Thunder And Lightning Lyrics
LYRICS:
Locked up in the classroom, waiting for the fight
Down to the schoolyard knocking the gate.
Into the alley meet up with the boys
Waiting for the weekend to make a little noise
Thunderous roar, lightning fast
Kicking the girls and we started to blast
Screaming at the heavens like a frightening storm
It was a Saturday night when heavy rock was born
Like thunder and lightning
God damn, it's so exciting
It hits you like a hammer
God damn
It was Saturday night, I was ready for the dance
My girl walked in holding another guys hand
He stood six foot six, he looked two miles wide
I was taking it easy till he took her outside
I was madder than hell, fit to burn
This guy had played around before but now he's got to learn
Standing in the corner, giving him a thrill
You can keep your lover honey, but he's got to pay the bill
Like thunder and lightning
God damn, it's so exciting
It hits you like a hammer
God damn
(INSTRUMENTAL)
Well the place started rocking, it was Saturday night
I was dressed to kill, I was feeling alright
Alright in the middle of the night
I wasn't ready for a rumble, but the mood was right
When he got up to leave
I stood in his way
I said "now that you've had your fun, the price you'll have to pay"
In the doorway up against the wall
When they play a heavy record then I'm gonna have a ball
Like thunder and lightning
God damn, it's so exciting
It hits you like a hammer
God damn
(SOLO)
Like thunder and lightning
God damn, it's so exciting
It hits you like a hammer
God damn!
We started to rumble I was (unintelligible) in
We were rocking and rolling and rolling and tumbling
I fumbled, he started to win
When they played another record then I hit him again
I hit him again, I couldn't hit him anymore
My hands were black and blue and my jaw was sore
Screaming at the heavens like a frightening storm
It was a Saturday night when heavy rock was born
Locked up in the classroom, waiting for the fight
Down to the schoolyard knocking the gate.
Into the alley meet up with the boys
Waiting for the weekend to make a little noise
Kicking the girls and we started to blast
Screaming at the heavens like a frightening storm
It was a Saturday night when heavy rock was born
God damn, it's so exciting
It hits you like a hammer
God damn

the guitars in this song r unholy & out of this world,totally 80's vibe-obviously the era when John Sykes joined the band.(im sorry i sound like the biggest nerd)
This is the best song about FIGHTING ever written, bar none! Phil Lynott is regarded as being one of the toughest musicians ever - he could throw down with the best of them.
Oh, and the above lyrics wrong in several places, especially the last half.
It's "when they played a heavy record then I hit him again", "my HANDS were black and blue" (or hand), "frightening storm", etc.
this song is amazing to say the least
Does this song make anyone else want to FIGHT A PANTHER WITH THEIR BARE FUCKING HANDS?
