Thunder

[electra 20,644]

you roll like thunder
when you come crashing in
town ain't been the same
since you left with all your friends

 

you roll like thunder
when you come crashing in
regattas in the wind
thats why your visiting

 

you act like fuckin mr. brightside

when your with all your friends
but i know what your like
when the party ends

 

just do it! just do it, don't wait
just do it! just do it, don't wait

 

you roll like thunder
pouring all your drinks
the party's lit and you my friend
have cut when it begins

 

you roll like thunder
you're tryna catch that wind
that lightning in the bottle
that moonbeam in your hand

 

and you try to see the brightside
when each new day begins
but your not satisfied
at the rainbows end

 

just do it! just do it, don't wait
i don't wanna wait!

just do it! just do it, don't wait

 

cause if you're on fire, you're on fire!
just keep burning!
til it rains, baby keep me ablaze!

 

cause if you're on fire, you're on fire!
just keep burning!
keep me alive! spare your blade

 

just do it! just do it, don't wait
if our loves just means goodbye then honey better walk away!

just do it! just do it, don't wait
if our loves just means goodbye then baby better walk away!

 

just do it! just do it, don't wait
cause i don't wanna wait!

 

just do it! just do it, don't wait

(just do it! just do it, don't wait)

 

spoken:
if you're on fire, you're on fire
you should just keep burning

 

(just do it! just do it, don't wait)

"to cut a party" in english is a common phrase meaning to leave. far more common than a completely random urban dictionary definition i had never heard of up until nick sent me it a month ago.

  it will forever be half cut for me, just like it will forever be "soaring, i am from the fire" in i can fly instead of "or an iron from the fire" idgaf

you my friend have left when it begins 

vs

you my friend quite drunk when it begins

 

idk, i still think the urban dictionary term makes more sense

no, it's not just like "leaving" i guess. to cut a party its more of a "cool" way of saying it. the implication is he's too cool for the party, and cuts just as it's kicking off.

 

some of the lyrics, notably, are british sounding or reference british party culture (mr brightside, etc.) and i think it may be a more british phrase.

my point is "have cut" is past participle and "it begins" is present tense, that sentence sounds weird 

[electra 20,644]

it...doesn't sound weird? like that's exactly how you would use that sentence in british english at least.

 

"you have cut when the party begins"

 

that makes complete sense?

 

"you have left as the party has begun".

when you put the verb begin in a past tense it sounds okay

[electra 20,644]

when you put the verb begin in a past tense it sounds okay

 

i mean it makes sense either way? like am i missing something? that sounds completely fine. if someone said to me "you have cut when it begins"

 

"you have cut at the point that party begins"

 

?

spoken english does not always follow the grammar rules you learn in school

"you have left as the party has begun" would be an extremly formal way to say this sentence, at least to my ears

yeah like i thought i was maybe missing something but as a native speaker what she said doesn't sound incorrect at all? but if that's how you guys are taught english it might sound weird?
