Текст песни Folk Insomnia (Live) - Darren Hanlon

There's rumbling in the head again
Inside the head there lived a brain
Inside the brain there lived a dream
That shot round like a laser beam
Along nerve endings and synapses
Past the room for memory lapses
Brought about by alcohol
That causes all the cell collapses

Now that dream's not the only one
I had plenty more when I was young
But I grew up in a big hurry
And then one day I start to worry
That I'm gonna be a goner
Before I read all the books I wanna
If I plant a tree now, it'll be fully grown
Long after I'm just dust and bone
And now I can't sleep it's already 3am
And I'm lying here dividing sheep
By the square root of ten

So I gave away my clothes to charity
I turned off my TV for clarity
But some days I still envy
Those walking around wearing my clothes

So I'll just plant a tree I'll never see grow
Put a seed in the ground where no one will know
Gonna make my plan when the morning breaks
But I just don't know how long it'll take

I keep hearing voices and ringing phones
But I'm staring down a highway all alone
With just the sound of my stomach rumble
But I feel okay, it makes me humble
Without a load that I must carry
Or a bump in the road to make me tarry
Just a pile of ashes from the miles I've burned
And everything I've learned

What have I learned?
What have I learned? Hmm

Don't walk in front of cars or behind horses
Cats don't drink milk out of flying saucers
Green means go, yellow go faster
Red means stop or financial disaster
I yodel, therefore, I am
You can't get wool from a hydraulic ram
Dust never rests, rust never sleeps
If you're kind to a dog then he's yours for keeps
Don't ever underestimate the fitness
Of the determined Jahovas Witness
And don't ever ever take for granted
What grew from every kiss you planted
If a heart can break then a heart can feel
It's to know you're alive and real
Like the rattling, bouncing little white ball
Not a number on a roulette wheel and
Hair it turns grey and skin it turns to leather
But the best thing about growing old is we all do it together

So I'll just plant a tree I'll never see grow
Put a seed in the ground where no one will know
Gonna make my plan when the morning breaks
But I just don't know how long it'll take

They say that a love that's shared is a love that's carried
All the way to the church where you'll be married
But it's a long old way down the aisle to alter and
You don't have the time to falter
But love will always come and go I hope
That sometimes love goes up in smoke
And you're left there with the greedy ghost
And just when you need them most
Some of your friends have disappeared
And others started acting wierd
And you're left on your bed with an awful feeling
'Till you've learned by heart all the cracks in the ceiling
And you think "oh my god I just related
To that awful love song I always hated!"
And the past it all becomes distorted
Like it was broke before you bought it
Just remember you're the one who paid
Pulled the pin out of the hand grenade
And it's up to you to leave your room
But don't forget to bring your spade

So you can plant a tree you'll never see grow
Put a seed in the ground where no one will know
Gonna make my plan forever to roam
Gonna feed my nan in the nursing home
Gonna make that plan when the morning breaks
But I just don't know how long it'll take
