Thunder Album

Welcome to the party, there's a new kid in town
Looking like a million, gonna bring your burden down
And he's talking about love, stamping out hate
He's gonna fight for the welfare state
He's got a vision of a better day
Rip up the past and throw it all away

Welcome to the party, there's a feeling in the air
Can't you feel the vibrations, bringing everybody here
We got the right face at the right time
Leading from the front, racing for the line
This train's a rolling so get on board
C'mon everybody, you know that you'll be heard

Oh oh, there ain't no better place to go
And all the doors are open wide
So come on in, don't you worry about a thing
You can't fight against this tide
Say welcome to the party tonight

Welcome to the party, where the future's looking bright
See the people comming from the left and from the right
'Cause everybody knows there's got to be a change
So many things we've got to re-arrange
We've got to bring a sense of freedom back
for everybody, yellow white or black

Oh oh, we'll be watching the fat cats roll
when all of the dogs have had their day
Can't you see, tomorrow's down to you and me
So don't you hang around outside
Say welcome to the party tonight

You're gonna love the show, I know
So won't you step right up today, yeah yeah

Welcome to the party, there's a new kid in town
Looking like a million, gonna bring your burden down
And he's talking about love, stamping out hate
He's gonna fight for the welfare state
He's got a vision of a better day
Rip up the past and throw it all away

Oh oh, there ain't no better place to go
And all the doors are open wide
So come on in, don't you worry about a thing
You can't fight against this tide
Say welcome to the party tonight

So don't you hang around outside
Say welcome to the party tonight
(come on in!)

I was running late for a night
downtown
Me and the boys gonna tie one down
So I took a short cut through an
alleyway
And this sound just took my breath
away

There she stood with just one guitar
Looking much too good to be in this
bar
I tried to leave but my feet were
lead
And the song she played just filled
my head

'Cos when she sang out that melody,
I heard a sound like a backstreet
symphony
My senses sung my head was spun,
as I walked through the door
I gotta hear some more

So I watched the show in a state of
trance
Staying 'til the end waiting for a
chance
To meet with her and make her mine
And keep her there 'til the end of
time

When she unfolded that melody, I
heard a sound like a backstreet
symphony
My destiny had guided me through
the bar room door
I got to hear some more, I wanna
hear some more

(Solo)

'Cos when she sang out that melody,
I heard a sound like a backstreet
symphony
My destiny had guided me through
the bar room door, through the door
I gotta hear some more, I got to got
to got to got to hear some more
Backstreet love...

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

Exotic melody, that I heard drifting on the breeze
It seemed to carry me along
and there she was just dancing on the beach
And she could really move
(Get down, get down, get down)
you know the way she made me feel
(Get down, get down, get down)

I was taken away on the wings of love
She was hitting me harder than a powerful drug
I was a passenger in first class, on a flight of fantasy
She was the pilot of my dreams

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na,
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na

I thought I heard a symphony and I saw the sun turn fire red
I swear that I saw time stand still
But it was only in my head
Ooh, well, I was inside out now
(Get down, get down, get down)
you know the way she made me feel
(Get down, get down, get down) - yeah

And my head it was spinning like a spinning top
She was dragging me under, but I couldn't stop
I didn't know where I was going, but it felt so right to me
She was the pilot of my dreams

(Get down, get down, get down)
you know the way she made me feel
(Get down, get down, get down)
you know she made me feel so good
(Get down, get down, get down)
so good, I've got to know her name

I was taken away on the wings of love
She was hitting me harder than a powerful drug
I was a passenger in first calss, on a flight of fantasy

(Taken away on the wings of love) - she was the pilot of my dreams
(Hitting me harder than a powerful drug) - yeah
Didn't know where I was going, but it felt so right to me
She was the pilot of my dreams

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
that woman's gonna carry me away
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na,
yeah
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na,
yeah, yeah
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na,
mmm baby
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Move it baby, move it mama

[No lyrics]

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

Talking to a friend of mine this morning
He told me how his life was gonna change
All the reaching for the skies
And dreams unrealised
Had left him alone with his pain
And he just couldn't face it again

I said, don't you believe in tomorrow?
'Cause today's just a scene in the play
You might get some bad breaks and you'll make your mistakes
But you can't live your life in a day

Fifteen years old and on the outside
You got your face against the window looking in
Old enough to see, but too young to be free
in a grown up world loaded with sin

And your folks, they don't get your frustration
'Cos they can't recall feeling that way
So you fight, and you hate, but you'll just have to wait
'Cos you can't live your life in a day

It always seems life went so fast when it's gone
but when you're waiting for something it drags no and on
You can't take no comfort when everyone says
You'll look back and laugh at today

I said, don't you believe in tomorrow?
'Cause today's just a scene in the play
ou might get some bad breaks and you'll make your mistakes
But you can't live your life in a day

cause tomorrow will always be comming
it's the one thing they can't take away
and you'll lose and you'll win
and you'll do it again
But you can't live your life in a day
No you can't live your life in a day
No you can't live your life in a day

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

Hey…do it now…yeah hey

Yeah, once I was a boogie singer…playin' in a rock & roll band
I never had no problems, yeah…burnin' down the one night stands
And everything around me, yeah…got to start to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly (yes, I did)…to disco down and check out the show

Yeah, they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die…
till you die…

At first it wasn't easy…changin' rock & roll and minds
And things were getting shaky…I thought I'd have to leave it behind
Oh, but now its so much better (It's so much better)…I'm funkin out in ev-er-y way
But-I'll never lose that feelin' (No I won't)…Of how I learned my lesson that day

When they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die…
Till you die…oh, till you die

They shouted (Play that funky music)
Play that funky music
(Play that funky music) Hmm got to keep on playing funky music
(play that funky music) Play that funky music
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die, Lord till you die

They shouted (Play that funky music)
Play that funky music
(Play that funky music) Hmm got to keep on playing funky music
(play that funky music) Play that funky music
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die, Lord till you die

Holed up on the tenth floor, listening to the radio
I heard it as the news broke, saw it on a tv-show
(You ought to be delighted)
(You should be excided) Yeah

('Cos you wanna know)what's the word up on the inside?
(You wanna know)was it just another suicide?
(You wanna know)you're always looking for that one dime head line
'Cos it's the only way you know

To hell with any consequence, you're standing out there now
Shoot your bullet from the hip, just watch it all come down
(But you're so short sighted)
(And they're all invited)hey

('Cos you wanna know)who's been living in the fastlane?
(You wanna know)underneath it you're all the same!
(You wanna know)hurting people, it's your full time campaign!

('Cos you wanna know) - every morning it's the same thing
(You wanna know)you get a kick from the silver aim
(You wanna know)if you think we're gonna drown in our sin
Then it's the only way you know

(You ought to be delighted) mmm
(You should be excided)Yeah
(But you're so short sighted)
(And they're all invited)hey
Mmm

('Cos you wanna know)what's the word up on the inside?
(You wanna know)was it just another suicide?
(You wanna know)you're always looking for that one damn head line
'Cos it's the only way you'll know

('Cos you wanna know)who's been living in the fastlane?
(You wanna know)underneath it you're all the same!
(You wanna know)hurting people, it's your full time campaign!
'Cause it's the only way you know

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.

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'...
