Storm

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
