Thunder Album

BEtter listen to me, baby
It's time to speak the truth
You'd better believe it baby
I know I've got the proof

Cos I didn't catch your name
And I know it sounds insane
But I've got reason to believe
I was meant for you

Cos I love you more than rock 'n' roll
Trust me baby
I think I love you more than rock 'n' rol

It's the way that you move, baby
Such a dirty grind
Got a glimpse of tattoo, baby
But I knew you wouldn't mind

Cos I know it's got to be
And I, I got to make you see
That I love you more than rock 'n' roll
On my life
I think I love you more than rock 'n' roll
Say it one more time
I love you more than rock 'n' roll

Kinda gets in my soul, baby

So there you go, baby is my intention clear?
And now that you know, baby, there ain't nothing to fear

Cos I never thought I'd say, what I've said today
I guess it goes to show you that I'm sincere

Cos I love you more than rock 'n' roll
Can you feel it?
I think I love you more than rock 'n' roll
I love you more than rock 'n' roll
Yeah yeah, yeah
I love you more than rock 'n' roll

You got it going on and you know it
The Mirror really loves you tonight
She won't stand a chance for a moment
You're working up an appetite

You think you've got the situation
Totally under control
You're bursting with anticipation
But there's one thing you gotta know

You're a slave to the gods of love
A slave to the gods of love
You think you've got it made
On'y if you've prayed enough
To the gods of love

Ever wondered where's the logic?
When you ugly thing who's really dim
Meets a beautifuk intelligent woman
Who ends up oing home with him

We're al slave to the gods of love
Slaves to the gods of love
They've got you on a string
That's why everything's so tough
Blame the gods of love

But what can you do?
It's their game played out by me and you
On a whim they contrive
To make otr break your little life

You got it going on and you know it
The Mirror really loves you tonight
She won't stand a chance for a moment
You're working up an appetite

You think you've got the situation
Totally under control
You're bursting with anticipation
But there's one thing you gotta know

You're a slave to the gods of love
Slave to the gods of love
You think you've got it made
Only if you've prayed
Slave to the gods of love
Slave to the gods of love
They've got you on a string
That's why everything is so tough
Blame the gods of love

Feel the paranoia all around you
The Emporor's new clothes
Well no-one realy knows

On the fence there's no where left to sit
Through Never-Never Land
The balnd all lead the bland

And it makes me wanna cry
When we let the music die
But it's all about control
And I know

If it don't fit the picture
It don't make the show
God bless the corporation
But there's a line you gotta toe
And a risk ain't an option
For someone like you
Monkey see, monkey do

At your time of life you should be leading
Not cowering in the dark
Jump when you think you see a spark

Bit it's easier having no opinion
When all you do is wait
For somebody else to make mistakes

So you watch it from the wings
And just before the fat lady sings
That's when you're in there like a shot
Strike like it's hot

And it's a self fulfilling prophesy
You sat and you waited
Then you grabbed the glory
And everyone below you
Will grab the glory too
Monkey see, monkey do

When the sun goes down on you big-hitters
Cos the balance sheet's a slap, when kids won't pay for crap

And you centemplate it for a moment
Diminishing returns were al that you deserved

You might have got some off the ground
But nothing you did ever stuck around
And I wonder where you'll go, I don't know
I don't know

But if it don't fit the picture
It don't make the show
God bless the corporation
But there's a line you gotta toe
And a risk ain't an option
For someone like you
Monkey see, monkey do

And everyone below you
Will claim the glory too
Monkey see, monkey do

Cold water eyes, blue as cartoon skies I can't forget
She was everything, part of who I am, my one big regret
Cos it's over now, but a part of me's still waiting
Though I couldn't tell you why

When I feel the touch of your hand, but there's no-one around
I know that I'm dreaming
When I wake up to find it's only me and the night
I know that I'm dreaming again

Oh woah.

I see your face in a crowded place, time after time
and I take it hard, cos it's just my heart playing tricks on my mind
Cos it's over now
But there no use complaining
I've only got myself to blame

When I get the feeling you're near, but there's nobody here
I know that I'm dreaming
And when you call out my name, like a ghost in my brain
I know that I'm dreaming again

Oh, woah

Cos it's over now, and there ain't no use complaining
I've only got myself to blame

When I feel the touch of your hand, but there's no-one around
I know that I'm dreaming
When I wake up to find it's only me and the night
I know that I'm dreaming again

I know that I'm dreaming

When you call out my name, like a ghost in my brain
I know that I'm dreaming again

I must be dreaming
I feel you cal out my name

She's working the late shift here downtow
In the guts of the city
She's got a room no money down
And it ain't to pretty
But she made up her mind
To leave it behind

Amy had to run, it's alright
She's having fun in another life
And she won't be coming back for anyone
Now Amy's on the run

She's watching the young boys at the bar
All chiselled and felxing
She tells them a joke or two then stops
Just short of confessing
They know she's a man
They al understand

Why Amy had to run, it's alright
She's having fun in another life
And she won't be coming back for anyone
Now Amy's on the run

So she dreams of the day
With everything she scrimps and saves
They're gonna change her all the way
And it's not a crime
It's just that nature got it wrong this time
This time

She made up her mind
To leave it behind

Amy had to run, it's alright
She's having fun in another life
And she won't be coming back for anyone, anyone
Now Amy's on the run

You're dealt the hand of the litte man
Running marathons agains the wind
Underdog in the lions den
You feel them closing in
Nobody wants another mouth to feed
And no-one's gonna give it up
Break your back swimming upstream
You could do with a little luck

It's the pride that keeps you fighting
When you're stumbling underneath the weight
When you're dying inside but you can't show the other side
It's the pride that keeps you safe

Sometimes when it's all a mess
You wonder what you're doing wrong
Cos you can't chnge your horse midstream
Too late to sing another song
Bite your lip, take some medicine
Visualize a better day
Cos what's another mountain in the way?

It's the pride that burns inside you
Says you ain't los nothing till it's gone
It's the pride that keeps you striving
When you can't go on

It's the pride that burns inside you
Says you ain't los nothing till it's gone
It's the pride gonna keep you trying
All night long, all night long

It's the pride that keeps you striving
When you can't go on
When l hope is gone

I'm disintegrating, I'm faling to pieces
Wishing I was far from here
You, that's what it's al about
I've givne you everything
But it's not enough

Maybe I'll fade into the sun
Would you cry? Would you notice I was gone?
If I fade into the sun

You talk like I'm not in the room
Are you patronizing me to put me in my place?
I'm erased by you, you see through me on a clear day
But I know I've gotta get away, away from you

But when I fade into the sun
I'll be alone without a horse, no hat, no gun
If i faded into the sun

Overwhelmed by al the underhanded things you do
Is it fear or just illusion that's keeping me with you?
What's keeping me with you?

Just string the fool along while you're killing the time, yeah
Maybe there's somebody better you're hoping to find in your mind

Maybe I'll fade into the sun
Would you cry, would you notice I was gone?
If I fade into the sun

Would you notice I was gone?
Would your whole world come undone?
If I fade into the sun

Long drive across a dusty plain
clear my eyes, clear my brain
I guess I neded some time

You and I are at the stage
where we stay together or make a change
We both know that it's right

Avoiding the future won't cut it anymore
We need to decide

Cos I can't stay in this place all my life
Are we one thing or the other
Are we only killing the time?
Together or apart, better mke up your mind

I'm not trying to force your hand
I just wanna know where I stand
To get it straight in my head

Don't be afraid to tel the truth
Either way I'll still love you
Even if it's the end

It's no use pretending that this'll go away
It's been coming so long

Cos I know I won't be hapy inside
Until we realy talk about it
And I know there's nothing to hide
Together or apart, are you breaking my heart
Better make up your mind
Cos we're out of time

There's no right or wrong here, it's just the way it is
No need for disguise
Whatever your feelings, just look in my eyes
And you won't lie

Cos I can't stay in this place all my life
Are we one thing or the other
Are we only killing the time?
Together or apart, better mke up your mind

We gotta sit and talk about it
Till I know there's nothing to hide
Together or apart, are you breaking my heart?
Better mke up your mind, cos we're outta time

Cut down to the floor, then you're shown the dor
No chance, no space, they're right in your face
You're put upon like a second class citizen
Get to the back of the queue, you're losing it now
You'll get through it somehow
You gotta tough it out

Oh yeah you can't keep a good man down
I said you can push a guy around
But you can't keep a good man down

Tongue-tied, cast aside, needle in your pride
Walking home in the riin cos you missed your ride
It's a no win situation once again
You're sick of telling yourself that it's gonna end
What doesn't kill you my friend, makes you strong in the end

Oh yeah you can't keep a good man down
I said you can push a guy around
But you can't keep a good man down

No trial, no reward, don't fall upon the sword
Back straight, steely eye firmly on the prize
Pick youself up and dust yourself down
Spin the world on your finger once again
I know that you can, don't be afraid to win

Oh yeah you can't keep a good man down
I said you can push a guy around
But you can't keep a good man down

You can't keep a good man down, you can't keep a good man down
(repeat till fade)

I don't wanna hear you whisper, I don't wanna hear you moan
I don't wanna isten too you talking on the telephone
Always talking on the telephone

Nothing's how it ever should be, nothing's ever good enough
I'm tired of hearing all the reasons why you really had it tough
You really realy had it tough

It's the morning after the night before
And your paranoia's scratching at the door
you can justify it, but you're the bitch and you're the slave
With one foot in the grave

Could've been a ral contender could've been a movie star
verybody used to tell you you're beautiful and you'll go far
So beautiful and you'll go far

But time cam be a cruel leveller, time will kick your heart around
I don't understand why you wanna help it put u in the ground
Gonna help it put you in the ground

After a while the thrill wears thin
So the next thing you know, you're racking them out gain
So don't come around here if it's sympathy you crave
With one foot in the grave

I don't wanna hear you whisper, I don't wanna hear you moan
I don't wanna isten too you talking on the telephone
Always talking on the telephone

Nothing's how it ever should be, nothing's ever good enough
I'm tired of hearing all the reasons why you really had it tough
You really realy had it tough

Cos now they talk about you like you're long gone
Your reputation's sinking like a stone
So what you gonna do about it?
Are you big enough to change the way that you behave?
There's an awful lot at stake
With one foot in the grave

Leaden sky just like a mirror
Reflecting the mood I'm in
Raining hard like it ain't gonna stop
Making tiny rivers on my skin

Doesn't seem like so long ago
Everything I did was right
You moved the goalposts overnight

Woah I can't believe I was blind every single time
Woah And now it's come to this with one fatal kiss.

Tell me how long have I been a sucker?
I bet your friends all know about him
I suppose he's a hell of a lover
Did you go to heaven and back again

Did it ever occur to you
That you'd make me look such a fool?
How could you be so cruel?

Waoh you must have wanted it bad to risk all we had
Waoh when your lips met his for that one fatal kiss

Waoh you must have wanted it bad to risk all we had
Waoh when your lips met his for that one fatal kiss
I can't believe it's come to this

I can't spend my life looking over my shoulder
So don't say you love me cos it's over
No-one wins from this
There's just the bitter taste and emptiness

Woah I can't believe I was blind every single time
Woah And now it's come to this with one fatal kiss.
Waoh you must have wanted it bad to risk all we had
Waoh when your lips met his for that one fatal kiss
I can't believe it's come to this
One fatal kiss
