This text is based on the song "Insomnia" by Faithless. I don't know how much it is known. I'll add 
the original text at the end of the mail to compare. Klenginem didn't give me an english translation yet, 
but it's close to the original. Enjoy, others will follow.

Deep in the buzzem of the gentle night,
Is where I search for the light Pick up my pen and start to write,
I struggle a fight, dark forces in the clear moonlight 
without fear, Insomniya.
... I can't get no sleep.

I used to worry, thought I was going mad in a hurry
Get in stress, make in excess mess in darkness. 
No electricity, Something's all over me, 
greasy. Insomnia please release me, and let me 
dream of making mad love to my girl on the heath,
Tearing off tights with my teeth. But there's 
no release, no peace, I toss and turn without cease.
Like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast.
At least a couple of weeks since I last slept kept 
taking sleepers But now I keep myself pep
Deeper still The night I write by candle light
I find in sight Fundamental movement. - Hm
So when it's black this insomnia, take an original tack,
Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack.
I gets no sleep
I can't get no sleep.
