I'm only sleeping

I'm only sleeping

Woke up this morning, going back to bed
Alarm clock ringing in tune with my head
The booze I abuse to leave my boredom
I don't do drugs 'cos I cannot them
The Pye TV is my TV
'Cos the council bailiffs are after me
And when it's on it's pictures on me
I'm numb to the war in a distant country

I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
Oh yeah now!

So I cover myself beneath my quilt
My power's run down and so is my guilt
At times like this I'm at a loss
Drifting in dreams of Ocho Rios
The cat crosses my face, I remember the fact
The DSS is on my back
I used to care a lot
Now the world spins before me

These days consist of sleep and daytime TV
So whaaaa?

I'm only sleeping
I'm only sleeping
Oh yeah now!
I'm only sleeping
So whaaaa?

Uh wrap it, uh wrap it up
Eh, eh

Me a dream-a, me a dream-a, me a dream after you
Mi-ni me a dream, mi-ni me a dream-a, mi-ni me a dream after you

So whaaaa?

Yeeee-aaaah!

So whaaaa? So whaaaa-aaaaa-aaaa?

I'm only sleeping
Oh yeah now!
I'm only sleeping
Don't wake me, don't wake me
I'm only sleeping
Don't call me, don't wake me
I'm only sleeping
Oh yeah now!

Me a dream-a, me a dream-a, me a dream after you
Mi-ni me a dream, mi-ni me a dream, mi-ni me a dream, mi-ni me dream
Me a dream-a, me a dream-a, me a dream after you
Mi-ni me a dream, mi-ni me a dream, mi-ni me a dream after you

Dream pon a Monday
Ah dream pon a Tuesday
Dream pon a Wednesday
Ah dream pon a Thursday
Dream pon a Friday
Dream pon a Saturday
Some ah da people wen me look at dem dream pon a Sunday!

I'm only sleeping
Don't wake me, don't shake me
I'm only sleeping
Don't wake me, don't wake me
I'm only sleeping
I'm only dreaming....

Let's test the theory one more time

Comin' to a town near you
Experimental sounds ......... you
Suckin' in the atmosphere
Can you feel the ...............
Pointing out the chosen few

A thousand ways that I have tried
A million ways to stay alive

Chorus:
Let's test the theory one more time
Time to blow your ... mind
Test the theory one more time
Rewind
Let's test the ........... one more time


'cos I'm to blow your ............ mind
Test the ............... one more time
Rewind

Everything you know is a lie
The temperature it burns inside
A caution with a muscle pill
Scientists of what you feel
Will you still believe your mind

A thousand lies that I've been sold
A million lies that I've been told

Chorus

? ? ?

You know ........... my life is so strange
I promise to take it easy on your ........
I write you if I wrote you a letter
Would you change
I don't think so
No, I really don't think so

Chorus:
It's just my personal feeling
Running through you
It's just my personal feeling

You don't realize what you do
When you're not there for me
Oh, I'm shrinking inside
When I go to bed at night

Chorus


When I'm spinning around
It's just my personal feeling

You know 'bout the things that
People often say .......... about you
You know when I'm angry with you

Chorus

If there's a world without you
I don't wanna be ..............
I don't wanna turn the wheel
I don't wanna turn the wheel without you
No, without you
Just feeling
It's just my feeling
Why don't you realize
Why don't you take a ............ of me

Hmmm, solid on a mountain ..............
Yes, man, see me solid like a mountain .............

This is all I want you to be
We're strangers now
But that's just the way we see ourselves
It's impossible for you now
What has gone
The hour has come, my friend
For us to try and breathe again now


But I won't hold you back
Hold you back, no, my friend

If you try anew to understand
If you really want to
Live your life as jah has planned
If you really wanna live your life

But I won't hold you back
Hold you back, no, my friend

What's ...........................
And ................................
How can we learn with all
With all that we lack
With .........................
Did you pass the blame?
Did you .............................
Where did we
Where did we let them take our lives

Chorus:
They're taking my life
They're taking my time (x3)
What have you got left but your conscious?

And what was good before
............ take this ........ away
............... education is the order of the day
Sentiments for a reason
Reason for this day
Live your life with a purpose


.......... we went to strike
I know, went to strike

Chorus

It's time to confess
It's time to take a rest
No need to jump in my chest. oh no
It's time to confess
It's time to take a rest
No need to jump in my chest. oh no

It's time to step in ........ babylon
...................... to babylon
It's time to step in ........ babylon
...................... to babylon
Really and truly
Sentiments for a reason
Charge me for treason
So, they're taking my life
They're taking my time

You got me thinking
Of things I used to do with you
And now I have to try
The things I do to carry through

Days pass me by
You tear my soul and leave me cold
Still ............... me thinking
Of what a soul to take this ................

Set your soul on fire
............ now

Lies all my life
You cared for me and I cared for you
So why do you try


Breakin' through my hold on you

If you paid love
I would steal love
If you paid love
I would steal love with you, with you

Set your soul on fire

You cared for me
I said you cared for me as i, as i

Set your soul on fire
You set my soul
Set your soul on fire

So here I am
A broken man
What I have is held in my hand
And what you choose
Is what you get
What you lose is your regret, your regret

So here I am
A drunken man
Another dragon in my head
And what you want
Is what you get
What you get you never want

I'm in freefall

So here I am
A lonely man


And maybe you don't give a damn, give a damn
Please, take me in
And wash me down
And show me ............. I can't be found

So here I am
A falling man
But some things will never change, no
What you don't know
It won't hurt you, no
Still it hurts you just the same

I'm in freefall, I'm out of control
I'm in freefall, I'm losing my hold
I'm in freefall, I'm out of control

? ? ?

Oh what a beautiful evening
Oh what a beautiful night
I've got the strangest feeling
I'm gonna ........... it tonight
? ? ?

Maybe I can be that man
Finally get to understand
Maybe I can be that man
The person that I wanna be
Has always been inside of me
Maybe you just never see

Chorus:
Out of many
I am the one (x3)
The one you know, you know

Oh what a beautiful evening
Oh what a beautiful night


I've got the sweetest feeling
You're gonna kiss me tonight
? ? ?

I know now what I've gotta be
The past is here in front of me
The future's something you can't see
The only thing that's really true
Has always been inside of me
Maybe you just never see

Chorus

/....................... we are one
Let's get together and sing this song/

? ? ?

Chorus

What if they controlled you
What if they erased your mind
I bet you one thing
You wouldn't know, you wouldn't know at all

Sometimes I feel
There's something on my mind wasting time
I really don't know
But I've gotta find the way

If it's a chance you want
Would you stop and think about somebody else
I really don't think so
I really don't think
I really don't think you would think about

What if they could see you
You're just a face amongst the crowd
Hiding around so you can't be found
You wouldn't know



What if they could love you
What if they had a chance
About a lonesome thing
You wouldn't know

What if they could love you
What if they had a chance
I bet you one thing
You wouldn't know, you wouldn't know

What if they could buy you
How much more to change your mind
And still ...............
It's just rock'n'roll to me
It's just one of those things, one of those things

Babylon release the chain
.................... the pain

Out of my mind
I get happy
I get bitter
I can even miss a city
I get broken
I get mended
I can sometimes get offended
I get comfort
I get violent
Now and then i ...
I get halved
And i get double
Frequently i get in trouble
But this one thing that i found
I can't get you out of my mind
I can't get you out of my mind
I get angry
I get fitter
Can't believe i've missed the city
I get soaken
Then get dried up
It's not time to clean my line up
I get homely
I get distant
I'm so lonely 'cos i missed you
With these feelings i'm revealing
What it is that i am feeling
But this one thing that i found
I can't get you out of my mind
I can't get you out of my mind

...........................................
.......................... to increase the peace
I carry on talkin' if we all agree

Said we want to end this thing in peace

Chorus:
Will I ever live to get out of here? (x4)

No to surrender, it's not in me agenda
You know I'm not a gangster, no I'm not a robber
Will me take 'cos ..........................
I would be a prisoner
In prison I will suffer, they'd also call me nigger

Chorus

............................. everyone will get fixed
Sometimes you can't stop a bullet with a bulletproof
But I'm no ............, I'm no culprit, I'm no ............, I'm no ..........
Open me window, gone shot past me neck
I wish I was ..............
Then I wouldn't have to worry, I wouldn't have to ............
Remember in life what a life you ......... get
One stop, come again
