"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
