Ball And Chain (Shepherds Bush Empire, London 8th December 1994) - Thunder

Looking around your home town

Trying to find a reason not to leave

All of your friends don’t understand

You find that small town air so hard to breathe

Clock keeps ticking

You don’t need the life your living

Deep in your heart don’t you feel like running

Over the hills where the real worlds going on

There’s nothing to keep you here

So what have you got to fear?

You’ll never be young again

So kick off the ball and chain (get running)

Kick off the ball and chain (get running)

You work in a job you really hate

For a guy who thinks you’re just a waste of space

You’ve been telling yourself so long now

One day you’re gonna put him in his place

And wouldn’t you love it

Telling the boss to shove it

Stay where you are you’ll amount to nothing

It’s only a step in your mind and you’ll be gone

You know that you wanna go

Like the wind you’ve got to blow

So don’t you hesitate

Kick off the ball and chain (get running)

Kick off the ball and chain (get running)

Get you ticket and board that train

And kick off the ball and chain

You know you haven’t got a thing to lose

You don’t wanna spend your life in a dead man’s shoes

There’s nothing to keep you here

So what have you got to fear

You’ll never be young again

Kick off the ball and chain

You know that you wanna go

Like the wind you’ve got to blow

So don’t you hesitate

Kick off the ball and chain (get running)

Kick off the ball and chain (get running)

Get your ticket and board that train

And kick off the ball and chain
