The Sleepy Jackson Biography

The Sleepy Jackson is an alternative rock band from Perth, Western Australia. The band's name was inspired by a former drummer who was narcoleptic. The band revolves around the distinctive vocal style of multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Luke Steele. Stemming from a musical family, Luke's father Rick Steele is a local blues musician, and two of Luke's siblings are also musicians, with brother Jesse a former member of The Sleepy Jackson (and currently performing with father Rick in The Hot Biscuit Band), and sister Katy, who fronts another Perth rock band, Little Birdy. While a series of acclaimed EPs brought The Sleepy Jackson to a broader musical attention of Australia, it was the release of their 2003 album Lovers and 2006 sophomore album Personality - One Was a Spider, One Was a Bird that directed significant international focus upon the band.

The Sleepy Jackson Lyrics

The Sleepy Jackson - I Understand What You Want But I Just Don't Agree Lyrics

Running home I look, just now
I played with colors filed as learn alone
They don't mean bad when they fooled you on the phone
Way they walked led them to dream on their own

Old dirt farmer, varsity baseball player
A Texas nomad and a fisherman
I lost my mind, it was blown in the wind
And I did all of this for you

Time's ticking, you should just get up on the side
And cheer along like
My mind's been tainted by your cunning smile
And your bright side down low
