She had hair like Jeannie Shipton back in 1965
She had legs that never ended
I was halfway paralyzed.
She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal
If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul.
Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep,
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep.
Well she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band
And she stood just like Bill Wyman
Now I am her biggest fan.
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them.
Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep,
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep.
Got your number form a friend of mine who lives in your home town.
Called you up to have a drink,
Your roommate said you weren't around.
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've just got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them.

Pop-n-roll doesn't get any better, plus the song is about being obsessed with Chrissie Hynde. How cool is that?
Umm... you're wrong. The song is about The Bristols bassist Kim Ernst.

Pat was a good friend. I played bass and sang harmony vocals at one of his Memorial Day concerts at his home in Scotch Plains, NJ and also at one of his birthday house concerts. Was also his roadie at a concert in Maryland. Truly brilliant songwriter and great guy. He had a passion for The Beatles. The Smithereens released two albums of Beatles covers. Shame to lose him so early. Their catalog is well worth exploring. Essential Rock & Roll. They continue to tour with notable guest vocalists. Jim Babjak kills it on lead Telecaster.
Thay Thmithereenth again :D
One of the coolest bands to ever pick up a guitar. Very much like Jason and The Scorchers.
Such a great song. RIP Pat.
perfect antidote for the childlike folk stuff....thank you.
I did live audio production for them at the gymnasium at Muskingum College, right after this album was released. GREAT SHOW!!!
One lyric he did not mumble was "Jeannie Shrimpton", a lovely model in the 1960's. Help The Smithereens honor her by correcting the spelling of her last name.
I have nothing to add other than I gave this a 10, its a fantastic track.

I've come to realize that even though I always bop around and try to sing along every time it plays, I only remember half the words to this song, and have to mumble a lot.

Opened for these guys at Maxwell's in Hoboken around 1985. Great times!

Sick as a dog today, so I'm taking refuge behind antibiotics and the Wall of Sleep.
Saw the incomparable Smithereens at Vancouver's Fabulous Commodore Ballroom in the early 90's. We referred to the concert as "the band that wouldn't die".....it was a 3 hour plus show! I was running out of beer money!
RIP Pat. You were rock'n'roll. Thank you for playing your guitar on my head in New Haven all those years ago... ;-)

With that trifecta of Ball and Chain, Behind the Wall of Sleep and Slave to Love, you brought a time in the early 90s back to me fully formed, living and breathing here in my kitchen. I'm wondering if you realize what effect some of your combinations have on people. I stand here slayed by memories. Been listening for 10+ years, been donating, yet never commented until now. Thank you for creating the playlist of our lives.
Pat Dinizio is a true Rock and Roll craftsman.
If I had to draw a list of songs most representative of the genre of rock and roll, this track would be on it. Every classic element of r & r is here in spades. Dynamite.

The one has great nostalgia value for me, cause my band used to play it. We broke up in 1991. I still miss it.
I've just seen the following post on the official Smithereens Facebook page:
"The Smithereens’ Pat Dinizio on the real-life character in the hit Behind The Wall Of Sleep:
“There was a girl named Kim who played bass in a Boston group called The Bristols. At the time, our own band had been together for five years without any inkling of success. We had a bunch of EPs – the second one, Beauty And Sadness, got 3.5 stars in Rolling Stone – yet we still couldn’t get a record deal. So I started doing ads for concert promotion at Irving Plaza, wrote press releases for Epic Records, a subsidiary of Columbia Sony , did sound and lights at Folk City in New York, and managed and produced bands. I went up to Boston to mix a record. We’d done a gig with The Bristols, four fabulous women who looked, sounded and dressed like Roger McGuinn’s The Byrds. Kim had black hair, really long: “She looked like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965, she had legs that never ended, I was halfway paralyzed. She was tall and cool and pretty, and she dressed as black as coal. If she asked me to I’d murder, I would gladly lose my soul.” Our first two hits were Blood And Roses, about suicide, and this one, “if you’d ask me to I’d murder” – very dark material .”

aaaah..the 80s cruising the Sunset Strip, Smithereens playing loudly with the T-Tops off.
Turn it up, babes!

Well, from Social Distortion to the Smithereens, its a "way-back machine" hit to my personal music collection.

These guys were great
Anyone heard about an Australian group from the 90's named "The Chevelles"? Because they sound quite similar to this (obviously, this came first)

A soundtrack tune to my life in the late 1980s. Lots of money, booze, cocaine, and women. Yeehaah!
Great, fun band! Saw 'em in NYC years ago, really a blast!

I enjoy Smithereens once in a while. They don't have much variation, but I do like them loud here and there. Will the wall of sleep protect me from the doldrums of awakeness? Just curious.

Just a really good, straight forward rock and roll band who in my estimation is one of the most underrated bands of the 80's, no question!
I was the first person to play them on the radio back in 1980 at WRSU FM (Rutgers Radio).
Great live band, and a great bunch of guys.
Bill: CHeck out Dennis Diken's solo record (the drummer) with Bell Sound.

Behind the wall of sleep is just one of their hits; it's ok, but what's really the good stuff is Blow Up and 11.
Try those two CD's in your car. They drive absolutely great. Two of my favorites for driving.
In my opinion, those two CD's are perfect from start to finish while the others are uneven. Those 2 CD's simply rock, nothing too fancy, but clever enough songwriting and lyrics and played just right to rock, no flaws. If you like those two, the third one I'd get is God Save the Smithereens, not as good in the car or in general, but still overall a decent CD.

A playlist favorite from my days as a DJ at an underground radio station in a seedy part of downtown Los Angeles. ^..^~
classic rp-sad,sweet,spooky/low rent urban desperate
The Smithereens and Morphine captured an urban, gritty sound, more than any other bands of their time. They really have held up well over the decades.

Have seen them live a few times, great! One time though saw them at small bar in Northern Virginia called The State, was right up front to the stage. I had a rough week and a few drinks that night and just got in a zone. I really wasnt bored but just everything added up I was exhausted. Anyways, I guess I had actually closed my eyes for a bit and when I opened them the lead singer was on top of me just staring down at me. I was so damn embarrased and felt bad since I love these guys. Anyways, got a caffeine boost and made it through the show but I will always remember opening my eyes to a very pissed off looking lead singer, man forget his name.

Chrissie used to wear her hair in a lot of different styles, and a lot longer. She was a part of the punk scene in London, during the late 70s. Great song.

Straight-up, right down the middle, no fluff. Just about the perfect rock and roll pop tune. A solid 8.
