about

Restlessness has been around forever. Its first appearance is on my first full album, Secrets And White Lies. This version is an absolute epic and is one of my personal favourites. Big brass, huge band performance. A lonely, sultry insomniac lyric.

lyrics

She wakes at two in the morning
Climbs silently out of bed
Avoids the creaks in the floor so as not to wake the dead
She stands naked in the kitchen
Framed in that cold and steaming light
Her brain spins like a mouse on a wheel

But neither food nor drink nor love
Can cure that endless restlessness

There's nothing but infomercials and christians on tv
So she comes and stirs me awake with her expert hands
Oh such excellent kisses, such sweet surprise
She loves me in stealth like a thief in the night

But neither food, etc.

I still hear those echoing footsteps
Clear and stark in the hallway
