Call Me Lightning

Song ratings

Rating Comments Author Date
Average song rating Two of The Who's 1968 singles were in fact written in 1965 (the other was "Magic Bus") and sort of kept in the back-burner until needed for a dry spell. Well, the dry spell arrived in 1968 and "Call Me Lightning" was released. The song is about 50% beach sound and 100% awful. Bruce Beatlefan March 13, 2008

Lyrics

See that girl who's smiling so brightly,
Well I reckon she's cool and I reckon rightly,
She's good looking and I ain't frightened,
I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning.

Hey little girl who's dancing so lightly,
My XKE is shining so brightly,
The noose around us is slowly tightening,
I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning.

Hey little girl who's dancing so lightly,
My XKE is shining so brightly,
The noose around us is slowly tightening,
I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning.

You can't catch me, I'm as fast as can be,
Call me lightning, I'm as fast as can be,
No you can't catch me, no you can't catch me.
