Let Sleeping Dogs Lie - ’88 Demo

I've been standing in the street
Trying to look lonely
I've been standing in the wilderness
Trying to look wild

I've been acting like a rebel
Trying to get angry
I've been trying to pretend
That I'm not a child

It's been such a long time
Since I walked in the sunshine
It's been such a long time
Since I walked in the snow

And it seems like years
Since it's been any different
Yes, it seems like years
But I don't really know

I don't want to talk now
I don't need a crowd
Well you don't need to worry
I like beaches in the winter
When there's no one around

I've been standing in the garden
Trying to look homely
I've been looking at your windows
See if your curtains move

I've been running by the river
To see how the water flows
I've nothing to lose
Everything to prove

It's like going to the park
When there's nothing to speak of
It's like going to the shops
When there's nothing to buy

It's like running for a bus
When there's no where to go to
It's like raising hell
When you should let those sleeping dogs lie

I don't want to talk now
I don't need a crowd
You don't need to worry
I like beaches in the winter
When there's no one around

I don't need to talk now
I don't want a crowd
You don't have to worry
I like beaches in the winter
When there's no one around
