- Richard Thompson - 1952 Vincent Black Lightning Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- Oh says Red Molly to James "That's a fine motorbike.
- A girl could feel special on any such like"
- Says James to Red Molly "My hat's off to you
- It's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952.
- And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems
- Red hair and black leather, my favourite colour scheme"
- And he pulled her on behind and down to Boxhill they did ride
- Oh says James to Red Molly "Here's a ring for your right hand
- But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man.
- For I've fought with the law since I was seventeen,
- I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine.
- Now I'm 21 years, I might make 22
- And I don't mind dying, but for the love of you.
- And if fate should break my stride
- Then I'll give you my Vincent to ride"
- "Come down, come down, Red Molly" called Sergeant McRae
- "For they've taken young James Adie for armed robbery.
- Shotgun blast hit his chest, left nothing inside.
- Oh come down, Red Molly to his dying bedside"
- When she came to the hospital, there wasn't much left
- He was running out of road, he was running out of breath
- But he smiled to see her cry
- He said "I'll give you my Vincent to ride"
- Says James "In my opinion, there's nothing in this world
- Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed girl.
- Now Nortons and Indians and Greeves won't do,
- Ah, they don't have a soul like a Vincent 52"
- Oh he reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys
- Said "I've got no further use for these.
- I see angels on Ariels in leather and chrome,
- Swooping down from heaven to carry me home"
- And he gave her one last kiss and died
- And he gave her his Vincent to ride.
