"Lady Eleanor," written by band member Alan Hull, was Lindisfarne's first of only two releases to hit the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the USA. "Lady Eleanor" landed at no. 82 on the chart, staying on the chart for only 5 weeks, while rising to no. 3 on the UK chart (Whitburn, 2013; Wikipedia, 2022). Hull stated that the song was based on the writings of Edgar Alan Poe; the lyrics came to him after experiencing a strange nightmare after having read some of Poe's work (R.

Lyrics:
Bashee playing magician sitting lotus on the floor
Belly dancing beauty with a power driven saw
Had my share of nightmares, didn't think could be much more
Then in walked Rodrick Usher with the Lady Eleanor
She tied my eyes with ribbon of a silken ghostly thread
I gazed with trouble vision on an old four poster bed
Where Eleanor had risen to kiss the neck below my head
And bid me come along with her to the land of the dancing dead
But it's all right, Lady Eleanor
All right, Lady Eleanor
I'm all right where I am
She gazed with the loving beauty like a mother to a son
Like living, dying, seeing, being all rolled into one
Then all at once I heard some music playing in my bones
The same old song I'd heard for years, reminding me of home
But it's all right, Lady Eleanor
All right, Lady Eleanor
I'm all right where I am
Then creeping on towards me, lips with tongues of fire
A host of golden demons screaming lust and base desire
And when it seemed for certain that the screams could get no higher
I heard a voice above the rest screaming, 'You're a liar'
But it's all right, Lady Eleanor
All right, Lady Eleanor
I'm all right here in your arms
