lyrics
I've been told that love is patient
Like a sniper, like a snake
But I know that love is also blind
Asleep when it's awake
And it's tricky–love's a hippy
But it's sure no pacifist
Love's a storm that comes from nowhere
Black and unafraid to go where
It'll birth you with an incandescent blitz
So be like lightning
Incidental in your fire
In your striking
Be the chaos love requires
Be like lightning
Love dismisses all the angry boys
It's bored with the police
It electrocutes them, effortless
No thought of their release
That's the kind of love that makes you
That's the raincloud you obey
In the swiftly rising rivers
in the flooding of the gutter
Love will drown the world and wash it all away
So be like lightning
All the water and the fire
In your striking
Be the chaos love requires
Be like lightning (sudden)
Casting shadows in the flash
In your striking (summoned)
Be the chaos, the chaos
There was nothing in the world before the spark
No light to give a name to the dark
Be like lightning (forever)
You're just happening and happening
And striking (whatever)
And unraveling and dazzling
Like a sniper, like a snake
But I know that love is also blind
Asleep when it's awake
And it's tricky–love's a hippy
But it's sure no pacifist
Love's a storm that comes from nowhere
Black and unafraid to go where
It'll birth you with an incandescent blitz
So be like lightning
Incidental in your fire
In your striking
Be the chaos love requires
Be like lightning
Love dismisses all the angry boys
It's bored with the police
It electrocutes them, effortless
No thought of their release
That's the kind of love that makes you
That's the raincloud you obey
In the swiftly rising rivers
in the flooding of the gutter
Love will drown the world and wash it all away
So be like lightning
All the water and the fire
In your striking
Be the chaos love requires
Be like lightning (sudden)
Casting shadows in the flash
In your striking (summoned)
Be the chaos, the chaos
There was nothing in the world before the spark
No light to give a name to the dark
Be like lightning (forever)
You're just happening and happening
And striking (whatever)
And unraveling and dazzling

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 137 fans who also own “Be Like Lightning”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.

Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved
