John Waite - White Lightening Lyrics
When I was young
They took me to the dentist
I had a toothache
But that's okay
They gave me some time
I worked it loose
Like I used to do
One little boy in a dentist's chair
Heard a hundred angels
Flying past him
What a gas
Sitting there
The same little boy with a few more years
Took a sniff of this
A taste of that
Nothing there
And then one day he saw you walk
And heard you didn't talk
Saw the writing on the wall
It didn't thunder anymore
White lightening it's got nothing on you
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Oh it didn't shine like you Lord
White lightening way out in the blue
With a million angels singin'
Oh it didn't sound like you Lord
Come on to tell when I tell you to breathe in
I will take out everything while you're sleeping
Always refusing the heavenly music
When you awake it will have a new meaning
White lightening it's got nothing on you
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Oh it didn't shine like you Lord
White lightening way out in the blue
With a million angels singin'
Oh it didn't sound like you Lord
Come on to tell when I tell you to breathe in
I will take out everything while you're sleeping
Always refusing the heavenly music
When you awake it will have a new meaning
White lightening it's got nothing on you
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Oh it didn't shine like you Lord
White lightening way out in the blue
With a million angels singin'
Oh it didn't sound like you Lord

Love this album
One of the great, over looked Rock albums of the 70's. Head First...one of the greatest rock songs of the 70's. And I dedicated "Everytime I think of You" to my wife on our wedding day.
caught my foot and these are washouts and you won't come back
The original Billy Nicholls version is better. But this is almost identical.
This takes me back to college
That same light hit me ...long ..long time ago!
I less than earned all these scars
Wally Stockerd is my favorite guitarist. sorry I'm sure I misspelled his name. oh well
vary very very very very very very very addictive album.
Amen to every-one that get's the meaning of this song ...i got the snail message after a while?enough purple stars shooting up off my shoes????????????????/
great wicked!!! tune fuck I love this song
A Baby's classic!
This song is Masterpiece........I love it
All of their songs are. Every single one.
I love, love, love this song - it's my favorite by the Babys. Is it really a cover?
+Mama Meow Ackerman It is based off of a song by Billy Nichols but to call it a clover is a bit of a reach, most of the lyrics have been changed and the music is greatly different as well, never the less enough of the original remains to give credit to Mr. Nichols as the original writer of the song.
Very Michael corby sound and direction, Still the great days. Bad loss for original babys.
Billy Nicholls cover
+Lucas De Francesco It is based off of a song by Billy Nichols, but to call it a clover is a bit of a reach, most of the lyrics have been changed and the music is greatly different as well, never the less, enough of the original remains to give credit to Mr. Nichols as the original writer of the song.
??? This song is almost identical to the original, except a few lyrical changes (which change the gist of the song in a not so good way) at the very beginning. Even the string and vocal arrangements are the same. The Billy Nicholls version is FAR superior.
Agreed. This is an okay version, and they obviously loved the song to make an effort to do it, but who could do a better version to that unique spellbinding original? I'm glad somebody gave it a go.
such a cool song!
I will, thanks.
