The Jam - Funeral Pyre lyrics
[The Jam - Funeral Pyre lyrics]
Down in amongst the streets tonight
Books will burn
People laugh and cry in their turmoil
Turmoil turns rejoiceful
Shed your fears and lose your guilt
Tonight we burn responsibility in the fire
We'll watch the flames grow higher
But, if you get too burnt
You can't come back home
And as I was standing by the edge
I could see the faces of those who led
Pissing theirselves laughing and
The flames grew their mad eyes bulged
Their flushed faces said
The weak get crushed as
The strong grow stronger
We feast on flesh and drink on blood
Live by fear and despise love in a crisis
What with today's high prices
Bring some paper and bring some wood
Bring what's left of all your
Love for the fire
We'll watch the flames grow higher
But, if you get too burnt
You can't come back home
And as I was standing by the edge
I could see the faces of those who led
Pissing theirselves laughing and
The flames grew their mad eyes bulged
Their flushed faces said
The weak get crushed as
The strong grow stronger
In the funeral pyre
We'll watch the flames grow higher
But, if you get too burnt
You can't come back home in the funeral pyre
We'll watch the flames grow higher
But, if you get too burnt
You can't come back home in the funeral pyre
Well I feel so old, when I feel so young
Well, I just can't grow up
To meet the demands
We'll watch the flames grow higher
But, if you get too burnt
You can't come back home
Well I feel so old, when I feel so young
Well, I just can't grow up
To meet the demands
Well I feel so old, when I feel so young
Well, I just can't grow up
To meet the demands
Well, I just can't grow up
To meet the demands
Books will burn
People laugh and cry in their turmoil
Turmoil turns rejoiceful
Shed your fears and lose your guilt
Tonight we burn responsibility in the fire
We'll watch the flames grow higher
But, if you get too burnt
You can't come back home
And as I was standing by the edge
I could see the faces of those who led
Pissing theirselves laughing and
The flames grew their mad eyes bulged
Their flushed faces said
The weak get crushed as
The strong grow stronger
We feast on flesh and drink on blood
Live by fear and despise love in a crisis
What with today's high prices
Bring some paper and bring some wood
Bring what's left of all your
Love for the fire
We'll watch the flames grow higher
But, if you get too burnt
You can't come back home
And as I was standing by the edge
I could see the faces of those who led
Pissing theirselves laughing and
The flames grew their mad eyes bulged
Their flushed faces said
The weak get crushed as
The strong grow stronger
In the funeral pyre
We'll watch the flames grow higher
But, if you get too burnt
You can't come back home in the funeral pyre
We'll watch the flames grow higher
But, if you get too burnt
You can't come back home in the funeral pyre
Well I feel so old, when I feel so young
Well, I just can't grow up
To meet the demands
We'll watch the flames grow higher
But, if you get too burnt
You can't come back home
Well I feel so old, when I feel so young
Well, I just can't grow up
To meet the demands
Well I feel so old, when I feel so young
Well, I just can't grow up
To meet the demands
Well, I just can't grow up
To meet the demands
