"Thunderhead" - original, Jess Chalker, Australia video

It's - I dunno... kinda about life catching up with a dreamer who stuffs around a lot. :O) Copyright Jess Chalker 2008 - All Rights Reserved. Been one of those days One of those days When you can't hide the obvious thoughts that race From your pantomime face And i've been there before Lived through that war When I shined up my armour But fell off my horse And they called me a thunderhead 'Cos of all the things that swirl around in there But they're trapped inside a merciless host Who's far too cruel to let them go Like trembling butterflies in spiders webs I could have been so many things If I hadn't clipped my own damn wings Why can't i just amount to anything? Is this what happens to you? We're cringeworthy types We stare at the night sky Writing dumb poetry about The solace in the city lights And we croon about love Like it's something that we trust And we listen to music like It's written just for us See us thunderheads live in boxes Of play pretend And we live off pretty words and fairy-bread But our seasons come in fancy dress And they leave our house a drunken mess And we wonder who'd invite such reckless guests I could have been so many things If I hadn't clipped my own damn wings Why can't I just commit to anything? Is this what happens to you?
