ENGLISH ELECTRIC LIGHTNING
BY : Wild Swans
Intro:
All the kingdom s quiet now and darkness binds my way
Voyagers, pilgrims, rebel angels and agents of decay
In the madness of my 3am s, I m lost without a guide
There s a poisoned wave that s rising fast, And I can t stem the tide...
English electric lightning protected, Green unpleasant land infected
Vulcan bombers, cornish harbors, Elizabethan costume dramas
Council housing, Shakespear s sonnets, Turner s sunset in pools of vomit
A thousand burning Ford Sierra s, William Blake in cash converters;
(Humm X 1) â , , , , , ,
All my demons come at once; my sword is at my side
Tell me who will stand beside me for this fragile satellite
English electric lightning protected, Wilton s angels resurrected
Airfix spitfires, Douglas Bader, Skinheads, bulldogs, Drakes armada
Knight in armor, urban foxes, Ladi Di and mods and rockers
Trident submarines, Meccano, Thatcher sinking the Belgrano
(Hum) â , , , , , ,
In the madness of my 3 am s I m lost without a guide
English electric lightning protected, Green unpleasant land infected
Vulcan bombers, cornish harbors, Elizabethan costume dramas
Sun reporters, New World Order, Johnny Rotten, Geoffrey Chaucer
Bargain Booze and Robert Wyatt, Happy-slappers, Toxteth riots
(Hum â )â , , , , , ,
All the kingdom s quiet now and I can t stem the tide alone.
