1. She's Thunderstorms
[Intro]
[Chorus]
She's Thunders
torms,
Lying on her f
ront,
Up against the
wall,
She's Thunders
torms,
[Verse]
I've been feel
ing foolish,
You should try
it,
She came and s
ubstituted,
the peace and
quiet,
for acrobatic
blood, flow, c
oncertina
Cheating heart
beat,
Rapid fire.
[Chorus]
She's Thunders
torms,
Lying on her f
ront,
Up against the
wall,
She's Thunders
torms,
Hear who's you
r host,
Sounds as if s
he's pretty cl
ose,
When the heat
starts growing
horns,
She's Thunders
torms.
[Verse]
She's been loo
p the looping,
Around my mind
,
Her motorcycle
boots give
Me this kind o
f
Acrobatic bloo
d, concertina
Cheating heart
beat
Rapid fire,
[Chorus]
She's Thunders
torms,
Lying on her f
ront,
Up against the
wall,
She's Thunders
torms, in an u
nusual place,
When you're fe
eling far away
,
She does what
the night does
to the day.
She's Thunders
torms,
Lying on her f
ront,
Up against the
wall,
She's Thunders
torms,
Thunderstorms,
Thunderstorms,
2. Black Treacle
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Lately I've be
en seeing thin
gs
Belly button p
iercings
In the sky, at
night
When we're sid
e by side
And I don't me
an to rain
On anybody's c
abriolet
One of those g
ames you're go
nna lose
But you wanna
play it just i
n case
[Chorus]
Now it's getti
ng dark and th
e sky looks st
icky
More like blac
k treacle than
tar
Black treacle,
somebody told
the stars
You're not com
ing out tonigh
t
And so they fo
und a place to
hide
[Verse 2]
Does it help y
ou stay up lat
e?
Does it help y
ou concentrate
?
Does it tune y
ou in when you
chew your chi
n?
Am I ruining y
our fun?
And you talk t
he talk alrigh
t
But do you wal
k the walk or
catch the trai
n?
You wanted it,
you got it
But you don't
want it now
[Chorus]
Now it's getti
ng dark and th
e sky looks st
icky
More like blac
k treacle than
tar
Black treacle,
somebody told
the stars
You're not com
ing out tonigh
t
And so they fo
und a place to
hide
[Bridge]
And now I'm ou
t of place and
I'm not getti
ng any wiser
I feel like th
e Sundance Kid
behind a synt
hesizer
And I tried la
st night to pa
ck away a laug
h
Like a key und
er the mat
But it's never
seems to be t
here
When you want
it
[Outro]
Black treacle

Wanderlust
Clouded rainbo

She looks as i
f she's blowin
g a kiss at me
And suddenly the sky is a scissor
Sitting on the

Crushing up a bundle of love
Don't take it
so personally
You're not the only one
That time has
got it in for,
honey
That's where you're wrong
[Verse]

She looks as i

That's where y
