Mott - Storm lyrics

rate me

(Overend Watts/Morgan Fisher/Ray Major)

There's a rumour going roung this place

That you've been hanging around

If I find out that it's true

I'm telling you

Gonna put you in the ground

There's a kind of misty morning

As I'm looking out 'cross town

Thinking 'bout my friends

Remembering what they said

An' making me feel like a real lowdown

Well I saw that smoke stack lightning

When you pushed me to the brink

You got me worried, you got me mean

And when I'm mean I drink

And then a lot of wild talk was flying

About a tall cat sleeping around

Well I dunno who he is but I'm telling you this

When I catch up with him I'm gonna mow him down

When I get there tonight you better be back home

There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm

an' when I get there tonight you better be alone

There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm

'cos when I get there tonight I'm gonna be insane

There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm

I've had enough of your lip gonna cause you some pain

There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm

I'm gonna jump on a train

Now you've burned out all my money

Just as much as you could take

And then your love turned bad and now I'm mad

'cos I made a big mistake

But if you think I'm gonna take it

Lying down like a dog

Well you'd better think again

I'll fix you up for good

I told you I would

And I'm just about to jump on a real fast train

When I get there tonight you better be back home

There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm

When I get there tonight you better be alone

There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm

'cos when I get there tonight I'm gonna be insane

There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm

Feel my temperature rise like a knife in my brain

There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm

Oh, slow down!

Cat's all running for cover

'cos there's no place left to hide

I've go a vengeance in my soul

And it will not be denied

You better get on your knees little girl

It's the only thing to do

I'm gonna make you sorry you were born

You better come right over get my hands on you

When I get there tonight you better be back home

There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm

When I get there tonight you better be alone

There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm

'cos when I get there tonight I'm gonna be insane

There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm

Feel my temperature rise like a knife in my brain

There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm
