‘We are the Sleepyheads’ was originally written by Stuart Murdoch back in 1995 prior to the formation of Belle and Sebastian, under the working title ‘Evangelical’.
Tired like the beggar with the cold inside his bones
Looking for the pleasure that he knew was so far gone
So far gone
I took a turn to myself
And I was surprised 'cause I saw everyone who ever I had loved
I felt a whole lot better after that
People look at us and they think were doing fine
People look at us 'cause they see us all the time
All the time
But they never take to us
We've been in this town so long we may as well be dead
So long as people turn their heads
And cross the street whenever we walk on by
Someone told the truth when it really mattered most
The beauty of the moment is the beauty sadly lost
Sadly lost
So I went around to your house
Over tea and gin, we talked about the things we read
In Luke and John, the things he said
And now it's morning, we are the sleepyheads
We Are the Sleepyheads was written by Stuart Murdoch & Sarah Martin & Richard Colburn & Mick Cooke & Chris Geddes & Bobby Kildea & Stevie Jackson.
We Are the Sleepyheads was produced by Tony Hoffer.
