Thanks for posting that hothothot!... That's pretty strange, as I also thought of the bloke in the Guinness Book of Records, I believe he was a forest ranger who was struck by lightning about seven times on separate occasions and survived each time. He was also the inspiration behind the song "Sometimes" by James, another favorite band of mine, which is about a boy wanting to be struck by lightning for spiritual ecstasy. That could be another interpretation for this song, if we take it more literally, we could assume the narrator has actually been struck by lightning on different occasions and survived them all, but he gets a kind of spiritual ecstasy from the experience each time, as is evident in the chorus.
Going by what I've read it seems as though it's about three sexual experiences Robert had while on a particular drug, but it's definitely open to some fantastic interpretations.
