces You stumble and your weakened Can’t even barely breath and You know it And your brother knows it Everybody knows it You gotta keep moving on You’re not alone Though your heart’s filled with fear You have somebody here You’re not alone Though you’re drowning inside you have no need to hide You’re not alone Though it feels like your through your whole life’s in front of you You’re not alone Though it’s hard for you now You can make it somehow you’re not alone Keep moving on

Come sit by the fire And I will watch you smile Nahal Your soul’s in view to me The light of all I see Is you Nahal It’s all I see Nahal I will taste your lips And kiss your finger tips Nahal In light of our mistake The best of this affair we’ll make Well make love all night long Till we cannot go on at all Nahal Come kneel by the fire And now well say goodbye Nahal I’ll long for your embrace The touch of your soft hand Across My face Nahal Is all I’ll ever want It’s all I’ll ever want

about

Ed Hale and the boys deliver 13 tracks (plus bonus material) on this follow up to 2002's worldly Rise and Shine. Sleep with you is darker (Junkie, Vicodin) and rocks harder (I'm not the only one, Sleep with you) than its predecessor. Its mood is at once passionate and romantic (Beautiful one, Veronica) and cheeky (Minnie Driver, Girls) and fun (Super hero girl). Gone are the multi-cultural world-music leanings as the band delivers over the top alt-rock and brit-pop ear candy dressed up in beautiful melodies and soaring guitar. This is the heaviest the band has ever sounded, and the most authentic as a "rock band" as evidenced by the pounding bass and drums on almost every track that warrants such. Not that Sleep with you is all rock. As much as it rocks, its not. Guilty is as radio friendly pop as you can find, and Keep moving on could be an alternate track from U2's All that you cant leave behind. The album closes with the delicate and gorgeous fire-side ballad Little tree, and then explodes into a thunderous one chord anthem complete with Zeppelinesqe strings and some seriously head-spinning guitar before trailing off into dreamy samples and feedback.
