lyrics

Belfast Thunder

Sound of British
Irish driving
lightning
and the wait for
thunder
the thunder
concealing stereo
city centre bomb blasts
city centre Belfast summer 1992

What the thunder said

Estimated one million
pounds' worth of damage
two minor injuries
nobody dead

Thunder brings only
promise of rain round here

Thunder's saying
nothing positive round here
holes in my shoes
Rimbaud's pockets
I once more
encounter the realistic
