  • Couldn't sleep a wink last night
    Oh how I'd love to hold you tight
    They say you have a secret life
    Made sacrifice your key to paradise
    Never mind, take the world by storm
    Just boogaloo a rhapsody divine
    Take a sweet girl just like you
    How nice if only we could bill and coo
    I may seem a fool to you for everything I say or think or do
    How could I apologies for all those lies
    The world may keeps us far apart but up in heaven, angel
    You can have my heart
    Diamonds may be your best friend
    But like laughter after tears
    I'll follow you to the end Writer/s: BRYAN FERRY

  • Ngt from Birmingham, UkThe expression, to 'Bill and coo' does not come from a movie, as is stated above. It's an old English expression meaning 'to kiss and talk quietly together'.
  • Orabidoo from BoliviaAnother songfact would be the title of the song inspired a ZX Spectrum game manufactured by Mikro-Gen in 1984. It was written around a main character, sleepless Wally Week, who in the middle of a dream has to find the key to wind his alarm clock in order to wake up for work the next morning.

    The game was also released for Commodore 64 and Amstrad.
