Formed by singer Katie Jane Garside and guitarist Crispin Gray, they had previously collaborated in the celebrated but short-lived band Daisy Chainsaw. Garside and Gray did not cross paths again until 1999 when they formed Queen Adreena. An album, Taxidermy, soon followed in 2000. Pete Howard, the last drummer to play with The Clash, joined just before the band signed with Rough Trade for their second album, 2002’s Drink Me, featuring the lead single "Pretty Like Drugs." Queen Adreena toured extensively in the UK and Europe. Their third album was released in 2005: The Butcher and the Butterfly.
Ride a Cock Horse, an album of mostly unreleased material from the Taxidermy era, was only available from MySpace www.myspace.com/queenadreenafrance in 2007.
In 2008, Queen Adreena released their final album Djin in Japan with a UK release the following year. They disbanded in 2009 due to Katie Jane Garside pursuing other projects.
Sleepwalking
Queen Adreena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did I get it quite right?
Broken got broke,
Was it good to smoke?
I am not sure,
Was it good to sing?
Was it right to love?
Was it wrong this turning that I took?
Do I look alright?
I spent all night getting it right.
So you would love me more,
So you would love me more.
Pray for your indecision girl,
Run from your indecision girl,
Hide from your indecision girl.
Somnambulation up and down the road,
I lay in the garden with the cats,
Oh my how the grass did grow,
I watch the clock till the day did stop.
I pray for my lovers return,
I spent all night getting it right.
So you would love me more,
So you would love me more.
Pray for your indecision girl,
Burn for your indecision girl,
Blind from your indecision girl.
The lyrics to Queen Adreena's song Sleepwalking are filled with whimsical and trippy imagery that create a sense of dream-like confusion and uncertainty. The singer seems to be reflecting on their choices and actions, questioning whether they were the right ones or not. The opening line, "Trippy little Popsicle cod, did I get it quite right?" sets the tone for the rest of the song - a mixture of nonsensical phrases and deep contemplation.
The repetition of the phrase "I spent all night getting it right" suggests a sense of obsession or desperation to please someone else, perhaps a lover. The lines "So you would love me more, pray for your indecision girl" reinforce this idea of trying to win someone's affection by catering to their every whim. The singer wants to be loved more, but seems unsure of how to achieve this.
The use of the term "somnambulation" (sleepwalking) adds to the dream-like quality of the lyrics, as does the image of laying in a garden with cats and watching the grass grow. The repeated refrain of "hide from your indecision girl" and "blind from your indecision girl" suggest a fear of making the wrong choices and a desire to escape responsibility for one's own actions.
Overall, Sleepwalking is a haunting and ethereal song that captures the feeling of being lost and uncertain in a relationship. The lyrics suggest a yearning for love and acceptance, but a fear of making mistakes and being judged for them.

What does she mean in the first line of the lyrics: "Trippy little Popsicle cod" - is cod a fish or some kind of abbreviations?
I'm sorry, I'm just not a native English speaker, but the music is dope
