Behind the wall of sleep lyrics smithereens

Features

• She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965
  She had legs that never ended
  I was halfway paralyzed
  She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal
  If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul

  Now I lie in bed and think of her
  Sometimes I even weep
  Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep

  Well she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band
  And she stood just like Bill Wyman
  Now I am her biggest fan
  Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
  And I've got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them

  Now I lie in bed and think of her
  Sometimes I even weep
  Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep

  Now I lie in bed and think of her
  Sometimes I even weep
  Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep

  Got your number form a friend of mine who lives in your home town
  Called you up to have a drink
  Your roommate said you weren't around
  Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
  And I've just got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them

  Now I lie in bed and think of her
  Sometimes I even weep
  Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep
  Behind the wall of sleep
  Behind the wall of sleep
  Behind the wall of sleep

She had hair like Jeannie Shipton back in 1965
She had legs that never ended
I was halfway paralyzed.
She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal
If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul.

Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep,
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep.

Well she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band
And she stood just like Bill Wyman
Now I am her biggest fan.
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them.

Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep,
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep.

Got your number form a friend of mine who lives in your home town.
Called you up to have a drink,
Your roommate said you weren't around.
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've just got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them.

Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep,
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep.
Behind the wall of sleep.
Behind the wall of sleep.
Behind the wall of sleep.
