about

Percussion sounds are all noises recorded around my old house, 6 Liston Drive in Derby.

lyrics

You closed the door like a gunshot and I sat bolt upright
the lightswitch sounds like a cannon in the silence of the night
Somehow sounds in the kitchen seem to pass through amplification
the microwave slowly revolving sounds like a train leaving the station

So I'm kept up late against my will
Getting an early night is like ice skating uphill
Just as I am drifting off to sleep
I am startled back awake by a floorboard creak

When I wake in the night at the slightest provocation
it starts to become a real irritation
I can close my eyes, but I can't get deeper
how did I become such a light sleeper?
