The Big Sleep
Point your suit at me and take my breath awayBetter in black and white and chrome I have to say Now the big sleepYou play the hero and the villain every dayEqually charming in an unassuming waySee the girls weepAnd now you've said goodbye a million hearts are sadWe were there with you Bob so were my mum and dadNow the big sleepSuits and swimming trunks and clergy you don't careEvery one of them is scary we bewareI like Cape FearYou're out of place in some but you lift them from the mireBetter in the heat to watch your pecs perspireThen there was Angel FaceAnd when you leave a scene a thousand footsteps fallCan't wait to see you back and walking very tallBefore the big sleepNow sleep ...No-one around like you and Jimmy stuart anymoreI'd like to don my suit and even up the scoreAnd try to take overPainted ladies ain't so glamorous todayPlease take me back to 1941 todaySongtexteBefore Pearl HarbourYou've had some trials and tribulations just the sameYou have to laugh a lot to stay ahead of the gameBefore the big sleepNow sleep ...
