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
