Nightbus Sleepers

As another evening ends late night tailgates day break

Friends, mates and jailbait wait to relocate

As two drunk girls gyrate it serves just to frustrate

The crowd of guys that didn’t vacate their prostate

I just observe as my headphones vibrate

It’s so serene even when they make scrapes

There’s always someone to placate the irate

And as it arrives the crowd waylays the N8

From the top deck I love this night time tour of the city

Seeing areas now vibrant where they used to be shitty

These used to be the streets of broken homes

Now everybody dressed like Paloma Faith and Ebony Bones

When housing’s cheap two types of people tend to then descend on it

First it’s rough then arty types start climbing upon it

Sometimes they mix well, sometimes these things are too phonic

More discerning with their mouths, they’ll loose a tooth or two from it

I got a lot of love for the nightbus sleepers

A world away from the drunks and the tweakers

Sat there they prove there’s still a place for the dreamers

I got a lot of love for the nightbus sleepers

I got a lot of love for the nightbus sleepers

A world away from the drunks and the tweakers

Sat there they prove there’s still a place for the dreamers

I got a lot of love for the nightbus sleepers

She seems threat-less like the butterfly on her necklace

Something sets her separate from the Homo erectus

Sleeps sweet bliss its sweep infectious

Her hands become her pillow, comfortably ambidextrous

If you can hold your head when all around you are boisterous

Or quite the opposite, late-night back-seat coitus

If you can hold your head despite the fact you ain’t conscious

Then in my eyes you are luminescent like phosphorus

So onwards sleeping beauties pay no heed to the real world

This can’t compete with the scenes your dreams meld

Seems these routines just repeat can’t be felled

Conveyor belt, in spite of sleeps cousin, it’s upheld

(Sleep)

In spite of the light the fights that might ignite

(Sleep)

Resists the itch to sit and twitch and click ya iPhone

(Sleep)

Escape this place let glass replace your pillow case

(Sleep)

Rest in peace and sleep in beauty

I got a lot of love for the nightbus sleepers

A world away from the drunks and the tweakers

Sat there they prove there’s still a place for the dreamers

I got a lot of love for the nightbus sleepers

I got a lot of love for the nightbus sleepers

A world away from the drunks and the tweakers

Sat there they prove there’s still a place for the dreamers

I got a lot of love for the nightbus sleepers
