Sleepless Night
John Lennon · Lennon - Signature Box [2010]
The moon is bright
All I'm asking for is
Three minute love
Legs
What am I going to do with my legs
They're so hot
They won't stay on the cot
And they're screaming!
Sleepless night
The moon is bright
All I'm asking for is
Three minute love
Head
What am I going to do with my head
It's so light
It just gives me the fright
It's full of champagne and dreams
Sleepless night
All um umm
All I'm asking for is
Three minute love
This brush must sell like crazy
I mean there's a lot of lonely people out there
I wanna go to the ball
I wanna give it all
I'll take it all
Sleepless night
All I'm asking for is...
What am I asking for?
Sleepless Night
Sleepless Night stands as a poignant song in John Lennon's extensive post-Beatles catalogue, reflecting the introspective mood that often characterized his solo work. Recorded during a period of significant personal and creative flux, the track captures Lennon's signature blend of raw emotion and melodic simplicity. While not one of his most commercially ubiquitous singles, the song offers a glimpse into the artist's ability to convey vulnerability through understated arrangements. It fits comfortably within the broader scope of his discography, showcasing the intimate songwriting style that defined much of his later output. The recording remains a testament to Lennon's enduring influence on rock music, inviting listeners to explore the quieter, more contemplative moments of his artistic journey.
