Thunder Album

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

Looking down from the mountains and out to the sea
You're aware in a moment, you're nothing in the scheme

Chorus:
But your vanity told you, you're more than a dot
And your arrogance keeps you, from thinking that you're not
So when it hits you, you're fading away
Cos you won't live forever, start living for today.

And the seasons are changing, faster all the time
Every day seems to pass by in the wink of an eye

Old man on the corner, laughing like a child
Clinging to a bottle, his broken eyes wild
Kept on a laughing, the people turned away
But he knows something we don't, he's living for today

So you crawl through your lifetime, a slave to the grind
But time overtook you, and left you far behind

So don't bother running, the moment is gone
Eats you like a cancer, but still you struggle on
Why try to fight it, you're dying anyway?
The future doesn't matter when you're living for today

(SOLO)

Are you living for today?

Looking down from the mountains and out to the sea
You're aware in a moment, you're nothing in the scheme

But your vanity told you, you're more than a dot
And your arrogance keeps you, from thinking that you're not
So when it hits you, you're fading away
Cos you won't live forever, start living for today.

You're fading away
You're fading away

Start living for today
Start living for today.

Just try to live for today and don't hurt anybody...

Tired and weary and fraying at the seams
So disillusioned
I'd forgotten how to dream for just a while
I knew a change would have to come.
So wrapped up in myself
That I couldn't see the truth
But the moment I looked up
I knew I'd seen the future in your eyes
And my life had just begun.

Cos they can take away the sun and rain
And everything I've ever owned
Let them have it all
Cos you give me something more
A love worth dying for.

It's been such a long time since I felt so strong inside
I know you're the reason
And the words can't quite express the way I feel
But they're all I have to use.
Oh!
Cos there ain't nothing in this Universe
Can hold a candle next to you
And now my life's complete
Since you opened up the door
With a love worth dying for.

In the morning when the sunlight hits your face
It's such a beautiful collision that nothing could replace.

Cos they can take away the sun and rain
And everything I've ever owned
Let them have it all
Cos you give me something more…
Oh Baby!
Cos there ain't nothing in this Universe
Can hold a candle next to you
And now my life's complete
Since you opened up the door
With a love worth dying for.

Tell me why you have to be watching me nearly all the time
'Cause even when I look in the mirror now, I see you standing behind
That's right, that's right had enough of accusations and fights
Got me wound up tight so don't wait up for me on Saturday night, yeah

I don't know why you're feeling the way you are, but something made you change
I tried to re-assure you so many times, but now I'm tired of the game

That's right, that's right keep telling me I have, then I might
You can say what you like just don't wait up for me on Saturday night

You keep on saying you've lost your faith in me
Keep on telling me where I'm s'posed to be
But now I've got to the point where I just don't care

Every time I pick up the telephone, I hear you there on the party line
You ask me if I'm sleeping with all your friends, but they ain't no friends of mine
That's right, that's right had enough of accusations and fights
Got me wound up tight so don't wait up for me on Saturday night, listen honey

You keep on saying you've lost your faith in me
Keep on telling me where I'm s'posed to be
But now I've got to the point where I just don't care
Yeah yeah

Don't wait up, 'cause I won't be home baby
Don't wait up, 'cause I won't be home
Don't wait up Saturday night, mmm
I won't be home,
I won't be home,

Goodbye Johnny, sad to see you go away
Goodbye Johnny, is there nothing I can say?
To make you think it over, maybe change your mind and stay
Goodbye Johnny, sad to see you go away

And it's so unfair, you had something there
And it's so unfair, 'cause there's something about you

Goodbye Johnny, it was different at the start
But she called you bluff and tore your life apart
And as I watched you crumble, I could hear your breaking heart
Goodbye Johnny, now it's different from the start

And it's so unfair, you had something there
And it's so unfair, 'cause there's something about you

You're making a sacrifice, well that's alright
But sooner or later there may come a time
when you see your life and it don't belong to you
'cause you caved in under presure, now what you gonna do?
Don't throw your life away!

Goodbye Johnny, sad to see you go away (Goodbye Johnny, sad to see you go away)
Goodbye Johnny, is there nothing I can say? (Goodbye Johnny, is there nothing I can say?)
to make you think it over, maybe change your mind and stay
Goodbye Johnny, sad to see you go away
(Goodbye Johnny, sad to see you go)

And it's so unfair, you had something there
And it's so unfair, don't throw your lifaway
And it's so unfair, you had something there
And it's so unfair, 'cause there's something about you
There's something about you
Something about you
There's something about you now
Something
'Cause there's something about you
Something about

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 wish I could find a way to make it right
I wish I could see an end to this fight
'Cos all I want is a restful sleep tonight

Maybe we're both to blame, I don't know
Or maybe we're both afraid of letting go
Just like a fire that's burning low
The flames are dying, and I can really feel the cold

'Cos I don't care who's wrong or who's right
I can't stand another day, I can't stand another day
All we're doing is wasting out time, just carrying on
When the thrill of it all is gone

I'd rather live all alone, than live in hell
'Cos it feels like I'm doing time, in this prison cell
These four walls, the stories they could tell
But they're in the past, yeah, and we both know it well

'CosI don't care who's wrong or who's right
I can't stand another day, I can't stand another day
All we're doing is wasting out time, carrying on
When the thrill of it all is gone

'Cos if you cast your mind back to the way it was before
I couldn't live without you for a day
And I don't want to kid myself, the truth is plain to see
It's time we turned and went our separate ways

I wish I could find a way to make it right
I wish I could an end to this fight
Why don't we say our long good-byes
and walk away, while we still both have our pride

'Cos I don't care who's wrong or who's right
I can't stand another day, I can't stand another day
'Cos all we're doing is wasting out time, carrying on
When the thrill of it all is gone

Ooh, why don't we say good-bye?
(the thrill of it all is gone)
The candle's low, I've gotta go (the thrill of it all s gone)
Got to say good-bye
(the thrill of it all is gone)
You know, I know baby

She can burn, she can sting make you do most anything
but you can't teach her
She makes you laugh, makes you cry climb a hundred storeys high
but you won't reach her

I thought my will was really strong
But this is war that's going on
She won't loosen off her grip until she's done
She's hotter than the sun

She's a sensual priestess like a lion in a dress
You have to feed her
like a wall in your mind she's a mountain you must climb
but you won't reach her

She's got a thing about control
But I ain't used to letting go
I see the lines of battle drawn
But I won't run
'Cause she's hotter than the sun

She don't lose control
but she touched my soul

She's as sharp as a knife carving her name across my mind
I won't forget her
She's a joy to behold like venus de milo
but she looks better, so much better

She don't know I play her game and though I know I'm just the same
I never thought that I'd be shot with my own gun
She's hotter than the sun
Hotter than the sun
She's just begun
She won't let me be, yeah
She won't let me be
Hotter than the sun

Father's gone crazy, he stares out the window all day
Watching the same streets where once as a kid he would play
There's no hope in his eyes anymore
He's forgotten what he was hoping for
And the postman walks straight past the door
There's no news today

Someone save me from this forgotten town
Or I'll go crazy in this forgotten town
'Cos when they lay me down, it won't be here

Mother's been drinking, she smokes nearly three packs a day
Once she was so pretty, but time's taken it all away
Every promise she heard was a lie
about the future, how it would be right
And I won't understand all my life
how she gets thru the day

'Cos there's no way out of this forgotten town
So you live your life out in this forgotten town
The only way is down, when dreams don't come true
No not for you, no no

There's no hope in his eyes anymore
He's forgotten what he was hoping for
And the postman walks straight past the door
There's no news today

Someone save me from this forgotten town
Or I'll go crazy in this forgotten town
There's no way out of this forgotten town
So you live your life out in this forgotten town
Until you're in the ground it's all you can do
It's all you can do now
No no no

Cosmetic punk, that's what you are
Dressed like a street kid in your brand new car
Your mom's a doctor and your daddy's rich
You don't want nothing, ain't life a bitch

(you're sitting on top of the world)
And they say that nothing comes for free
(I don't believe in a word you say)
No, you ain't fooling me

I scratch the surface, what do I see?
Your running blue blood
'Cos you're not like me
The world you come from, it's so far away
So don't come around here trying to tell me you're the same

(careful your bridges don't burn)
I bet you left an open door behind
(I know that one day you'll turn around)
you're only killing time

You think I don't know what you're doing
when you pay for drinks at the bar
But you can't buy the thing that's missing from your life
So get back to what you are

(you're sitting on top of the world)
And they say that nothing comes for free
(I don't believe in a word you say)
No, you ain't fooling me

Cosmetic punk, I see right through
you got your future all mapped out for you
Soon you'll be running the family company
And you won't give a damn about the likes of me

Cosmetic punk, what do I see?
Cosmetic punk, you're not like me!

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
