about

I’d been listening to The Shangri-La’s’ Greatest Hits. They have the best death songs ever and I thought: “I want one of those”. So I got one. It came as I was walking through the local park looking at a streetlamp shining through a foggy evening.

John Plain wrote the beginning of the intro and instrumental break. Just three notes, each played eight times. But three beautiful and important notes. The rest was me apart from the gorgeous slide licks by Nigel Banks.

lyrics

Cold Night, out alone
Head down, on her way from home
Street light, waiting there
On his bike, a Norton bathed in Chrome

Every evening they meet by that light
Walking in the park on Sundays
Secret rendevous out on his bike
Still she never really knew his name

Cold Night, he's not there
Street light, standing tall and bare
Whisper, in her ear
Don't look back, I'll always be here

Suddenly a newspaper blows by
Boy killed on a Triumph Norton
Seemed there was a street light caught his eye
It said they didn't really know his name

She thought she heard his whisper in the dark
Standing by that lonely streetlight
Thought she saw his shadow in the park
Still she never really knew his name
