Sleeper Lyrics

Tired night driver dawn
Brakes clash with the lights on
Dashboard panel neon sign
London five, anywhere miles away
He's been in the seat
Under the sparkle sky
Picking out the cats eyes
Over the miles away
I'm not her cover man
Just she never did understand
l'm not your best friend
I'm just a sleeper

You've been missing traffic
Travelling in the underbelly
Wonder 'bout the neighbourhood threat
Thats hanging over
Could you be the one they thought of
Pulling out all the stops
To catch you with your punch clock
And take time just to knock you off
Hes just a criminal
Hes just a night keeper
Don't think he'll upset you
Cause he's just a sleeper
Big black Billy Dan
Didnae give a monkey d***
Took the road to sleep in
And the river for to weep in
Everyone was sure he took
All that s*** for god's sake
Now he's in the avenue
Making plans for human means
The man looks like nothing
Comes on like a creeper
Don't be fooled by nothing
Hes just a sleeper
Some folk don't rest up
Or give up or shut up
Or put up or back up
From things that make the heart stop
So dont go thinking that
This is much sweeter
Put up your fences
Cause I'm the restless sleeper
You think you've got the class war
Beaten up and gone forever
You know the troubles coming
Riding on the sleeper
