i thought about that one but can't get out of bed because about to die is a little different.

Lavator Shemmelpennick, Thursday, 26 May 2022 15:20 (one year ago) link

what about

Grouper-Heavy Water/I’d Rather Be Sleeping

we need outrage! we need dicks!! (the table is the table), Thursday, 26 May 2022 21:04 (one year ago) link

I feel like the Grouper song isn’t really about being worn out or not being able to get out of bed, it’s about fear of falling in love.

I might be wrong lol, I think it qualifies either way

✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 27 May 2022 02:00 (one year ago) link

Good list, Moka. "Nobody's Empire" was the first to come to mind. Also "Too Much Sleep" by Bongwater.
