have you ever considered that The Romantics' "Talking in Your Sleep" is the least realistic love song ever penned? I mean... all he hears is her heartbeat, she doesn't snore or fart. And she says coherent stuff in her sleep rather than rambling semi-syntax garbage like my lived experience.
when you close your eyes and you fall asleep
your snoring's only broken when you cut the cheese
when you open up your heart & the truth comes out
I got no earthly clue what you're dreaming about
when you tell me BUY TOMATO PASTE
when you tell me I GOT AMYLASE
you tell me CANINE BUS STOP
and it just don't come out all right
when you say in the night, yeah
I hear this incoherent dreck,
when you're lying in your bed
