Inspired by Sons Of Thunder - Writing From The Fast Lane: A Motorcycle Anthology, compiled by Neil Bradford.
lyrics
It’s a miracle that all this docile
Strength waits behind,
One tiny lever for the pressure of my hand
Face and lips, hit by tiny flying bits, bullet like, As we crash into the wind
A cold cry, rushing, screeching past my ears, As the air careers into and either side, of my head, as it breaks, the air,
And my speed snaps
At the feast of road ahead.
My surplus emotion expressed, extravagantly on the tarred blue road ahead of me
And after a long day of restraint,
Soon my bed would be laid down,
But before, I’ll be pulling on my breeches
And walking out that door, to my bike
A couple of kicks, and its first glad
Roar at being alive
There goes that noisy bugger again,
Someone would cry, every time,
And off I’d fly
My surplus emotion expressed extravagantly on the tarred blue road ahead of me
He’s a son of thunder (whoooah)
Lawrence of Arabia...
My surplus, emotion expressed extravagantly On the tarred blue road ahead, of me
Straight, empty and dry,
Perfectly stretched out into the evening light
With the yellow sun on my left,
Our shadow stretching out on the right
On our new road,
Our flight became bird like
He’s a son of thunder (whoooah)
Lawrence of Arabia...
