Under Your Thumb Lyrics - Godley And Creme

I was standing in the station 

being pounded by the rain 

so I sought 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
