Thunder Album

When you get up late for work in the morning
And somebody's broken into your car
Makes you feel like killing
Maybe you'd be willing
But you don't have to take it that far

Stand up, say who cares and stand up
Cos when things drag you down
You can't take it sitting down
Stand up

You catch you girl making love with the postman
And they're doing it in your very own bed
She says he's giving her a letter,
I think you should forget her
And go out with her sister instead

Stand up, kick the cat and stand up
Don't go crying on the floor,
Just kick them out the door
And stand up


Every now and then boy
You gotta take it on the chin
It's just another symptom ofthe world we're living in
Everydays a battle,
Sometimes you're gonna bruise
But if you let it get you down you'll lose
Stand up

Sit down


Sunday morning you relax with the papers
All week long you've been working so hard
Then you can't believe what you've seen on the page
About a road they're gonna build through you yard

Stand up, shout about it stand up
you don't have to beg them please
Don't go down on your knees
Stand up
If they're gonna tread on you
make them think before they do
Stand up

Stand up, dont take it lyaing down
Stand up

There must have been a moment
A second or a time
When I didn't look up
Or I missed some kind of sign
Turned the wrong direction
When she was just an inch away
Like a missed connection
And my future slipped away

There's been times when I feel like I'm conspired against by fate
It's almost bad enough to make me hate

I'm sick of building castles in the sand
Waiting for another fake to break my promised land
I've been looking for the real thing in a lonely one night stand
Just building castles in the sand

Cos it terrifies me, ending up alone
And it walks beside me, the ghost of chances gone
Did I have it, did I let it go,
Or close the door to fast?
Is there an answere locked up in my past
In my past...

I'm sick of building castles in the sand
Waiting for another fake to break my promised land
I've been looking for the real thing in a lonely one night stand
Just building castles in the sand

I've been dying, I've been living alone so long
Going over and over the reasons, but I can't find a thing that's wrong
In my mind all the evidence seems to say
I wouldn't even know it if she walked right in today

I'm sick of building castles in the sand
Waiting for another fake to break my promised land
I've been looking for the real thing in a lonely one night stand
Just building castles in the sand

I should've seen it coming now
Should've known it would happen
this way
If I'd trusted my initial instincts
Then maybe you'd be here today

Cos the more that I gave
The more I could see a change
You only wanted my love
When you thought I might take it
away, I'm afraid

Now I'm drowning in a river of pain
Slowly going down
All I did was love you too much
So now I'll remain
Stranded here forever
Drowning in a river of pain

I don't know when it happened now
Suddenly you'd taken control
One day I was pulling your strings
girl
Then the next you had a grip on my
soul

So I let myself go baby
Cos my heart wouldn't be denied
There was distance in your eyes
And your touch turned fire to ice, no
surprise

That I'm drowning in a river of pain
Here with my regrets
Going round and round in my head
But still I remain
Stranded here forever
Drowning in a river of pain

(SOLO)

Somehow when you saw the other
side of me
Then I lost my mystery

Now I'm drowning in a river of pain
Slowly going down
All I did was love you too much
So now I'll remain
Drowning in a river
Oh I’m drowning

You went away and left long time ago
Now your knocking on my door
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you been

I begged you not to go but you said goodbye
Now your telling me all your lies
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you been

You better get back to your used to be
'Cause your kind of love ain't good for me
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you been

I told you way back in '52
That I would never go with you
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you been

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...

When you walked in dressed to kill, with a smile upon your face
I thought my luck was about to change, the way you walked into my place
But it seems like I was wrong, still you wanna make me wait
Make your move or get out that door, 'cos baby it's getting late

I move a little to the left
You move a little to the right
And it's been that way all night
I'm gonna call your bluff
Baby do you want me?
Does it feel like love?

Blowing hot like a desert wind, then you're cold like a winter day
What you want I don't know, but you keep coming 'round to play
If there's something on your mind, then I don't know what it is
Still you keep saying "take your time", but girl we haven't even kissed

I'm only flesh and blood
You know the way I'm feeling,
Lord I feel so good
Why d'you make it so tough?
Baby do you want me?
Does it feel like love?

Does it feel like love when I hold your hand?
'Cos I just don't understand
Why you've been holding back so long
Won't you tell me for pity's sake
How long are you gonna take?
You don't know how you turn me on

(Solo)

I move a little to the left
You move a little to the right
And it's been that way all night
I'm gonna call your bluff
Baby do you want me?
Baby do you want me?
Tell me
Does it feel like love?

Does it, does it, does it, yeah

Does it feel like love?
