"Letting the Cables Sleep" is the third and final single from British post grunge band Bush's third studio album "The Science of Things", which was released in 1999. The song became a minor hit, and pushed the semi-failing album to platinum status. The song was a bigger hit than its predecessor "Warm Machine", but not nearly as successful as the first single from the album, "The Chemicals Between Us." The song is often considered Bush's last hit, as the singles released from the band's fourth album "Golden State" did not chart with much success and the band subsequently called it quits.
