The Wild Swans - English Electric Lightning lyrics

All the kingdom's quiet now and darkness binds my way Voyagers, pilgrims, rebel angels and agents of decay In the madness of my 3am's, I'm lost without a guide There's a poisoned wave that's rising fast And I can't stem the tide... English electric lightning protected Green unpleasant land infected Vulcan bombers, cornish habors Elizabethan costume dramas Council housing, Shakespear's sonnets Turner's sunset in pools of vomit A thousand burning Ford Sierra's William Blake in cash converters All my demons come at once; my sword is at my side Tell me who will stand beside me for this fragile satellite English electric lightning protected Wilton's angels resurrected Airfix spitfires, Douglas Bader Skinheads, bulldogs, Drakes' armada Knight in armor, urban foxes Ladi Di and mods and rockers Trident submarines, Meccano Thatcher sinking the Belgrano In the madness of my 3 am's I'm lost without a guide English electric lightning protected Green unpleasant land infected Vulcan bombers, cornish habors Elizabethan costume dramas Sun reporters, New World Order Johnny Rotten, Geoffrey Chaucer Bargain Booze and Robert Wyatt Happy-slappers, Toxteth riots All the kingdom's quiet now and I can't stem the tide alone
