Thunder Album

Well my temperature's rising and my feet are on the floor
Twenty people knocking 'cos they're wanting some more
Let me in baby, I don't know what you've got
But you'd better take it easy, this place is hot

I'm so glad we made it, I'm so glad we made it
You've gotta gimme some lovin' (gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin' (gimme gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin' every day

Well I feel so good, everything is sounding hot
Better take it easy 'cos the place is on fire
Been a hard day and I don't know what to do
Wait a minute baby, it could happen to you

I'm so glad we made it, I'm so glad we made it
You've gotta gimme some lovin' (gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin' (gimme gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin' every day

Well I feel so good, everybody's getting high
Better take it easy 'cos the place is on fire
Been a hard day and nothing went too good
Now I'm gonna relax honey, everybody should

I'm so glad we made it, I'm so glad we made it
You've gotta gimme some lovin' (gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin' (gimme gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin' every day

Gimme some lovin' (gimme some lovin') I need it
(Gimme gimme some lovin') I need it
Ooh, gimme some lovin', every day, every day

I see you walking by, you've got
that faraway look in your eye
It was only yesterday, like a cheap
suit you were all over me
I should know better by now my
friend, just what I mean to you
You've been running in and out of
my life so long
I don't want nothing to do with you

Chorus:
I don't need your dirty love, I don't
want you touching me
I don't want your dirty love, it's
enough, trying to live with the
memory

Na na na na na na na, na na na na
na na na na

Chew me up, spit me out, you
turned my whole world inside out
There's a name for girls like you
You belong in the gutter, I know that
you do
Baby I've had enough lies to last the
rest of my days on earth
So now you're gonna get what you
deserve

I don't need your dirty love, I don't
want you touching me
I don't want your dirty love, it's
enough

I know there ain't no way I'll stay,
we were gonna break it up some day
And that day is now, baby I'm
getting out
So don't you cry now, sigh now
'Cos you've been living a lie now
when I'm not around

(Solo)

You've been running in and out of
my life so long
There ain't no way I'll stay, no way

chorus

Na na na na na na na, na na na na
na na na na
Na na na na na na na, na na na na
na na na na, I don't need your dirty
love

So get out, I've packed your bags, I
left 'em at the door
So get 'em out, start walkin'...

I was running late for a night
downtown
Me and the boys gonna tie one down
So I took a short cut through an
alleyway
And this sound just took my breath
away

There she stood with just one guitar
Looking much too good to be in this
bar
I tried to leave but my feet were
lead
And the song she played just filled
my head

'Cos when she sang out that melody,
I heard a sound like a backstreet
symphony
My senses sung my head was spun,
as I walked through the door
I gotta hear some more

So I watched the show in a state of
trance
Staying 'til the end waiting for a
chance
To meet with her and make her mine
And keep her there 'til the end of
time

When she unfolded that melody, I
heard a sound like a backstreet
symphony
My destiny had guided me through
the bar room door
I got to hear some more, I wanna
hear some more

(Solo)

'Cos when she sang out that melody,
I heard a sound like a backstreet
symphony
My destiny had guided me through
the bar room door, through the door
I gotta hear some more, I got to got
to got to got to hear some more
Backstreet love...

Now I look out my window
To the street so far below
And I pray I'll see you approaching
Don't know why you had to go
It's been so long but I feel no better
I've gotta say I'm still so alone
Will I ever get used to this feeling
And the nights so long and cold

When all I want to do is hold you
But all I see to do is cry
And all you had to say the day you walked away
Was Don't wait for me, goodbye

All my friends they smile when they see me
I guess they know what I'm going through
They don't mention your name to protect me
Now what am I supposed to do?

When all I want to do is hold you
But all I see to do is cry
And the last thing that you said
and it's ringing round my head
Was Don't wait for me, goodbye

How can I replace you?
How am I gonna get through every night?
All the time I wasted
All the pain I tasted for you
I'm losing my mind.....

(Solo)

All I want to do is hold you
But all I see to do is cry
And all you had to say the day you walked away
Was Don't wait for me, goodbye

So tired of waiting I walked an empty
land,
I was looking for something to help
me understand,
But bad luck kept turning,
My dreams into sand,

I didn't want pity,
I had my share of friends,
I wanted somebody,
More special than the rest,
I was aching inside,
Like I was approaching the end,

Just about that moment,
The timing was so right,
You appeared like a vision,
Sent down to my life,
I thought I was dreaming,
When I saw you that night,

That's when love walked in through
my door,
That familiar feeling I had once
before,
Love walked in through my door,
And it felt so strange,

It's hard to remember being on my
own,
That kind of loving makes a hard man
lose control,
But I sleep so much better,
Now I'm not alone,

So promise me baby,
You're always gonna stay,
I don't think I could take it,
Seeing you walk away,
You don't need to doubt it,
I remember that day,

That's when love walked in through
my door,
I found just what I wanted,
But I got so much more,
Love walked in through my door,
And it felt so strange,
Like a long lost friend that hadn't
changed,
Giving me hope again,
Love walked in,
Love walked in,
Love,

Just about that moment,
The timing was so right,
You appeared like a vision,
Sent down to my life,
I thought I was dreaming,
When I saw you that night,

That's when love walked in through
my door,
That familiar feeling I had once
before,
Love walked in through my door,

Love walked in through my door,
That familiar feeling I had it once
before,
Love walked in through my door,
And it felt so strange,
Like a long lost friend that hadn't
changed,
Giving me hope again,
Love walked in,
Love walked in,
Love,
Love walked in,
Love walked in.

I feel the wind blow on the corner
And I'm looking down along this dead end street
All the people are getting older
But they don't give a damn their lives are incomplete

It don't look no better than it did before
And I know what's happening behind each door

If I don't get out today, I'm gonna waste my life away
And that's a part that I can't play

I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town, I can feel it driving me away
Baby you and me were meant for higher ground, we've got to steal away

As a young boy I didn't fit in,
and I knew it then I wouldn't be the same
But that was only in the beginning
And as the time rolled on deeper grew the pain

So give me one good reason why I should stay
I think I've got enough money for the late night train

There's a world you've never seen, but I've been there in my dreams
It's calling out to me

I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town, I can feel it driving me away
Baby you and me were meant for higher ground, we've got to steal away

(Solo)

If I don't get out today, I'm gonna waste my life away
I'm gonna waste my life away, and that's a part that I can't play

I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town, I can feel it driving me away
Baby you and me were meant for higher ground, we've got to steal away

I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town, I can feel it driving me away
Baby you and me were meant for higher ground, we've got to steal away

You and me baby, we've got to steal away, turn it on, turn it on

I spent a long time thinking 'bout what you meant to me
And I've decided I was wrong
I fooled myself, thinking it was how it's supposed to be
I should've known it all along
Now I don't want to fight about it no more
It was all so clear to me, when I walked out the door

Loving you's like fire, but I'm tired of getting burned
It's been a long time coming baby, but the tables just got turned
'Cos you swallowed up my soul, and you wasted all my youth
The time has come to face it, it's the moment of truth

I'm amazed I let you do the things you did to me
But they say that love is blind
Now my ball & chain has melted away, and I feel 10 feet tall today
'Cos I've stolen back my mind, oh baby
I should've realised it years before
But now my satisfaction's guaranteed, without you that's for sure

Loving you's like fire, but I'm tired of getting burned
It's been a long time coming baby, but the tables just got turned
'Cos you swallowed up my soul, and you wasted all my youth
The time has come to face it, it's the moment of truth

I've waited a lifetime, but I'm finally on the track
Out of the dark into the sunshine, and I ain't going back

(Solo)

Loving you's like fire, but I'm tired of getting burned
It's been a long time coming baby, but the tables just got turned
'Cos you swallowed up my soul, and you wasted all my youth
The time has come to face it, it's the moment of truth

It's the moment of truth
The time has come to face it, the moment of truth, baby

It was early in the evening, I was
waiting for a train
I was thinking to myself as I watched
the pouring rain
I need love, but I don't know where
to get it
Then underneath this big umbrella
she walked in the waiting room
I just had to tell her though it might
have been too soon
I need love and I think I might have
found it

She was some kind of priestess with
a black dress on
With her film star kind of features, she
really turned me on

And if it takes until forever and a day,
I've gotta make that woman mine
If I don't tell her then I'll wish my life
away, she's so fine, she's so fine

I said don't misunderstand me, I didn't
mean to make you blush
But when I got this feeling, I knew I
had to rush
I need love, and you know I want to
give it

I've been waiting for a lifetime for a
woman like you
I know I'm walking on a fine line, but
I've got to see it through

If I should pass away tonight while I'm
asleep
At least I'll know I spoke my mind
I'm being driven by some other force
that won't be denied, she's so fine

(Solo)

She's so fine

I've been waiting for a lifetime for a
woman like you
I know I'm walking on a fine line, but
I've got to see it through, through

She's so fine, she's so fine, she's so
fine
Ooh, I took one look at you baby,
babe it feels so good inside
She's so fine, makes me feel good...

Let me tell you 'bout this girl I know
She ain't nothing like any girl you've
known before
'Cos everybody wants her
In her dress or her old blue jeans
When you see her you'll be coming
apart at the seams
'Cos everybody wants her

She's got everything a man could ask
for, she's animal and innocence
She could wrap you 'round her little
finger
She's sharp as a knife, you ought to
see her dance

Chorus:
(Everybody wants her) Everybody
wants her, they make it plain to see
(Everybody needs her) Everybody
needs her, she don't know it, but
she wants me

The first time that she passed my
way
I got so nervous that I couldn't find
a thing to say
'Cos everybody wants her
She's told so many guys to sling their
hook
But I've been watching her eyes and
I've seen her look
She knows everybody wants her

I'm never wrong with my intuition,
I'm gonna say what I have to say
I got it worked out to the letter, I
know I can make her see it my way

chorus - she wants me

(Solo)

She's got everything a man could ask
for, she's animal and innocence
She could wrap you 'round her little
finger
She's sharp as a knife, boy you
ought to see her dance
You ought to see her dance

chorus

(Everybody wants her) Everybody
wants her
I got to tell you that the woman
makes it plain to see
(Everybody needs her) Everybody
wants her, she don't know
(Everybody wants her) Everybody
wants to be her man
(Everybody needs her) Everybody
needs her, but she wants me
That's the way it's gotta be, just her
and me, together baby
We're together, you and me...

Looking around your home town
Trying to find a reason not to leave
All of your friends don't understand
You find that small town air so hard to breathe

Clock keeps ticking
You don't need the life your living
Deep in your heart don't you feel like running
Over the hills where the real worlds going on
There's nothing to keep you here
So what have you got to fear ?
You'll never be young again

So kick off the ball and chain (get running)
Kick off the ball and chain (get running)

You work in a job you really hate
For a guy who thinks you're just a waste of space
You've been telling yourself so long now
One day you're gonna put him in his place
And wouldn't you love it
Telling the boss to shove it
Stay where you are you'll amount to nothing
It's only a step in your mind and you'll be gone

You know that you wanna go


Like the wind you've got to blow
So don't you hesitate

Kick off the ball and chain (get running)
Kick off the ball and chain (get running)
Get you ticket and board that train
And kick off the ball and chain

You know you haven't got a thing to lose
You don't wanna spend your life in a dead man's shoes

(SOLO)

There's nothing to keep you here
So what have you got to fear
You'll never be young again
Kick off the ball and chain
You know that you wanna go
Like the wind you've got to blow
So don't you hesitate

Kick off the ball and chain (get running)
Kick off the ball and chain (get running)
Get your ticket and board that train
And kick off the ball and chain

Laying down in this Spanish bar, that last slammer hit me like a car
I've got the 6 a.m. Balearic blues, can't even focus on my own tattoos
I had a fight with this German guy, I saw him give my little girl the eye
While he was trying hard to be so cool, I hit him with a stool

Oh yes, alright, I'll be going all night
Gonna drink 'til they take me away, I'm an Englishman on holiday

Every year I get to do the same, I meet the boys and get on the plane
We like to sing and shout out "here we go"
'Cos they're the only words that we all know
We've got the loudest shirts you've ever seen
We're gonna take the beaches like a team
We've got so much duty free to drink, enough to float a ship

Oh yeah alright, I'll be going all night
So light the paper, get out of the way, I'm an Englishman on holiday

We never look for trouble at the start, but it always comes our way
We've got our pride and we just can't walk away

(Solo)

This morning I woke up inside a cell
They dragged me screaming out of my hotel
I don't remember what it was I did
But I've got this drummer banging in my head
I've got to get out 'fore I miss the plane, next summer I'll be back again
I'll be fighting for the Union Jack, if they let me back

Oh yes, alright, I'll be going all night
Gonna drink 'til they take me away, I'm an Englishman on holiday...
