'Emma's House' and 'When You Sleep' (3:38) performed by indie pop band The Field Mice. The first two songs on the 7" extended play, or so I believe, I only own the CD, and I'm just trying to be clever with all the original details. Two twee gems in one, enjoy! Taken from the single, 'EMMA'S HOUSE' (1988). LISTEN LOUD.

Bobby Wratten - vocals & guitar. Michael Hiscock - bass. Haven't a clue - drums.

(SARAH 012)

Early morning by the harbour
the clouds above form one sheet that's grey
Early morning by the harbour
Where you are
Where you now are
You have nothing to live up to
You have nothing to live down
Emma's house is empty
so why do I call it Emma's house?

Five to six that's what the time is
the cold cuts through my shirt of cotton made
Five to six that's what the time is
Where you are
Where you now are
You have nothing to live up to
You have nothing to live down
Emma's house is empty
so why do I call it Emma's house?

Where you are
Where you now are
You have nothing to live up to
You have nothing to live down
Emma's house is empty
so why do I call it Emma's house?


WHEN YOU SLEEP

When you sleep
I listen to you breathing
When you sleep
I listen as the air
Leaves you

I can't help feeling
It cannot last
I can't help feeling
You will break my heart
Break my heart

Where is that
Chaos that usually
Flows from me
Is usually
Part of me
Part of me

I can't help feeling
It cannot last
I can't help feeling
You will break my heart
Break my heart

I could listen to you
Breathing too deep
Forever
Forever
On account of you
I am able to
Forget how
Painful
I felt

With you

I can't help feeling
It cannot last
I can't help feeling
You will break my heart
