Thunder Album

Tell me where did they lay you down?
Where did they lay you down?
Two graves in Mississippi and nobody knows
Where did they lay you down?
Tell me where did they lay you down?

Did the Devil really buy your soul?
Did the Devil really buy your soul?
Did he teach you how to play and take your soul away?
Did the Devil really buy your soul?
Did the Devil really buy your soul?

The heat was rising to the Delta haze
And your fate was sealed when you saw her face
Making love all afternoon
That woman put a spell on you
Oh yeah

Saturday night at the Three Points Inn
You drank the whiskey with the poison in
Cause a jealous guy had a girl to lose
The last time you played the blues
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oo, going down to the crossroads tonight
Around midnight
I'll be looking for you
Oo, going down to the crossroads tonight
I know it'll be alright
If I listen to you

Tell me where did they lay you down?
Where did they lay you down?
Two graves in Mississippi and nobody knows
Where did they lay you down?
Where did they lay you down?
Tell me where did they lay you down?

Last night I got a big surprise
As I was studying the back of my eyes
You were right there in my head
Pole-dancing at the end of my bed
I don't know what to do
I had a dirty dream about you

I couldn't see what the fuss was about when
My best friend started checking you out
But now I've seen you in a different light
I'm playing with dynamite
Now all I wanna do is share my dirty dream with you

Imagination I'd never underrate
But now the seed is sown
It's a little bit late

It's so right now but it's so wrong
Deep, dark desire is coming on strong
I feel the rhythm and I wanna play along

I didn't ask to be put in this place
How am I ever gonna look you in the face
When all I want is to see you there
In your high heels and underwear
Cos all I wanna do is make my dirty dream come true

I bet you're wondering why the sudden change
If you'd seen what I've seen you wouldn't think it's strange

It's so wrong now but it's so right
Some kind of voodoo in the middle of the night
I don't wanna do it but I'm thinking that I might

Dance like you did last night
You know I won't put up a fight
Do it like you did before
I'll turn the music up a little more

Don't you fade away
Stay with me 'til day

Imagination I'd never underrate
But now the seed is sown
It's a little bit late

It's so right now but it's so wrong
Deep, dark desire is coming on strong
I feel the rhythm and I wanna play along

It's so wrong now but it's so right
Some kind of voodoo in the middle of the night
I don't wanna do it but I'm thinking that I might

Do it like you did before
I'll turn the music up a little more

I've never seen you look so empty
I've never heard you sound so low
I've never felt your pain so deeply
And I just wanted you to know

Cos when your smile feels like you're lying
When it's all too much to bear
There ain't no use denying
You gotta put that weight down somewhere

And as a million faces go by
You're gonna find a new connection
On that you can rely
And you'll feel your heart take wings and fly
But we've all gotta get a little broken sometimes

You say "what's the point in living?"
When your world's been torn apart
Well there ain't no shame in crying
And that's a pretty good place to start

Cos as a million faces go by
There'll be more than one to touch you
And make sense of your life
You can harden yourself up all you like
But you're still gonna get a little broken sometimes

And though I know you don't believe it right now
You gonna get through this somehow
As time dulls the edge of the pain that you feel
You feel..........

And as a million faces go by
You'll find a new connection
On that you can rely
And you'll feel your heart take wings and fly, see it fly
You can harden yourself up all you like
But you're still gonna get a little broken sometimes

I don't wanna talk about love....

Here in my head, I should be moving on
But in my heart it's a different story, it's another song
Shackled and tied like a dog out in the cold
I fight it as hard as I can but I've got no control

I know you feel for me but all I feel is pain
I really wanna tell you but how can I explain?

When I don't wanna talk about love, oh no, oh no
I don't wanna talk about love
Everybody's talking 'bout it too much

I know there's no sense in dwelling on the past
But with my hand on my heart I can't tell you how long it's gonna last
They say it's good to talk but I have to disagree
The more I keep it in, the more it sets me free

'Cause I don't wanna talk about love, oh no, oh no
I don't wanna talk bout love

I can feel her twisting, crawling under my skin
I gotta get the poison out so I can breathe again

I know you feel for me but all I feel is pain
I really wanna tell you but how can I explain?

When I don't wanna talk about love, oh no, oh no
I don't wanna talk about love
When I don't wanna talk about love, oh no, oh no
I don't wanna talk about love
Everybody's talking 'bout it too much

I was a young kid of thirteen, never been kissed
A Mass of homones with legs on
I didn't know what to do, I did not have a clie
I was tissues and tension

All the girls my won age
They never really did it for me
I needed someone mor sophisticated
And I found her in a magazine

Bless me father for I have sinned and I'm a low life
Will I still be able to see?

I'd nothing to do with it
The Devil made me do it
Don't put the blame on me
It's a traversty

I met a guy who was rich and a bit f a fool
And his girlfriend was beautiful
I never worked out the reasonn I liked him so much
Till I saw her lying by his pool

When she caught me staring
She smiledin that wicked way
To my surprise there was a knock at my door
And there she was the next day

I'm riding on a Rocket, I'm powerless to stop it
I tried to push her away

But I guess she knew it
The Devil'd make me do it
Tell me what do you say?
Wnen it's gonna happen anyway

The Devil made me do it, the Devil made me do it
He really made me do it, yes the Devil made me do it

I'm riding on a Rocket, I'm powerless to stop it
I tried to push her away

But I guess she knew it
The Devil'd make me do it
Tell me what do you say?
Wnen it's gonna happen anyway

Do what you want when the world is telling you to stop
Shout out the rules then break them whenever you choose
Is forty years a long time? Ho did you forget?
You javen't learned a damn thing, like knowing when to quit

Wherever you go, whatever you do
They always seem to be ahead of you
can ou tel me how long it'll be 'til you're done?
'Til you shoot our own gun at the last man standing in the sun

You can't justify your flawed agenda with a lie
Peace is no excuse if war's the only weapon that you choose
Everybody sees it plainly through your veil
No-one understands it, a mission bound to fail

Whatever you say, whoever you fool
There'll be twice as many won't believe in you
It's the same worn out song, and it'll go on and on
'Till you drop your bombs on the last man standing in the sun

How could you say shock and awe wiould win the day?
When dust and broken bone only builds a will of stone
Out of sight is one thing but it won't be out of mind
Until you're seeing reason for leaving it behind

Wherever you go, whatever you do
They always seem to be ahead of you
can ou tel me how long it'll be 'til you're done?
'Til you shoot our own gun at the last man standing in the sun

It's the same worn out song, and it'll go on and on
'Til the last man's standing in the sun

In my darkest hour I've never been
To places that today I know I've seen
And although it doesn't mean much to you
I wish you could go there too
So you could know the emptiness I feel

You're the reason why my world caved in
Just when I was breathing once again
When you feel you've found the real thing
To invest emotions in
It's hard as hell to find out you were wrong

How long will this misery carry on?
My broken heart lies shattered on the floor
Can't you see you'd have been so right for me?
If I hadn't been so quick to let it show
I guess I'll never know

It's funny just how vulnerable you get
I should've seen it coming I admit
So I'll be a slave to my regret
And if I ever get over it
I won't let myself be taken in again

So sad, I've given it all I have
But I can't make you love me, that's a fact
I understand, I wish I'd never shown my hand
But the past is done and I can't change it so
What Might have been, I guess I'll never know
I guess I'll never know

Showbiz kids and all their schemes
Big plans asempty as their dreams
They all got confidence to spare
Feel the ambition if you dare, yeah

you want it al now, and it doesn't matter how
You can't dance or sing, but that don't mean a thing
Cos it's not what you do, it's who you are
And you'd sell your mum and dad to be where you are

And what Andy Warhol said was right, maybe
Everyone gets a shot if they're good enough or not
We'll al be celebreties in time in pantomime

Skin deep, should I jump onto the heap
Cos I'm stil here, is it time I dissappeared?
Music should always move along
But this many people can't be wrong

If what Andy Warhol said was right, baby
I guess I must be wrong, my fifteen minutes gone
Do you mind if I get in the queue in fromt of you?

You're all just off your time, I guess I can't put the blame on you

Showbiz kids and all their schemes
Big plans asempty as their dreams
They all got confidence to spare
Feel the ambition if you dare

And what Andy Warhol said was right, maybe
Everyone gets a shot if they're good enough or not
We'll al be celebreties in time in our time

I'm gonna have to get back in the queue
In fromt of you, in front of you
So what you gonna do?
I'm just as bad as you

It was just a winter's morning
Waling in the Human Race
Hurrying up going nowhere baby
And then I saw her face
In the chaos around us
I don't know how I caught her eye
But in the spae of a heartbeat
She began to smile

I could se the storm clouds gathering above me
I felt the wind as it started to howl
And it rained like the sky was crying
But all I could say was what a beautiful day

Overloading my senses
She was in heavenly light
just the kind of a moment
That lasts you a life, that's why

I could se the storm clouds gathering above me
I felt the wind as it started to howl
And it rained like the sky was crying
But all I could say was what a beautiful day

I'll remember the feeling till I die
Time was standing still
I was flying high, so high

I could se the storm clouds gathering above me
I felt the wind as it started to howl
And it rained like the sky was crying
What a beautifulday, what a beautiful day

And it riained like the sky was crying
But all I could say was what a beautiful day

When there's something spinning round in your head
And all the dark clouds come to stay
Haven't I been there a hundred times or more
To chase them away

I held your hand when no-one gave you a chance
Massaged your ego till it shone
Laboured under the illusion
You'd be the one

Now it's all going down, now you're turning around
At the moment that I need you
You're acting like you haven't got the time

Now it's all about you
You wouldn't even notice if I was torn in two
What have I got to do?
You get to listen to what I'm going through

I suspected this much somewhere in time
But I hoped you'd prove me wrong
But all you've given me is a cliche
To turn into a song

You've been changing your ways
I'v been wasting my days
Quietly reachng this conclusion
That you'd rather be with anybody else

And it's all about you
Every whim, every mood swing, everything you do
You're never wrong and never true
And what you do to me, you don't have a clue

Now it's all going down, now you're turning around
At the moment that I need you
You're acting like you haven't got the time to hang around

Now it's al about you
Cos you never notince when I'm torn in two
So what have I got to do?

You're never wrong and never true
And what you do to me doesn't mean a jot to you
Cos you never listen to what I'm going through
Yeah you don't give a damn 'bout a single thing I do

I put my wrong foot forward, you don't cut me no slack
Only when I feel pain can you stand to laugh
Cos if I say the wrong thing you won't let it lie
You're a spoiled child and you're never satisfied

Everytime when we get straight, when it all goes right
I know you'll bow a new fuse, it's a matter of time
So I sit here waiting, but I never can rest
I know it's a blow, but you just can't second guess

A stubborn kind of love that still gets me high
God knows why
It's a stubborn kind of love refusing to die
No matter how we try

You didn't come with instructions or any health warning
And when I'm around you you're a coiled spring
It's a war of attrition, a battle of wills
It's hard to believe we both still get a thrill

From a stubborn kind of love that still gets me high, oh no
It's a stubborn kind of love connecting our souls
And we got no control

A stubborn kind of love that still gets me high
God knows why
It's a stubborn kind of love refusing to die

it's a stubborn kind of love that still gets me high, oh no
It's a stubborn kind of love connecting our souls
And we got no control
