Hugh Cornwell - The Big Sleep lyrics

Your rating:


Point your suit at me and take my breath away

Better in black and white and chrome I have to say Now the big sleep

You play the hero and the villain every day

Equally charming in an unassuming way

See the girls weep

And now you've said goodbye a million hearts are sad

We were there with you Bob so were my mum and dad

Now the big sleep



Suits and swimming trunks and clergy you don't care

Every one of them is scary we beware

I like Cape Fear

You're out of place in some but you lift them from the mire

Better in the heat to watch your pecs perspire

Then there was Angel Face

And when you leave a scene a thousand footsteps fall

Can't wait to see you back and walking very tall

Before the big sleep



Now sleep ...



No-one around like you and Jimmy stuart anymore

I'd like to don my suit and even up the score

And try to take over

Painted ladies ain't so glamorous today

Please take me back to 1941 today

Before Pearl Harbour

You've had some trials and tribulations just the same

You have to laugh a lot to stay ahead of the game

Before the big sleep



Now sleep ...
