Sleep, baby sleep

With Baby Sunshine now growing bigger by the hour and the previous more pure aggression seem to be replaced by more cunning and calculated attacks of crying and misbehaviour. So as a preemptive strike, I have now gradually started introducing lullabies to pacify her when required, something which seem to be working reasonably well so far.

My plan is to use the Fad Gadget song "Sleep" (listen to it on youtube here, great song) as the primary lullaby over the coming years. The lyrics are:

Sleep, baby, sleep
Daddy's out to earn your keep
Sleep, baby, sleep
Mama's sad, hear her weep

Watching over you tonight
I get the feeling that life's alright
You can laugh aloud at those middle-aged fakes
Well I hope you don't make the same mistakes as me

Don't you do as I do, do as I say

Sleep, baby, sleep
Mama's out to earn your keep
Sleep, baby, sleep
Daddy's mad, hear him creep
Watching over you tonightI get the feeling that life's alright
You can laugh aloud at those middle-aged fakes
Well I hope you don't make the same mistakes as me

Don't you do as I do, do as I say

Sleep, baby, sleep

She also seemed to enjoy "Chinese Black" by the Neon Judgement for some reason...
