Song of the Moment: Lightning Bolt

[harmless]

My attempt at the lyrics w/ the studio version leak.

she come on like a stone
but you don't know where from she was thrown
like a burning meteor
from miles high

looking for a place to land
She said have you got yourself some sand
And whatever you replied she took as yes

Now she comes after me
With her new replanted seeds
soon you're thrown down on your knees
And then you dig (dead?)

And then before you know
the weeds are obesely overgrown
With the all the wild seeds she sows
in your sleep

you gotta know you'll never let her go
she's a lightning bolt
lightning bolt
lightning bolt

Always something and never nothing
isn't that the way we're taught to be, to be
flipping through the worn out pages
stages when you knew not who to be
until the lightning strike sets you free

you gotta know you'll never let her go
She's a lightning bolt
lightning bolt
lightning bolt

crashing stormy waves
erode her shoreline every day
until the castle of her ways turns to sand

she holds her love in breast (????)
as her words fall from (????????)
flying tragically northwest (????????)

And with no repair in sight there is
No God with such might
As you open her world wide with such a view
And your death will soon arrive
As she finally decides
That all her problems, they won’t die with you

never let her go
Shes your lightning bolt
never let her go

she's your rock and roll
she's a lightning bolt
uncontrollable
like you

LIGHTING BOLTTTT HEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH ( band starts to jam )...FADE OUT

FUCK YOU!

[BurtReynolds]

Unlike for many here, this one took a dive for me once I heard the studio version. I hate (what I assume to be) its "BoB-isms". Piano... lasers... I said it was a better version UK, but now I think its pretty annoying.

[stip]

i was worried because I liked those guitar parts in the live version but I think the swirling excess of the end really culminates into something pretty great

[Lounge Lizard]

Initially a basher I did a full 180 once I heard the studio version. So much better.

[LetMeSleep]

I prefer Unthought Known to this. I know, right.

They'd go together well on a playlist, but they don't take each others place

Quite a few people have compared them so I thought I'd throw my preference in the mix. It does feel like a comparison of Green Disease and Big Wave though.

I always thought Green Desease borrowed its riff from MFC and fucking raped and left to die.

A couple things I think I'm hearing slightly differently:


she come on like a stone
but you don't know where from she was thrown
like a burning meteor
from miles high

looking for a place to land
She said have you got yourself some sand
And whatever you replied she took as yes

Now she comes after me
With her newly planted seeds
soon you're thrown down on your knees
And then you dig --------- I think this is definitely dig as apposed to dead

And then before you know
the weeds are obesely overgrown
With the all the wild seeds she sows
in your sleep

you gotta know you'll never let her go
she's a lightning bolt
lightning bolt
lightning bolt

Always something and never nothing
isn't that the way we're taught to be, to be ---------- I wish this line was "taught to dream, to be" but you have it right
flipping through the worn out pages
stages when you knew not who to be
until the lightning strike sets you free

you gotta know you'll never let her go
She's a lightning bolt
lightning bolt
lightning bolt

crashing stormy waves
he rode her shoreline every day
until the castle of her ways turns to sand

she holds her love in breast
as her words fall from the vest
flying tragically northwest (yeah, yeah, yeah)

And with no repair in sight there is
No God with such might
As you open her world wide with such a view
And your death will soon arrive
As she finally decides
That all her problems, they won’t die with you

never let her go
Shes your lightning bolt
never let her go
She's true

she's your rock and roll
she's a lightning bolt
uncontrollable
like you

[stip]

I think it is bird and nest at the end. Not words and vest

[Lounge Lizard]

crashing stormy waves
he rode her shoreline every day
until the castle of her ways turns to sand

I think it's ”Crashing stormy waves erode her shoreline everyday"

[dimejinky99]

This one could go either way. I think once the excitement has passed, the shine will quickly rub off Lightning bolt the song, or it'll become a huge favourite.
Of all these songs, it's the one with the most ancestry, at the same time it's very Pj by numbers. So the Q editor is right in a way. Hope it has a lot of longevity.

"flying towards the great northwest something something"

I prefer Unthought Known to this. I know, right.

They'd go together well on a playlist, but they don't take each others place

Quite a few people have compared them so I thought I'd throw my preference in the mix. It does feel like a comparison of Green Disease and Big Wave though.

I always thought Green Desease borrowed its riff from MFC and fucking raped and left to die.

This band has been ripping off other bands' songs, and their own earlier songs, since the year dot. I think fans are probably only just realising it. For some reason they used to be fine with it and they're not now.

[stupidmop]

Yeah this song lost a star. womp.

Not For You stole its riff from Even Flow, stripped it down and slowed the tempo.
Getaway stole the vocal part from Johnny Guitar but took it further.
Lightning Bolt stole the first two chords of the chorus from The Fixer.
Cold Confession stole the first four notes of the vocal melody from Shine On You Crazy Diamond...
Animal lent its riff to Vicarious
