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 fire all in one
Got me on the run
There's a 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
Your turning every modern theory on it's head
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
Your blowing everything away
From coast to coast
Got me much too close
There's a distant light
A forest fire burning everything insight
Easy flight
We pick it up in space with survey satellite
Survey satellite looking at you
Your turning every modern theory on it's head
Leaving me for dead
Don't worry me or hurry me
Blow me far away to the Northern Lights
Abandon me, abandon me
Blow me far away....
You're getting stranger everyday
Uncertain chancer
You're sending everything astray
You're certain danger
You're a monsoon and fire all in one
Got me on the run
A forest fire burning everything in sight
Easy flight
We pick it up in space with survey satellite
Survey satellite looking at you
Your turning every modern theory on it's head
Leaving me for dead
You've got me fumbling for escape
I'm understanding
But I'm afraid it's all too late
To find a meaning
Your blowing everything away
From coast to coast
Got me much too close
A forest fire burning everything insight
Easy flight
We pick it up in space with survey satellite
Survey satellite looking at you
Your turning every modern theory on it's head
Leaving me for dead
Blow me far away to the Northern Lights
Abandon me, abandon me
Blow me far away....

Actually, I've heard several times that this song is about global warming. Or El Ninio. I forget which.
Interesting way to deal with the lack of "ñ" on English keyboards...

Excellent song. My favorite by far.
excellent indeed. i think it's about being so crazy about someone, you want them to kick you into touch almost as much as you want to be with them because you know that they could hurt you.
I think its about a bonkers girlfriend.
I think this song is about somebody who refers to themself as perfect "Born in a manger" but who is actually completely insane and strange, but being completely attracted to that person despite the fact they are so different.
I think it is about someone who actually was born in a manger -- or said to be born there -- and that's God. And it's about how God or the universe or nature (I doubt it matters much from the perspective of SFA) is now destroying everything on earth through global warming, fires, and lots of other Ten Plague-like calamities. Very pleasant music to go with such destructive lyrics.
i love the bit in: Got me on the run There's a distant light (Distant light) A forest fire burning everything in sight (Easy fight) 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

It's about El Nino. Developing in the Gulf Of Mexico (born in a manger), growing in strength and then wreaking havoc to world weather
Born in a manger. You're getting stranger everyday. Uncertain chancer. Your sending everything astray. Your certain danger. Your a monsoon and fire all in one. Got me on the run.
@AllyDick It causes rain in some parts of the world and extra heat in others, which causes monsoons and also fires
