XTC LYRICS - Great Fire

"Great Fire"



Great fire burning

You supplied the spark

Fores burning spreading through the ark

Animals are panicking

I'm animal and panicking



Your glance a match on the tinderwood

You never spoke but I understood

Bring water

Eyes bring water



[Chorus:] Great fire burning through

Great fire burning through my house

Great fire burning through my house and heart



Great fire burning

All because of you

Fires burning spreading through the zoo

Animals are panicking

I'm animal and panicking



No round of drinks can extinguish this

Feeling of love and engulfing bliss

Bring water

Eyes bring water



[Chorus]



I've been in love before

But it's never been as hot as this

Smoke curling round the door

Memories of old loves crack and blister

Mister fireman bet you couldn't put me out if you tried



Your glance a match on the tinderwood

You never spoke but I understood

Bring water

Eyes bring water



[Chorus]
