Song | English Electric Lightning |
Artist | The Wild Swans |
Album | The Coldest Winter For A Hundred Years |
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 habors | |
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 | |
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 | |
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 habors | |
Elizabethan costume dramas | |
Sun reporters, New World Order | |
Johnny Rotten, Geoffrey Chaucer | |
Bargain Booze and Robert Wyatt | |

All the kingdom's quiet now and I can't stem the tide alone. | |

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... | |
