The Song:In order to feel more authentic, Beck filled out his Song Reader book with song fragments, melodies, made-up song titles and make-believe album collections. "When You Are Sleeping, You Know I'll Be There (In The Yard)" is part of an amusing collection of songs about stalking,
Songs You Won't Be Able To Get Away From And Otherwise Inescapable Melodies.
Beck actually wrote very short melodies to go with one line of lyrics for the six songs listed on
Inescapable Melodies.
