For many years, the group presented a ragamuffin image and a vagabonding lifestyle, travelling around Europe in a double-decker bus and houseboat. Their image was enhanced by their eclectic and often homemade clothing, and the very long hair worn by both male and female members of the band. The Kelly Family began to break up in 2000 and afterwards they performed mostly as individuals or sub-sets of the whole group and took on a more mainstream look.

Thunder
The Kelly Family Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you were never there
You were always lonely somewhere
I came donw to love you
But you were never there
But you're always parting somewhere
Hold on, don't leave me lonely
Hold on, don't go without me
Tell me what's the game now
'Cause I'm feeling kind of jealous
You're going out with friends now somewhere
I'm gonna get my guitar
And strum down all the pain
I think I'm going crazy, beware
Hold on, don't leave me lonely
Hold on, don't leave me lonely
Hold on, don't go without me
I'm gonna let nobody, gonna let nobody love you
Gonna let nobody love
Thunder bloody bloody thunder
Bloody thunder is on its way
Thunder bloody bloody thunder
Bloody thunder is on its way
Thunder bloody bloody thunder
Bloody thunder is on its way
Thunder bloody bloody thunder
Bloody thunder is on its way
I came down to see you
But you were never there
You just left me lonely somewhere
Hold on, don't leave me lonely
Hold on, don't leave me lonely
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, don't leave me lonely
Hold on
I'm gonna let nobody, gonna let nobody love you
Gonna let nobody love you
The Kelly Family's song Thunder is about trying to connect with someone who is always absent, and feeling lonely as a result. The lyrics suggest that the singer has come down to see someone they care about, but that person is never around. Instead, they are always "parting somewhere" or "going out with friends." The singer is left feeling jealous and hurt, but they try to cope with music, strumming their guitar to release the pain. Despite the frustration and loneliness, the singer vows to not let anyone else love the object of their affection. The chorus repeats, "Hold on, don't leave me lonely," underscoring the singer's need for connection.
The repetition of "Thunder bloody bloody thunder / Bloody thunder is on its way" may seem like an odd addition to the song, but it adds to the overall feeling of tension and frustration. Thunder implies a sense of impending doom or conflict, heightening the emotions of the singer. The steady beat and intensity of the chorus add to this feeling, as if the frustration and longing expressed in the lyrics is building towards a climax.
Overall, Thunder is a song that speaks to the universal experience of feeling left out or disconnected from someone we care about. The Kelly Family's use of vivid language and strong emotions make this a powerful song that is both relatable and cathartic.

I came down to see you
I made the effort to see you
But you were never there
But you were always absent
You were always lonely somewhere
You were always isolated and apart from others
I came down to love you
I came to show you love and affection
But you were never there
But you were never present
But you're always parting somewhere
But you're always leaving and separating from others
Hold on, don't leave me lonely
Stay with me, don't abandon me to be alone
Tell me what's the game now
Explain to me what's going on now
'Cause I'm feeling kind of jealous
Because I'm feeling jealous
You're going out with friends now somewhere
You're going out with others and leaving me behind
I'm gonna get my guitar
I'm going to play music
And strum down all the pain
And use music to alleviate my emotional pain
I think I'm going crazy, beware
I feel like I'm losing my mind, be cautious
I'm gonna let nobody, gonna let nobody love you
I'm not going to let anyone else love you
Thunder bloody bloody thunder
The sound of thunder, intense and chaotic
Bloody thunder is on its way
An ominous and dangerous thunderstorm is approaching
Hold on, hold on
Stay strong
I'm gonna let nobody, gonna let nobody love you
I'm not going to let anyone else love you
