Eddie Kidd, OBE (born 22 June 1959) is an English former stunt performer. He was paralysed and suffered brain damage following an accident in 1996. On 15 June 2012, it was announced that he had been made an OBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours list.
Kidd started his career at the age of fourteen. He is the holder of many world records for jumping over cars and buses. He has worked as a stunt double in many films, notably for Timothy Dalton in The Living Daylights, Roger Moore and Michael Caine in Bullseye!, and Pierce Brosnan in GoldenEye. One of his most famous motorcycle stunts was in the 1979 film Hanover Street starring Harrison Ford. Doubling for Ford on a motorbike, he jumped a 120 feet (37 m) railway cutting at 90 miles per hour (140 km/h) in Shepton Mallet, Somerset. He also doubled for Val Kilmer in Top Secret!.
In his role as stunt biker Dave Munday in the 1981 film Riding High, Kidd performed a motorcycle jump across an 80 feet gap in a disused viaduct across the Blackwater River in Essex. In 1993, he jumped over the Great Wall of China on a motorcycle. Despite performing over 12,000 jumps in his career, he did not have a UK motorcycle licence until 1995.
Last night on the 2, ride home. I swear man I saw an angel.
But when I looked again man, it was just another stranger.
Last night I saw liquor land, man I had a big mission.
13 horsemen riding on and off wind, so I turn my color to the gold.
Got back in my ride, turn up that stereo.
Man what do you have, that you don't need.
We need it all down here!
Temptation, redemption, the Bottle and the Cross.
Life's illusion, from everything you've done.
And somewhere out there,
I hear a SCREAM!
Last night in brigham circle the devil tried to mug me.
And I said: "Man what do I got, you don't got allready?"
You know he looked up to me and said: "Maybe you're right"
Maybe I got something else for you tonight,
He said: "Man what do you need, that you don't own?"
"We got it all down here!"
Temptation, redemption, the Bottle and the Cross.
Life's illusion, from everything you've done.
And somewhere out there over the airwaves,
I hear a SCREAM!
And when the music takes control, it's allright by me.
Ooh another moon rise competing with the lights of the bright city.
Caught between the drum and the baseline, you know it's allright.
SAM System homing like a 737's come to take me back home.
