Lightning bolt - Jake Bugg
Af en toe eens luisteren naar Pinguinradio.nl (de opvolger van Kink FM) leidt soms tot mooie verrassingen. Zo ontdekte ik er deze Jake Bugg, die een beetje klinkt als een Engelse Daniel Johnston, én als de vroege Beatles. Dit singletje is erg aanstekelijk, en verdient ook bij ons grijsgedraaid te worden...
Dit nummer staat op zijn titelloze debuutplaat, die je hier kan kopen. Je kan er ook het nummer Saffron (mp3) gratis downloaden.
Lyrics:
Morning, it’s another pure grey morning
Don’t know what the day is holding
When I get uptight
And I walk right into the path of a lightning bolt
Sirens of an ambulance comes howling
Right through the centre of town and
No one blinks an eye
And I look up to the sky in the path of a lighting bolt
Met her as the angels parted for her
But she only brought me touture
But that’s what happens
When it’s you who’s standing in the path of a ligthning bolt
Everyone I see just wants to walk with gritted teeth
But I just stand by and I wait my time
They say you gotta tow the line they want the water not the wine
But when I see the signs I jump on that lightning bolt
Chances, people tell you not to take chances
When they tell you there aren’t any answers
And I was starting to agree
But I awoke suddenly in the path of a lightning bolt
Fortune, people talking all about fortune
Do you make it or does it just call you.
In the blinking of an eye
Just another passerby in the path of a lightning bolt
Everyone I see just wants to walk with gritted teeth
But I just stand by and I wait my time
They say you gotta tow the line they want the water not the wine
But when I see the signs I jump on that lightning bolt
It was silent, I was lying back gazing skyward
When the moment got shattered
I remembered what she said
And then she fled in the path of a lightning bolt
