Forest Fire (BBC Session 1984) Songtext

von Lloyd Cole

She crossed herself as she put on her things
She has promised once before not to live this way
If she dont calm down she will burn herself out
Like a forest fire, well doesnt that make you smile
If you dont slow down, i swear that ill come round
And mess up your place, lets go for a spin
They say we shouldnt even know each other
And that well be undone
Dont it make you smile like a forest fire
I believe in love, ill believe in anything
Thats gonna get me what i want and get me off my knees
Then well burn your house down, dont it feel so good
Theres a forest fire every time we get together
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo
Hey pick you up, put you down
Rip you up and spin you round
Just like we said we would
Cause were a forest fire
Believe you me, well tear this place down
If we get caught in this wind then we could burn the ocean
If we get caught in this scene were gonna be undone

Its just a simple metaphor, its for a burning love
Dont it make you smile like a forest fire
