Bedhead from Introvert by Patience Dear Juggernaut
One of the best lessons I've learned about songwriting I learned from listening to The Lemonheads' "It's A Shame About Ray" album.
The shorter the running time, the better. If your song goes longer than three minutes, you should start worrying.
This one's just one-minute and 45 seconds.
It was a miracle that I was able to pull off the high notes in the second verse. I was channeling RIvers Cuomo in Pinkerton--that geeky growl of his.
This song is about my problems with sleep. I usually need 8 hours or more to function like a normal person in the day. If not, I'd be running on fumes.

Lyrics
BEDHEAD
Up until three, I've been awake
Honestly, it's all a mistake
Please let me be: my pillows are waiting for me
Sleep to escape, sleep to remember
Sleep from January 'til December
Sleep is all I need, people can fuck themselves
The mattress is a good friend
Let me lie down in here for a while
For a while
Just for while
