Альбом Thunder

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

Better lock the window, better bolt the door
Change your number and dont take that call
In conversation, better watch your words
One wrong move now I'm gonna dig that dirt

Nobody's ever too big to burn
I leave no stone unturned

In the quietest moment
When the lights go down
When you dont expect it
I will be around
Only one intention
Wanna see you fall
Cos im that fly on the wall

Well i give no quarter and i cant be bought
No need to justify it if im within the law
Its only the information from behind closed doors
And if the public want it, I'm the cheapest whore

No need to worry, I can supply
Cos everybody's got something to hide

When you see that shadow
Or you hear that sound
When your guard is dropping
I'll be back in town
Only one intention
Wanna see you fall
Cos im that fly on the wall

You cant sleep when I'm lurking
Even though you wont hear any sound
I'll be digging your dustbin
If it's there, it will be found

In the quietest moment
When the lights go down
When you dont expect it
I will be around
Only one intention
Wanna see you fall
Cos im that fly on the wall

Should you ever change your mind
About leaving everything we had behind
It don't matter, for whatever length of time
I'll be waiting

Things are always gonna change
Every day is like another unread page
So if you ever feel the gypsy in you age
I'll be waiting

Cos I'm sure one day, that you're gonna find
That there's an answer to the questions in your mind
And when you realise that the answer's inside
I'll be waiting

So don't you cry now,don't be sad
Just keep the memory of the good times that we had
You might discover,going back aint all that bad
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting forever

Cos I'm sure one day, that you're gonna find
That there's an answer to the questions in your mind
And when you realise that the answer's are there inside
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting

Should you ever change your mind
About leaving everything we had behind
It don't matter, any place or any time
I'll be waiting
Mmm I'll Be waiting
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting

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

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

She can't see him stumbling through the door
She don't hear him laying down the law
She can't feel him strike her to the floor
She can't reach him, there's no use anymore

Tells herself she's still the man she loves
She cries till the river runs dry
And he'll be sorry when the morning comes
She cries till the river runs dry
Till the river runs dry

She remembers the way it used to be
They were young then amd life was so carefree
Every mountain was small enough to climb
She hangs on to every memory sublime

As he slips into a restless sleep
She cries till the river runs dry
And she blames the whole world for his scars so deep
She cries till the river runs dry
Till the river runs dry

There were so many times before,
When she'd walked right out the door
She's tried so hard to leave him
But when she sees him breaking down
He knows she'll come around
She can't see past his tears, or all those years

Tells herself she's still the man she loves
She cries till the river runs dry
And he'll be sorry when the morning comes
She cries till the river runs dry
Till the river runs dry
Till the river runs dry

Till the river's all run dry

She can't reach him
There's no use anymore

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

I'm sorry I don't hate the world.
I'm afraid that I'm not disturbed.
I'm sorry, that I dont do drugs, I hope you understand.
I can't talk my life in hell, or a suicide attempt that did not go well,
no life of crime , no misery. What you see is what you get.
And i don't believe in dwelling on a darkest side,
coz there is enough bad new on the television every night.
So I don't need , need some little punk who's latest star,
telling me over and over again, life is such a drag
when you're in a band.

What is it coming to, when everyone's talking through their heads.
And we all heard it all before.
What happened to honesty? The way that it looks to me.
Is everybody's in in it trying to get somewehere.
Adn trying to justify it, PREACHING FROM A CHAIR.

Please forgive me if the clothes's ain't right.
I wouldnt want you hanging with uncool guy.
No flanell shirt and no tattoos, maybe I should grow a beard.
Don't ya tell me what I oghta think.
Which cigarettes to smoke and what I oughta drink.
Don't judge me by the way I look, coz the clothes don't make the man.

I'm not about to be slave to a book of rules.
Don't want to spend my life trying to be somebody else.


I'd be wrong to beleieve, in every word that I ever read.
You can't fool all the people all of the time.
One man's opinion, is another man lie.

The makers of taste will be, patronising you and me forever.
And it's always been the same.
You'll enter the twilight zone, if you don't keep your mind your own.
I should't let it get to me, but I don't care.
I can't stomach bullshit, when it's PREACHING FROM A CHAIR.

I'm sorry that I like the sun.
I'm sorry to say I'dont want to own a gun.
Coz if my number's up that's allright, sometime we all got to go.
So many version of the world outside.
Reality is getting hard to find.
So many people with an axe to grind.
It's hard to know who to believe.

Don't lecture me, untill you know what truth is,
take a good look inside before you critise everyone else.
Your jealousy ain't enough to a reason to justify
to telling me where I went wrong.
So don't try to do it.
Cuz all you ever do is, sing the same old song.
And noone want's the hear,
PREACHING FROM A CHAIR.

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

Don't wanna go out don't know who I'll meetDon't wanna breathe that filthy air on the streetDon't make me burn 'neath that hole in the skyI'm too scared to live and I'm too young to die
Don't get the door it's the man from the bankHe wants my house but I won't give it backHere comes the vultures as I'm starting to tryI'm too scared to live but I'm too broke to die
Stop smoking, stop drinkingIt's not even safe no more ... sleeping with women
I gave up driving I thought I might crashAnd I can't go private cos I ain't got the cashExpensive business this keeping your healthThat's why I'm too scared to live cos I ain't got the wealth

Stop whinging, stop moaningBut it's hard enjoying life, when I can't do nothing
(SOLO)
Can't drink the water can't swim in the seaAnd my television's too corrupting for meThen someone told me it's wrong eating meatI'm too scared to live and now I'm too scared to eat
I'm so depressed just can't take it no moreI don't know what I'm even living forOne thing that keeps me from a suicideI'm too scared to live but I'm too scared to die
Keep trying, keep fightingThat's easy for you to say, but I feel like crying

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

Goodbye little angel, so young and so sweet
So long little angel, taken so young from the street
Now you're gone, all the world can feel the pain
Like a light went out somewhere

Goodbye little angel, it's so hard to understand
What makes somebody do that ? What makes that kind of man ?
But you're gone and things will never be the same
I feel your tears when it rains
And though I try I can't explain
Where's the sense in it all ?

We cover our eyes cover our eyes cover our eyes
Cos we don't wanna see this
We hope it's a lie hope it's a lie hope it's a lie Cos our world isn't like this

It's too random to believe in, how could anyone concieve it ?
It's so sad, but it happened in this town
There's no words of consolation, there's no reasoned explanation
Just the fact that it happened in this town

(SOLO)


Goodbye little angel, so young and so sweet
So long little angel, taken so young from the street
But now you're gone, and things will never be the same

We cover our eyes cover our eyes cover our eyes
Cos we don't wanna see this
We hope it's a lie hope it's a lie hope it's a lie Cos our world isn't like this

How could anybody do it ? There's no rhyme or reason to it
It's so sad, but it happened in this town
There's no words of consolation, there's no reasoned explanation
Just the fact that it happened in this town
It really happened in this town
It's so sad, but it happened in this town

Goodbye little angel, so young and so sweet
So long little angel, taken so young from the street
