Thunder Album

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?

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'...

Once in a while, I drift in time
To a place in my memory, that it still
hurts to find
I was taking on the world with a see-
through smile
But dying on the inside all the while
I was, dying on the inside all the
while

Like a martyr that don't want
sympathy
I locked away my feelings, and
threw away the key
It was gonna take a miracle to pierce
my pride
And you were the tower of strength
to try
When your loving washed right over
me like the tide

And now I believe in love (I believe
in love)
I believe in love (I believe in love)
You're the reason why I can
Cos when I look, at myself, in the
mirror
I see a better man
A better man
Yes its hard finding words that can
say how I feel about you
I don't care if it sounds like another
old cliche
But I can't stand the thought of
living my life without you
For even a day

Oh baby

And now I believe in love (I believe
in love)
Yes I believe in love (I believe in
love)
You're the reason why I can
Cos when I look, at myself, in the
mirror
Oh baby
When I look at myself in the mirror
When I'm looking at myself in the
mirror
I see a better man

[No lyrics]

There's a man with a flash car living
right next to me
He's got so much, he keeps it under
lock and key
And he don't give a damn about the
people he turns away
He's too busy making money to give
them the time of day

Gonna get a heart attack 'cos he
works late all the time
I swear he doesn't know his kids, his
wife thinks it's a crime
It's not the way for me, taking life so
seriously
When the end comes I wanna be
laughing on judgement day

I was thinking 'bout the time when I
couldn't afford a beer
And wondering why there's so many
women 'round here
Then the truth stepped up and hit
me like a ton of lead
Now the children of the night want
to know me, there's a price upon my
head

Well you know it makes me laugh 'cos
I've been around a while
I ought to make her happy before
I'm out of style
'Cos now I've got a dream to sell,
she got her feet in the wishing well
Bite the apple and you get to hell,
laughing on judgement day
I'm gonna laugh that day away

(Solo)

You know he's gonna get a heart
attack 'cos he works late all the time
I swear he doesn't know his kids, his
wife thinks it's a crime
It's not the way for me, taking life so
seriously
When the end comes I wanna be
laughing on judgement day

'Cos now I've got a dream to sell,
she got her feet in the wishing well
Bite the apple and you get to hell,
laughing on judgement day
I'm gonna laugh that day away

Don't try to tell me it's gonna be ok
When the Truth is plain to see
Cos if I take a look out of my own front door
I can see the way it's gonna be
And that's not what you're telling me
Hey!

I see people being beaten in the streets
And the system won't protect them
Cos in better times all kinds of evil lay asleep
'Til the wind of fear can resurect them

How many more lives will it take ?
Cos our history could teach us a lot about today

So it's one step forward and two steps back
There's got to be some changes to bring the balance back
The floor beneath is shaking, and the walls are 'bout to crack
Cos the future train's coming down the hill
And we're tied to the track

I see a leader with an agenda to hide
Fanning the flames of this confusion
Turning fear into hatred, stirring something deep down inside
And he says there's only one solution
Look through that tangled web they weave
That air of freedom is everybody's right to breathe

So it's one step forward and two steps back
There's got to be some changes to bring the balance back
The floor beneath is shaking, and the walls are 'bout to crack
Cos the future train's coming down the hill
And we're tied to the track

How many more lives will it take ?
Cos our history could teach us a lot about today

So it's one step forward and two steps back
There's got to be some changes to bring the balance back
The floor beneath is shaking, and the walls are 'bout to crack
Cos the future train's coming down the hill
And we're tied to the track

Thunder - Between The Covers Lyrics


I melted standing by the water
Summer in the city, it was hot
She said "which one d'you think is the daughter?"
She knew i knew the answer, but she fooled me on the spot

They both look good to me and I knew from the start
That there was more to this than meets the eye
But whatever I was thinking, I found that I was wrong

She said, baby, don't think it over
'cause we don't play this game like all the other
Don't be surprised, the moment you discover
You're free to light my fire between the covers

And i said, Well, well, well
I said, Well, well, well

They drove me to a shop front window
And i thought that i'd been waken up in hell
They said, we don't do this for any guy we meet
And I said, that's probably just as well

And we ended up back at some Switch hotel
The cold champagne was going to my head
I was thinking hard 'bout leaving
But I hvae to stay instead

And she said, baby, don't think it over
'cause we don't play this game like all the other
Don't be surprised, the moment you discover
You're free to light my fire between the covers

Alright!

They both look good to me and I knew from the start
That there was more to this than meets the eye
But whatever I was thinking, I found that I was wrong


And she said, baby, don't think it over
'cause we don't play this game like all the other
Don't be surprised, the moment you discover
You're free to light my fire between the covers

And i said, Well, well, well
Well, well, well
Well, well, well
Well well
Well, well, well
Baby

Flawed to perfection, baby, flawed
to perfection, yeah
Flawed to perfection, baby

You know it sends me half crazy
driving down the strip
It's one place in the world I could
lose my grip
I fall in love so easy, got to bit my lip
every time
I see a silicone sister in a black sedan
She stopped the other traffic just by
raising her hand
I feel so happy I was born a man,
she's so fine

Did I see her in a magazine?
Right off the top shelf, you know
just what I mean
She's like a loving machine

Chorus:
She's flawed to perfection
Flawed to perfection, baby, flawed
to perfection, yeah
So fine - flawed to perfection, baby -
all mine - flawed to perfection, yeah

There's a ladder in her stocking that
I'd love to climb
I'm hot under the collar for the
hundredth time
If the girls in California gonna make
me blind, that's all right
'Cos when she put that red dress on,
she knew what it would do
To every single guy including me and
you
She wears it just the way she's
s'posed to do, it's so tight

And if my thoughts are gonna send
me to hell
She ain't no angel, 'cos I know she
knows darn well
The way she's ringing my bell

chorus

(Solo)

She makes me feel so good, she
makes me feel so good
She really gets me high, I got to
make her mine

And if my thoughts are gonna send
me to hell
She ain't no angel, 'cos I know she
knows darn well
The way she's ringing my bell, ooh
she rings it so well

chorus

Flawed to perfection, baby, flawed
to perfection, yeah (repeats 2x)

I want ya, and I need ya...

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.

She was burning up with that white line fever
She said "tie me up", but I couldn't get near her
She was walking that fine line, stumbling all over the edge
Shaking like a leaf as high as a kite
I tried to leave but she didn't want to say goodnight

Chorus:
The girl's going out of her head, she's going crazy
Girl's going out of her head, she don't want to stop

She said "life's a bitch living in the fast lane
But my Daddy's rich so I shouldn't complain
I've got money if you want it, so much I can throw it away"
Then she held a gun right up to my head
I could have run but I didn't want to taste the lead

The girl's going out of her head, she's going crazy
Girl's going out of her head, she don't want to stop

She's going crazy

(Solo)

She was walking that fine line, stumbling all over the edge
Shaking like a leaf as high as a kite
I tried to leave but she, but she, she didn't want to say goodnight

The girl's going out of her head, she's going crazy
Girl's going out of her head, she don't want to stop

I said the girl's going out of her head, the girl's going out of her head
The girl's going out of her head, the girl's going out of her head
She's going crazy

If I could travel back to yesterday,
there are some things I'd like to
change
I might've hurt some people along
the way
But I've been hurt myself just the
same
But now if I hear talk behind my back
It's fuel to the fire, keeps me on the
track I know
They won't cause me no pain,
they're just feeding the flame, oh
baby

I hear people cry and people moan,
about the hand that they've been
dealt
And I know luck can be so hard
sometimes
But you got to make it happen for
yourself
Some are bitter, some will criticize
And when they're right in your face,
they can be so nice, oh no
Don't let them drive you insane,
they're just feeding the flame

Chorus:
They're just feeding the flame,
gimme fuel to burn, oh baby
They're only feeding the flame, they
ain't never gonna learn
'Till their bridges start to burn

(Solo)

Watch 'em burn

But now if I hear talk behind my back
It's fuel to the fire, keeps me on the
track
They won't cause me no pain,
they're just feeding the flame

chorus

They're just feeding the flame, oh
baby

[No lyrics]

Mama, tell your children not to go
Down to the city, where the
desperate people go
And mama, don't let them stray
They won't find, peace of mind, in
such a lonely place
Wannabes and losers, all trying to get
a break
They don't give a damn, they'll do
whatever it takes
If they climb the ladder, they get to
play for higher stakes
That's why there's low life in high
places

Mama, things have changed since
you were young
When you scream, in the dead of
night
Now no one ever comes
And a poor man, he's cast as the
villan and a thief
See him down on the street, begging
for enough to eat

Waiting on the corner, I saw her
waiting for the man
When the limo pulled up I saw what
was changing hands
I should've tried to warn her, and
make her understand
There is low life in high places

There is low life, like you never even
knew
There is low life, and it lives in me and
you
But we don't all let it through

Don't let 'em go, you've got to have
some pity
Don't you let 'em go
You've got to keep 'em away, from
the big bad city

(SOLO)

Waiting on the corner, I saw her
waiting for the man
When the limo pulled up I saw what
was changing hands
I should've tried to warn her, and
make her understand

Mama, tell your children not to go
Down to the city, where the
desperate people go
And mama, don't you let them stray
They won't find, peace of mind in
such a lonely place

Wake up on the floor like you did before
And you don't know what today is
So you shut out the sun until the day is done
But you can't run away from it

You must've done it all this time
And nothing's really changed
You pushed reality away
And still wake up to find
It wasn't all in your mind

And it's always the same
Another bad movie now
You'll go crawling back again, oh
Like a moth to the flame

Take it to the edge, stumble on the ledge
You're a candle that has to burn
Cos you bought the dream
And from the way that it seems
You're living in that other world

Where everything is beautiful
And someone else will pay
But you won't find an answer there
Cos the question still remains
You better hear what I say

Do you feel like the rain ?
Always coming down now
Don't you tell me it's a game
Cos I don't believe it
You're a moth to the flame

(SOLO)

Where everything is beutiful
And someone else will pay
But you won't find an answer there
Cos the question still remains
You better hear what I say

And it's always the same
Another bad movie now
You'll go crawling back again, oh
Like a moth to the flame

Don't you tell me it's a game
Cos I don't believe it
You're a moth to the flame
