This song is really getting to me...
Need LOTS of help trying to understand the lyrics... It is a wild ride, for sure...  I'm finding it quite exceptional!!!Sleepwalking by Paolo Nutini First performed at Telluride Bluegrass Festival 2008, Telluride, Colorado I don't know this crap I'm talking I must be sleepwalking I must be sleepwalking I can/can't? feel the fire I'm breathing Running around you like a heathen I must be sleepwalking I must be sleepwalking This glass is cloudy??? And this cigarette is drunk??? When we are talking You would think you'd shake me off But you keep knocking??? Aw, am I sleepwalking My son come 'round to meet me??? (*I'm lost here, just a big guess...) And I ???.............with all things on their mind Like little houses????......neat spaces?...........??? And I start...off? walkin' ???? My feet start knocking This glass is cloudy And this cigarette is drunk When we are talking you would think my life was jumpin'??? 'Stead it's rockin'??? And I'll keep a'walkin'??? Oh, Sandra, yeah ??? You ain't got nothin' more on me??? Oh, help me Sandra??? yeah...????????????? Oh, I don't know this crap I'm talkin' I must be sleepwalking I must be sleepwalking I can/can't feel that/the fire I'm breathing Running around you like a heathen I must be sleepwalking I must be sleepwalking This glass is cloudy And this cigarette is drunk When we are talking You would of thought you'd shook me off ya??? But you keep knocking??????? And I'll keep walking Help me Sandra ?????????????? ...well darlin' never call the police??? Help me Sandra ????????????? Oh, I got you to ???????? jumping??? I must be sleepwalking I must be sleepwalking I must be sleepwalking Believe me??????????????? Believe me Jesus?? Well, I give up for now... Looking for input, please?  This message has been edited.

I was hoping someone would have something to add...
This song is so surreal, and uninhibited fun... The speed, the wild instrumentation, Paolo's atttitude... It's just crazy fun!!! I want to understand all of the lyrics, though... Paolo, where are you??? I wish you could help me here??? The great sense of passing through... |

Try this on for size:
I don't know this crap I'm talking I must be sleepwalking I must be sleepwalking I can feel the fire I'm breathing Running around you like a heathen I must be sleepwalking I must be sleepwalking This glass is cloudy And this cigarette is drunk When we are talking You’d think you'd shake me off But you keep knocking Aw, am I sleepwalking Some come 'round the main street And I’ve bought all types and kinds, with all things on their mind When I drive the main (mean) street I stop from walking – or I start _ _?ing My feet start knocking This glass is cloudy And this cigarette is drunk When we are talking you would think my life was done Instead it's rockin' And I'll keep walking Oh, these damn drugs You ain't got nothin' more on me Oh, these damn drugs Oh, I don't know this crap I'm talkin' I must be sleepwalking I must be sleepwalking I can feel the fire I'm breathing Running around you like a heathen I must be sleepwalking I must be sleepwalking This glass is cloudy And this cigarette is drunk The way I’m talking you would of thought you'd shook me off But you keep knocking And I’m sleepwalking Oh, these damn drugs You ain't got nothin' more on me Oh, these damn drugs I must be sleepwalking I must be sleepwalking I must be sleepwalking Leave me be Leave me be |

So very cool!!! I'm hearing different things now, but still some of the same... This following line I thought I'd never get anything sensible out of it: "And I’ve bought all types and kinds, with all things on their mind" And I did not hear anyting to do with drugs at all... LOL  Only "Sandra." I still hear the Sandra lines / then the damn drugs lines... It goes back and forth in my mind...I need to go over it a little bit more... The drugs would fit more and make sense with this song... I've got a lot going on today... so can't spend too much time on this at the moment... But I'm so very glad you posted your version... thanks for the help... I'll get back to this later when I can... I like the energy in this song and want to understand it!The great sense of passing through... |

That was so funny! I think Joe Cocker may have improved... He does a cover of U2's "One" that is great!!! The great sense of passing through... |

Still loving this song... I believe it was the first of Paolo's new songs that I heard from the Telluride KOTO stream... What a nightmare that was trying to get my player to pick it up! I didn't get in until he was singing "Last Request."
I still laugh at myself when I think about not hearing anything about drugs in the song!  Still not sure just what all he's saying... About a drug crazed individual on some kind if wild trip??? Maybe I should be ashamed of myself for finding the song "fun?"  The great sense of passing through... |
