Baby, Sleep - Maxïmo Park

It may appal you to know

But the mall is the only place I go

So much choice and restrictions

You don’t know what you’ve been missing

Same channel on my TV

The talking heads just can’t agree

What does the modern world mean to me?

My baby only sleeps when she wants to

But baby so rarely wants

My baby only sleeps when she wants to

But baby so rarely wants

He was haunted by your own reflection

But even that can’t hold your attention

Never has any complicated

Been so complicated

Basketball on my TV

My baby cradled on my knee

What does the modern world mean to me?

My baby only sleeps when she wants to

But baby so rarely wants

My baby only sleeps when she wants to

But baby so rarely wants

What are all these balloons

Doing in my front room?

What are all these balloons

Doing in my front room?

We made this stranger’s house a home

And now I’m alone in this stranger’s home

What are all these buffoons

Doing in my front room?

My baby only sleeps when she wants to

But baby so rarely wants

My baby only sleeps when she wants to

But baby so rarely wants

My baby so rarely wants

My baby only sleeps when she wants to

My baby only sleeps when she wants to

My baby only sleeps when she wants to
