Hefner - She Can't Sleep No More Lyrics

She works every morning in the greasy cafeteria
She makes little pastries and stuffs them with cheese
The coffee burns her knuckles, every time she spills it
She's alone, she's bereft

Jamey moved to Hackney in 1990
He bought in little trinkets but she turned him down
She can't sleep no more, she can't sleep no more
Since he's gone, since he's gone

She wrote clumsy poetry and he didn't read it
But he told her it was perfect and she scrunched her nose
She can't sleep no more, she can't sleep no more
Since he's gone, since he's gone

All the ambition that they'd been stirring up was flushed down the lavatory
She didn't love him but she knew he was what she needed
He started wishing it, she started dreading it, she burnt her party clothes
Now, there's nowhere to go since she burnt those party clothes

She said she didn't love him, he didn't believe it
He moved to the country and started sleeping around
She can't sleep no more, she can't sleep no more
She can't sleep no more, she can't sleep no more
Since he's gone, since he's gone, since he's gone
