Super Furry Animals - Northern Lites Lyrics






Born in a manger
You're getting stranger everyday
Uncertain chancer
You're sending everything astray
You're certain danger
You're a monsoon and a fire rolled in one
Got me on the run

There's a distant light (distant light)
A forest fire burning everything in sight (easy flight)
We pick it up in space with survey satellite (survey satellite looking at you)
You're turning every modern theory on its head (survey satellite looking at you)
Leaving me for dead

You're so demanding
You've got me fumbling for escape
I'm understanding
But I'm afraid it's all too late
To find a meaning
You're blowing everything away
From coast to coast
Got me much too close

There's a distant light (distant light)
A forest fire burning everything in sight (easy flight)
We pick it up in space with survey satellite (survey satellite looking at you)
You're turning every modern theory on its head (survey satellite looking at you)
Leaving me for dead

Don't worry me or hurry me
Blow me far away to the Northern Lites
Abandon me, abandon me
Blow me far away, blow me far away to the Northern Lites

  19. g.... d....

    SFA OK 👍

  20. W.... B....

    Every time the Winter Olympics is on I end up here...

  21. R.... D....

    Not even a 100,000 views for a certified work of genius. No-one has the balls to experiment like these lads used to

    R.... D....

    Amidst the crazy mish mash they'd only gone and created the most uplifting song ever! Surprised it's not recognised more

    R.... D....

    Cracking tunexx

  22. D.... A....

    SFA were consistently consistent

    D.... A....

    you could say they were also consistent at being consistently consistent.

    D.... A....

    @FBI agent #4278 SFA had a responsibility to the people to be great and they paid out good on that promise.

  23. M.... C....

    i fucking love you gogs

  24. M.... M....

    Greatest music video ever.

  25. W.... C....

    Probably the best SFA song. Either this or Slow Life

  26. 3.... ....

    I didn't realise how good this was first time around. Class.

  27. H.... C....

    @ Phippsta, f!%k all, but like you said great song.

  28. P.... ....

    Great song, but what the hell does this have to do with Curling??!!

    P.... ....

    +Phippsta That is called road bowling. It is not rocks they are throwing, but an iron bowling ball, the referee is marking how far a throw has reached with a grass marker. This is a sport only played in Ireland, typically rural Ireland.

    P.... ....

    +Phippsta i think this video is an ironic view on globalization, and maybe if you pay attention the song can be too

    P.... ....

    Road bowling? its making curling stones.

    P.... ....

    does everything have to make sense? or have a deeper meaning?

    P.... ....

    Phillipsta asked in the third response above "... what the hell are they doing at the end of the video, when they're throwing rocks/ hay down the street!!??" That is what I responded to.

  29. A.... D....

    Jeremy u typical loyal royal loving slave get it right that was Scotland playing Canada at curling it had fuck all to do with england or the uk as u foolishly call it english don't play curling your far too busy invading other countries n setting up food banks round your shitty little union

  30. s.... ....

    michael barrymore and friends

  31. s.... c....

    Filmed on and around the ailsa craig off the coast at Girvan south Ayrshire. Cool band.

    s.... c....

    And the road bowls scenes were either shot in County Cork or County Armagh in Ireland.

    s.... c....

    Definitely some of it is from cork. My grandfather is in this video at 2:55. He was big into his bowling.

  32. p.... ....

    weirdest video ever from a band that specialised in them. SFA OK.

  33. s.... ....

    Amazing clip. Even better song.

  34. J.... p....

    Fantastic video in which a brilliant Welsh band provides the soundtrack for the Scottish and English Curling team to do their stuff! God bless our United Kingdom! #Unionism  

    J.... p....

    @***** No. They are a part of my identity and one I take pride in.

    J.... p....

    @***** I'm British. I'm also a proud Unionist, like many of my English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish brothers and sisters.

    J.... p....

    Jeremy parker I'm no unionist-I'm a Scot Nat and have been for at least a decade but music is a binding force, I'm against Westminster and not my Welsh, English and Irish brothers and sisters, music is music-lets revel in the community it creates :)

    J.... p....

    You sound like Jeremy Clarkson 😅 what do you make of the exclusively Irish sport toward the end?

    J.... p....

    Some of the road bowling is from cork. My grandfather is in this video at 2:55, he was an avid bowler.

  35. J.... H....

    All time greats, ridiculously underrated.

  36. E.... C....

    Curling

  37. D.... M....
