count the sheep
over me

Count the sheep
321
This shepherd got a gun
flying to close to the sun
while taking his dog for a run

In my head
at the edge of my bed
feel the warmth from my tea
slowly leaving me 

Count the sheep 
a few might run on by
but the rest will be
crawling asking god why

Electric sheep
are here to help me
fall asleep 
in the arms of machines 

Lost the count
so i’ll start again
1,2,3,4,5
6,7,8,9,10, and 11
But I disappeared into those seven minutes
that felt like heaven

Wild Heart (Live At Radio City Music Hall)

I Can't Explain

I woke up last night thought I heard screaming, my heart it was heavy – was much like my breathing. Feeling unsteady I got to my feet, came down the stairs and got something to eat.

It's an honour cut – I mean oh what a sight. Nip it in the bud.  Before it comes alive. All covered in blood, don't apologise. Yeah we'll keep in touch, maybe for a while.

And you're opening your eyes – your body too.
As you slip into the water – very cool.
Tell me all about your violent past.
A generation of entitled animals.

You're being more than nice.  The confirmation I was right. I must admit – the other time... Ah! it's pouring in, the autumn light. 

Brighter, your family is getting smaller. An hour sees you growing whiter, there's something moving in the water.. and I was standing mortified

And you're opening your eyes – your body too.
As you slip into the water – very cool.
Tell me all about your violent past.
A generation of entitled animals.

Huh you can't be this entitled, don't wanna miss your ride home. I'm'a lay it on.

And you're opening your eyes – your body too.
As you slip into the water – very cool.
Tell me all about your violent past.
A generation of entitled animals.

Eating my salad, Ooh I'm medicating on the top. I predict there come a time when I miss you – an irrational and final animal.

-------------------------------------
Why Bother is an unearthed, long-forgotten, and previously unreleased album that was due to see the light-of-day some years ago, by The Sticks; a Brighton institution.

A rarely spotted, but much-loved group which shares members with The Pheromoans and King Alfred Man of Leisure. They are a stripped-down garage party band, they bash drums, sway on the bass and claw at guitar - often swapping over instruments between songs live - and yelp with melodic abandon and delight. The Sticks were once dubbed as 'semi-amateur', this may be true. With cheap, unreliable equipment they manage to tease out a cacophony of crashing drums and raucous guitar melodies.

The key elements of the trio's sound are undoubtedly drawn from the rudimentary ideas found in the more inept efforts of mid-sixties teen bands such as The Chimney Sweeps and The Keggs. They then take a touch of The Raincoats, and finally dribble some comparisons with modern (ish) day equivalents The Black Lips, The Coachwhips or The Hospitals.
