Thundering in Songtext

von Dougie MacLean

You found chances in this place
To build upon your affluence and build
Upon your grace
You?d have come sooner if you?d known
Now you're brushing up the velvet an
The beads upon your throne
CHORUS
You come thundering in
You come thundering in
You want and you're taking plenty
And all the things that we knew
You've plundered them through
And you'll drink till our cup is empty
Blindly thundering
Once the old ones used to meet
With stories told before the fire ? the
Whisky tasted sweet
You did not want them to be seen
Now you're polishing the vinyl and your
Video machine
CHORUS

How can you repay them for stealing
Their pride
For stealing the place that they keep
Deep inside
So you'll move these ancient stones
You'll cut away these green and spreading
Towers that have grown
And when we ask you where they've gone
Well you polish your excuses for the
?made man? must move on
CHORUS
