Lyric discussion by bobby peru 

James singer Tim Booth has mentioned that parts of the song are about his desire to be struck by lightning!!! Some beautiful imagery here in possibly my favourite James song, the Lester Piggot in brackets after Sometimes refers to the driving, racing sound of the music (Lester Piggot was a legendary UK Horse Racing Jockey) although there is also a possible connection to the "Lester Piggot" chant at the end of the original version of Sit Down (1989)
