"I Need Peace"
SUBJECT: Not sure. Paranoia? Insomnia? Nervous breakdowns?
LYRICS:
close your eyes / or you'll have a lot of tears to cry / so hey now if you're
wise / you won't open up your eyes / close your ears / 'cause you don't really
want to hear / the things that give you tears / so don't open up your ears /
and if you sleep / well, you better not go too deep / 'cause bad things they
will seep / right down into your sleep / and if you wake / well, you're gonna
have a nervous break / so sleep now for goodness' sake / sleep for goodness'
sake / I need peace / I get so down / I've got these / turned up so loud / turned
up so loud
HISTORY: This song was originally titled "Close Your Eyes" when Frank and band played it during a John Peel Session in early '96. The song had some different ending lyrics back then: "Get my keys / Let's go drive round / Get some beats / Turn it so loud / Turn that soul out"...
LIVE: yes
ACOUSTIC: I don't think so
