@ALBUM: BACKSTREET SYMPHONY By THUNDER Produced 1990 * transcribed by Frantic Freddy * @SONG: SHE'S SO FINE It was early in the evening, I was waiting for a train I was thinking to myself as I watched the pouring rain I need love, but I don't know where to get it Then underneath this big umbrella she walked in the waiting room I just had to tell her though it might have been too soon I need love and I think I might have found it She was some kind of priestess with a black dress on With her film star kind of features, she really turned me on And if it takes until forever and a day, I've gotta make that woman mine If I don't tell her then I'll wish my life away, she's so fine, she's so fine I said don't misunderstand me, I didn't mean to make you blush But when I got this feeling, I knew I had to rush I need love, and you know I want to give it I've been waiting for a lifetime for a woman like you I know I'm walking on a fine line, but I've got to see it through If I should pass away tonight while I'm asleep At least I'll know I spoke my mind I'm being driven by some other force that won't be denied, she's so fine (Solo) She's so fine I've been waiting for a lifetime for a woman like you I know I'm walking on a fine line, but I've got to see it through, through She's so fine, she's so fine, she's so fine Ooh, I took one look at you baby, babe it feels so good inside She's so fine, makes me feel good... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: DIRTY LOVE 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'... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: DON'T WAIT FOR ME Now I look out my window to the street so far below And I pray I'll see you approaching, don't know why you had to go It's been so long but I feel no better, I've got to say I'm still so alone Will I ever get used to this feeling and the nights so long and cold When all I want to do is hold you, but all I seem to do is cry And all you had to say the day you walked away Was "don't wait for me, goodbye" All my friends they smile when they see me I guess they know what I'm going through They don't mention your name to protect me Now what am I supposed to do? When all I want to do is hold you, but all I seem to do is cry And the last thing that you said and it's ringing 'round my head Was "don't wait for me, goodbye" How can I replace you? How am I gonna get through every night? All the time I wasted, all the pain I tasted for you, I'm losing my mind (Solo) Why do you have to go away, 'n' leave me like this darlin' I can't stand it for another day All I want to do is hold you, but all I seem to do is cry And the last thing that you said and it's ringing 'round my head Is "don't wait for me, goodbye" Don't wait for me, don't wait for me, goodbye I can't stand it no more, I can't stand livin', livin' without you... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: HIGHER GROUND I feel the wind blow on the corner And I'm looking down along this dead end street All the people are getting older But they don't give a damn their lives are incomplete It don't look no better than it did before And I know what's happening behind each door If I don't get out today, I'm gonna waste my life away And that's a part that I can't play Chorus: I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town, I can feel it driving me away Baby you and me were meant for higher ground, we've got to steal away As a young boy I didn't fit in, and I knew it then I wouldn't be the same But that was only in the beginning And as the time rolled on deeper grew the pain So give me one good reason why I should stay I think I've got enough money for the late night train There's a world you've never seen, but I've been there in my dreams It's calling out to me chorus (Solo) If I don't get out today, I'm gonna waste my life away I'm gonna waste my life away, and that's a part that I can't play chorus repeats 2x You and me baby, we've got to steal away, turn it on, turn it on ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: UNTIL MY DYING DAY I can see the fading sun, sinking at the edge of town And it's one more day that's gone I'm thinking 'bout the past, and the time that slipped away But I can't change what I've done Chasing after foolish dreams, I should've let go but I just can't seem to stop I don't deserve your loving baby, I don't know why you stay There's a child within the man, and it's keeping me keeping on Yet you always understand The future can't be planned, but I'm gonna keep fighting on While I've still got two strong hands Maybe I'll change someday, maybe I'll chase those dreams away I need you by my side now baby, 'cos you're the price that I won't pay Girl you're the only one to light a fire inside me You're the only woman that can make me feel this way I want to stay with you forever, I'll never let you go until my dying day (Solo) Chasing after foolish dreams, I should've let go but I just can't seem to stop I don't deserve your loving baby, and I don't know why you stay Hey baby you're the only one to light a fire inside me You're the only woman that can make me feel this way I want to stay with you forever, I'll never let you go until my dying day Until my dying day I don't deserve your loving baby, I don't know why you stay I need you by my side now baby, 'cos you're the price that I won't pay I don't deserve your loving baby, I don't know why you stay I need you by my side now baby, I don't know, I don't know ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: BACKSTREET SYMPHONY 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... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: LOVE WALKED IN 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 Chorus: 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 (Solo) 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, that familiar feeling I had 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: AN ENGLISHMAN ON HOLIDAY Laying down in this Spanish bar, that last slammer hit me like a car I've got the 6 a.m. Balearic blues, can't even focus on my own tattoos I had a fight with this German guy, I saw him give my little girl the eye While he was trying hard to be so cool, I hit him with a stool Oh yes, alright, I'll be going all night Gonna drink 'til they take me away, I'm an Englishman on holiday Every year I get to do the same, I meet the boys and get on the plane We like to sing and shout out "here we go" 'Cos they're the only words that we all know We've got the loudest shirts you've ever seen We're gonna take the beaches like a team We've got so much duty free to drink, enough to float a ship Oh yeah alright, I'll be going all night So light the paper, get out of the way, I'm an Englishman on holiday We never look for trouble at the start, but it always comes our way We've got our pride and we just can't walk away (Solo) This morning I woke up inside a cell They dragged me screaming out of my hotel I don't remember what it was I did But I've got this drummer banging in my head I've got to get out 'fore I miss the plane, next summer I'll be back again I'll be fighting for the Union Jack, if they let me back Oh yes, alright, I'll be going all night Gonna drink 'til they take me away, I'm an Englishman on holiday... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: GIRL'S GOING OUT OF HER HEAD She was burning up with that white line fever She said "tie me up", but I couldn't get near her She was walking that fine line, stumbling all over the edge Shaking like a leaf as high as a kite I tried to leave but she didn't want to say goodnight Chorus: The girl's going out of her head, she's going crazy Girl's going out of her head, she don't want to stop She said "life's a bitch living in the fast lane But my Daddy's rich so I shouldn't complain I've got money if you want it, so much I can throw it away" Then she held a gun right up to my head I could have run but I didn't want to taste the lead chorus She's going crazy (Solo) She was walking that fine line, stumbling all over the edge Shaking like a leaf as high as a kite I tried to leave but she, but she, she didn't want to say goodnight chorus repeats 2x I said the girl's going out of her head, the girl's going out of her head The girl's going out of her head, the girl's going out of her head She's going crazy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: GIMME SOME LOVIN' Well my temperature's rising and my feet are on the floor Twenty people knocking 'cos they're wanting some more Let me in baby, I don't know what you've got But you'd better take it easy, this place is hot Chorus: I'm so glad we made it, I'm so glad we made it You've gotta gimme some lovin' (gimme some lovin') Gimme some lovin' (gimme gimme some lovin'), gimme some lovin' every day Well I feel so good, everything is sounding hot Better take it easy 'cos the place is on fire Been a hard day and I don't know what to do Wait a minute baby, it could happen to you chorus Well I feel so good, everybody's getting high Better take it easy 'cos the place is on fire Been a hard day and nothing went too good Now I'm gonna relax honey, everybody should chorus Gimme some lovin' (gimme some lovin') I need it (Gimme gimme some lovin') I need it Ooh, gimme some lovin', every day, every day ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: DISTANT THUNDER Every morning I wake up, and I switch the TV on I like to watch the world go by from the safety of my home News is looking bad today, like it always seems to be I can't believe I'm so unmoved by the violence that I see It's a fact of life, but I can't cry anymore, 'cos it happens all the time Chorus: I hear the sound of distant thunder, it's coming closer every day Soon there'll be lightning crashing to the ground Feels like the end's not far away As we race towards the future, we're not learning from the past In the minefields of excess, you can hear the devil laugh He can see what's going on, 'cos he knows the signs so well It won't be long before we meet, on the road that leads to hell In the wink of an eye, a hundred years will pass So there's no time left to lie chorus (Solo) In the wink of an eye, a hundred years will pass So there's no time left to lie chorus It feels like the end's not far away I can hear the sound of distant thunder, it's coming closer every day I can feel it, can you feel it I can hear the sound, the sound of distant thunder I can feel it, can you feel it I can feel it, I can feel that thunder crashing down
