lyrics
Boy struck by lightning
Driving home through towns
full of broken glass and rusty shopping carts,
I wind my window down,
and the radio fills the car with broken hearts.
And the news tells the story of a kid
in a thunderstorm that rolls out of the blue,
by some factory gate, where nobody waits for you.
CHORUS:
Boy struck by lightning,
lay your hands upon me now;
Boy struck by lightning,
Lay your hands upon me now.
I see him years from now,
with his grandkids hanging on his every word.
‘Everything went POW,’ he says.
‘It was the loudest thing that I have ever heard.’
Here come your fifteen minutes of fame -
make them last your whole life long.
You’re the patron saint of this housing estate from now on.
CHORUS
Because if nothing ever happens in this life,
in these ring roads and dormitory towns,
where you fly your little flag, and the world
wants to tear it down.
A gifted writer, player and producer, Matt's 'Lessons of War' is a fascinating collection of collaborations - but he has a great back catalogue, too - and new songs due soon... Anthony Toner
supported by 5 fans who also own “Boy Struck by Lightning”
