Great Fire Lyrics
Xtc
Great fire burning
You supplied the spark
Fores burning spreading through the ark
Animals are panicking
Im 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
Im animal and panicking
No round of drinks can extinguish this
Feeling of love and engulfing bliss
Bring water
Eyes bring water
Chorus
Ive been in love before
But its never been as hot as this
Smoke curling round the door
Memories of old loves crack and blister
Mister fireman bet you couldnt 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
