Jez Lowe - Greek Lightning lyrics
I promised to show you Greek lightning Oh and you heart it was easily won Away from the drinking and fighting With nights in the tavern and days in the sun We could leave drunken Saturday nights, And the cold damp Wednesday sign-ons To see new skies filled with Greek lightning You promised to show me Greek lightning Oh and my heart it was easily won Your words had a way so exciting Just like they always do I should have known But time staggered on and I watched as you fell into booze Bloody bad temper and hell But you always just managed to win me with talk of Greek lightning And Dreams let you down, they just let you down But they never leave you No they never leave you At the wettest of Durham big meetings Oh how your heart it was easily won I shouted for tunes by the Beatles, Not that fat man from Athens they kept putting on But the beer got me singing to his serenade And you laughed all embarrassed in your lemonade And I told you that one day I’d light up you sky with Greek lightning Chorus x2 Many big meetings ad chances had happened Oh and my heart it was easily won My hopes have grown thin and you’ve fattened On six pints a night till your dole money’s gone And you weep drunkard’s tears all over my hand Sometimes call me a cow then you think I’m your mam And I watch as you watch for that flash in the pan of Greek lightning Chorus x2 Oh and we always make do for a week or and a day For the hot sands of Roker or Whitley Bay And we look to that high northern sky for a flash of Greek lightning Chorus x2 + Oh they never leave you, and I’ll never leave you |
