LYRICS:
When the night Lingers in the thunder and rain It's making me forget my name And everything I've ever known And baby when the night Turns everything I love into war Like nothing that I know is for sure And everything I've ever known It's so far from home I wanna know what love is all about Why first I'm going up And then I'm going down Suddenly it's like I've never seen the sun before And do you see... I wanna feel the lightning in my hand That underneath it all it's got to be a plan And I can understand What the hell I'm looking for Somehow ended up in love But I can't believe I wanted this phenomena I can't even sleep at all Stop now, stop, you're leaving up again I can't believe I wanted this phenomena And I, I hardly need to call When the night Lingers in the thunder and rain It's making me forget my name And everything I've ever known And baby when the night Turns everything I love into war Like nothing that I know is for sure And everything I've ever known It's so far from home I wanna cool my fever in the rain I'm burning like a moth attracted to the flame But better that I burn than slowly fade away And do you see... I wanna feel the lightning in my hand That underneath it all it's got to be a plan And I can understand What the hell I'm looking for Somehow ended up in love But I can't believe I wanted this phenomena I can't even sleep at all Stop now, stop, you're leaving up again I can't believe I wanted this phenomena And I, I hardly need to call When the night Lingers in the thunder and rain It's making me forget my name And everything I've ever known And baby when the night Turns everything I love into war Like nothing that I know is for sure And everything I've ever known It's so far from home It's so far from home

The soft rock ballad 'When The Night' flirts with Eighties Prince and the gushing sentiment might be sickly in some hands but Annie melts effortlessly into the starry backing as she coos in a broken state "I can't believe I wanted this phenomenon." Despite using imagery involving animals and lightning, the song feels like it was designed for a video treatment involving rain on the window, piles of tissue, big blankets and long glances at framed pictures of the heartbreaker. Drowned In Sound

Annie is experiencing some nocturnal angst, like dracula but without the blood lust. A classy, understated ballad that wouldn't sound out of place on the Pet Shop Boy's Behaviour album.
