lyrics

there’s a highway
there’s a straight line
i could go forever
just break for new life

it’s overcast
it’s midnight
and this feels like a dividing line

is that lightning or is it thunder
or just a likening to the sound of the rain?
cause if it’s lightning i gotta wonder
if i should lie in shelter or go out anyway

there’s a freeway
there’s a bus fare
i could go forever
straight outta here

but maybe it’s long past
long drives
maybe it’s long past choosing sides

is this lightning or is it thunder
or just a likening to the sound of the rain?
cause if it’s lightning i gotta wonder
if i should lie in shelter or go out anyway

is it over?
cause i got a feeling like i could stand here forever and lose you anyway

is that lightning or is it thunder
or just a likening to the sound of the rain?
cause if it’s lightning i gotta wonder
if i should lie in shelter or go out anyway

Simple is Good
by Meursault

supported by 5 fans who also own “Lightning:Thunder”

I only picked up on Meursault recently through their brilliant album “I Will Kill Again”. Investigating their back catalogue has been an absolute pleasure. There something about Neil’s outlook and slightly off kilter way of putting songs together that is endlessly compelling. This is illustrated on the track “Simple is Good” with great lyrics “First there was nothing then there was light. Still there was nothing but now we could see it .....” underpinned by appropriately unsettling keyboards. Meursault and Neil Pennycook are national treasures! markrstirling

Better Man or Ghost
by Logan Vath

supported by 5 fans who also own “Lightning:Thunder”

An absolutely incredible album - there's just so much heart in nearly every track. I've had this album on repeat and my 4 yr old daughter loves "danger, danger" lol. Paid the $5, but here, have another $10! Haven't even got to your other album yet! Ryan Marr

The Collection (Free!)
by Black Tape For A Blue Girl

Because Sam is singular talent. Aside from that he is a lover of music and the musicians advocate. His label has been a launching pad for more bands than I can count and he just has an ear for great music. Quinn the Eskimo
