naps

Long songs are usually hit or miss, but The Catherine Wheel has always been a favorite in the long, droning category. I bought their record Chrome what seems like more than 10 years ago. I don’t know if that’s possible, but hearing Fripp just now is always like the first time -- one of those songs and one of those bands you can go months without hearing, then wonder why you don’t listen constantly. This song, like most things, seems differently charged these days.

There's a shark shaped fin
In the water of my dreams
An alligator screams from the depths there
I'd swim with you there
I'd swim with you there, yeah yeah

In the house that I use
There's a psycho on the loose
He's playing with the fuse of a bomb there
I could live with you there
I could live with you there

Bye bye long day
I need to sleep so much
You shine on me
Too much is not enough

On the sheets and pillow case
In my bed for heaven's sake
The devil's dancing until late in my head there
But I could sleep with you there
I could sleep with you there

Always
Always

Bye bye long day I need to sleep so much
Nineteen hours straight
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough

Too much is not enough
Undivide your love
Undivide your love
