Based first on the keyboards and then a drum line, this track never caught on with fans. It's an interesting piece, though- the lyrics take the perspective of parents watching over their son. Melatonin is a hormone produced by the body to regulate sleeping and waking cycles, but its production decreases with age. A hormone supplement has now been formulated that compensates for this decrease.

A very slow, mellow track. There only seems to be drums and keyboards. Many fans dislike this track, or at least don't rate it highly. Thom has said in interviews when questioned about its quality, that he likes this one a lot.

Don't forget that you are our son
Now go back to bed
We just know that you'll do well
You won't come to harm
Death to all who stand in your way
Wake now dear
