Fire






There is a fire that burns inside
The darkest corners of my mind
A fire that I can never stop
That needs no fuel to keep it hot

A fire that burns without regard
For payrise or company car
A fire that won't be quenched with tears
That burns and burns through all my years

And it was lit when I was young
I listened as that young man sung
I watched his anger fill the air
And felt it burn inside my head

Then as the heat boiled through my blood
Suddenly I understood
That this was only just the start
And then the flames engulfed my heart

And like that flame I’ll never stop
Don’t believe in growing up
Pension plans and cosy jobs
I’ll hit repeat until I drop.
