15. James – Sit Down (1991)
I’ll sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour
Secrets I can’t keep inside of the day
Swing from high to deep
“Sit Down” is about the use of sit-ins as a form of protest.
According to Tim Booth in a 2014 interview to The Guardian: „The opening line (…) refers to my insomnia. I was writing at 2-3am. Music can aid sleep by helping to relax: lullabies and gentle rhythms are known to help babies to fall asleep.“
