slightly changed from this [[Media:song for when you ought to be sleeping.mp3|initial version]]. I tried to get another rhyme by swapping short/long with long/brief. The background is my guitar through tremolo, delay, octave, and a bit crushing pedal. Not sure its an improvement, but it'll do for now.

song for when you ought to be sleeping


Lyrics

oh let's go to sleep
for we're not doing anything
we're not remembering what we're reading this evening

oh the day's grown long 
and this night it's so brief
we're at our best when we are rested let's undress and go to sleep
