"Sleep Tonight" — Dirty Work (1986). Keith Richards sings a beautiful, aching closer on the band's most troubled album.
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
You better get some sleep tonight
You better get some sleep tonight
Honey, just warn your friends
You better get some sleep tonight
You always watch the sun go down
The same old shadows crawl over town
Those thoughts of you it shivvers me
The moon grows cold in memory
Baby you better get some sleep tonight
All you got to do is close your eyes
You better get some sleep tonight
I wish you baby, all the best
If you turn out like all the rest
This darkness baby, it's chilling me
Stars store down in sympathy
Baby you better get some sleep tonight
All you got to do is close your eyes
Baby you better get some sleep tonight
You better get some sleep tonight
You better get some sleep tonight
Warn all your friends
You better keep them out of sight
You better get some sleep tonight
They robbed you of your dignity
They even steal your heart from me
It ain't revenge, you understand
Baby I just want to know who dealth this hand
Baby, ah that's alright
Baby you better get some sleep tonight
All you got to do is close your eyes
Baby you better get some sleep tonight
You better get some sleep tonight
You better get some sleep tonight
Знаете ли вы, что...
- From Dirty Work (1986). Keith Richards sings lead. One of the most genuinely touching things on an album recorded under enormous internal strain. Richards' most vulnerable vocal performance of the decade.
