The sun is a light bulb

A candle's a treat

The curtains stay closed now

On my little retreat

And I'll only take medicine

If it's followed by sweets

A sickly pink liquid

That puts me to sleep

My head beats a better way

Tomorrow a better day

And I can watch TV

While I'm wrapped up in bed

And mother makes sure that

I'm watered and fed

My best from school will

Come over and stare

At me in my bubble

Of germified air

My head beats a better way

Tomorrow a better day

When I'm asleep the smoke fills me

I feel the heat

My illness leaves me

My head beats a better way

Tomorrow a better day

When I'm asleep the smoke fills me

I feel the heat

My illness leaves me

The sun is a light bulb

A candle's a treat

The curtains stay closed now

On my little retreat

But after a while

The noise from the street

Is making me wish I

Was back on my feet

The first time me and my wife saw them was in the fleece and firkin pub in Bristol in 1997 during the Signify tour. It was a life changing experience. The next time they play they could fill the 02 in London!!!

Love that you can hear the kids playing on the streets in the last verse. Really brings back memories of being stuck at home with a flu while you watch your friends pass by your house after school. Great song

This is what I love about Porcupine Tree as a band. They are true perfectionists. Both in terms of lyrical depth and musical ingenuity.

Don’t know what it is, but I’m absolutely in love with this song. It might very well be one of my favorites by them.

Amazes me Steven Wilson ability to write songs with such varied tones. I mean this is a guy who wrote "Trains" but also borderline metal songs like "Deadwing"... Just goes to show Porcupine Tree are wayyy more than just a modern prog rock band.
