about
I’m away on me hollibobs, so this here tune is recorded WITHOUT THE USE OF A MICROPHONE. Well, I did use a microphone, but using the one in my macbook hardly counts really.
It started off being a lullaby but it may have strayed a little from that. Ah well…
It started off being a lullaby but it may have strayed a little from that. Ah well…
lyrics
Sleepyhead,
What’s going round in your head?
Animals and pretty bowls,
Adventures and seismic events.
Go to sleep,
Try not to weep,
Try not to think too much about,
The mountains you’ll climb
When you’re big.
Though your father doesn’t want you to yet,
And your mother doesn’t want you to … yet.
Excellent,
You’ve managed to,
Turn yourself arse over tit,
Again,
I think you’ll grow up to be an architect.
Sleepyhead,
You’re better off in bed,
At your age you’re likely,
To conquer the empire,
That’s just beyond your fingertips.
Though your father doesn’t want you to yet,
And your mother doesn’t want you to … yet.
What’s going round in your head?
Animals and pretty bowls,
Adventures and seismic events.
Go to sleep,
Try not to weep,
Try not to think too much about,
The mountains you’ll climb
When you’re big.
Though your father doesn’t want you to yet,
And your mother doesn’t want you to … yet.
Excellent,
You’ve managed to,
Turn yourself arse over tit,
Again,
I think you’ll grow up to be an architect.
Sleepyhead,
You’re better off in bed,
At your age you’re likely,
To conquer the empire,
That’s just beyond your fingertips.
Though your father doesn’t want you to yet,
And your mother doesn’t want you to … yet.

Notes From The Wonderground
by The Reflection BoxIrish singer-songwriter Sarah E. Cullen bares her heart over pastoral folk arrangements enshrouded in a dream-pop haze.
go to album -
Erudite chamber pop that hearkens back to the elegant and experimental production of the 1960s, swinging from melancholia to playfulness.
