Under Your Thumb - Lyrics by Godley And Creme


Lyrics
I was standing in the stationbeing pounded by the rainso I chose the last compartmentof a stationary train
I felt someone get in behind mebut I never caught their eyebut I thought I heard I heard a woman's voicewhispering goodbye
So I lay down in the darknesswith the beer and coffee stainsand I stared out at the thunderthrough the broken window panes
And although the storm was boominglike an engine in the sky
I'm sure I heard a woman's voice cry
Don't wanna be under your thumb forever
Don't wanna be under your thumb forever
Don't wanna be under your thumbit's over and done
I'll never be under your thumb forever
So I rolled myself a cigaretteand smoked it on my ownbut it didn't stop the whispersor the smell of her cologne
Then she rose up out of nowhereand her hair was full of steamand she stuck her head out the windowand screamed and screamed, she screamed!
Don't wanna be under your thumb forever
Don't wanna be under your thumb forever
Don't wanna be under your thumbit's over and done
I'll never be under your thumb forever
So I picked up an old newspaper to readand I noticed something very strange indeed
So I looked a little closerand it chilled me to the bone"
Woman throws herself from speeding train,identity unknown"
But I recognized the picture of the woman who was deadand underneath the picture it said
Don't wanna be under your thumb forever
Don't wanna be under your thumb forever
Don't wanna be under your thumbit's over and done
I'll never be under your thumb forever
Don't wanna be under your thumb forever
Don't wanna be under your thumb forever
Don't wanna be under your thumbit's over and done
I'll never be under your thumb forever
