Ghent-based band - earlier under the name Things to Come - who shot to the top of the Belgian scene through their victory in the 1998-edition of the Rock Rally (a "battle of the bands" contest, which they won before Fence and Chrome Yellow). The trademark Das Pop are (what else to expect with such a name) pop-melodies and a sound that's close to Blur and Britpop. As Bent van Looy, the singing and painting drummer, describes it "There's a need for pure pop in Belgium. Our music is without pretence, but has to be clever. This has to be clear both in the lyrics and the music.

Neversleeper Lyrics

Das Pop

i still feel the break of dawn
no sleep, she's still glowing
and i free the memory
always within reach
lights out
power shut
digits glow
they count the moments
she knows everything
on the floor
my room
i know
(baby i know)
only
(only this time)
this time
only
(baby i know)
just this
(only this time)
one time
and i breathe
she inhales sea breeze
i'm just breathing sportsocks
battledress on the floor
this is my room
i know
(baby i know)
only
(only this time)
this time
only
(baby i know)
just this
(only this time)
one time
neversleeper
tender strangler
i still feel the break of dawn
no sleep
she's still glowing
and i free the memory
always within reach
fast hands
sleepy hands
my hands
she knows everything
on the floor
this is my room
i know
(baby i know)
only
(only this time)
this time
only
(baby i know)
just this
(only this time)
one time.
