Godley & Creme Under Your Thumb
I was standing in the station being pounded by the rain so I chose the last compartment of a stationary train I felt someone get in behind me but I never caught their eye but I thought I heard I heard a woman's voice whispering goodbye So I lay down in the darkness with the beer and coffee stains and I stared out at the thunder through the broken window panes And although the storm was booming like 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 thumb it's over and done I'll never be under your thumb forever So I rolled myself a cigarette and smoked it on my own but it didn't stop the whispers or the smell of her cologne Then she rose up out of nowhere and her hair was full of steam and she stuck her head out the window and 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 thumb it's over and done I'll never be under your thumb forever So I picked up an old newspaper to read and I noticed something very strange indeed So I looked a little closer and it chilled me to the bone "Woman throws herself from speeding train, identity unknown" But I recognized the picture of the woman who was dead and 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 thumb it'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 thumb it's over and done I'll never be under your thumb forever
