Tunes For Tuesday – Arthur Brown “Fire”
I want to try this out as a regular "feature". I have a very weird span in taste of music; thought I'd share some tunes I enjoy on Tuesdays.
Why Tuesday? "Tunes For Monday" just doesn't have the same ring.
Some you may like, some you may not, some you may not of ever heard of
My first selection was picked for its timely appropriateness.
Not that I have any sympathy for LA - but there's a lot of people there that don't deserve this
... mixed in with way too many of those that voted for it, profited from their vote, and deserve every bit of it.
And I was lying in the grass
By a river
And as I lay, the grass turned to sand
And the river turned to a sea
And suddenly the sea burst into flames
And the sand was burning
And I breathed in
And there was smoke in my lungs
And there was fire in my brain!
And I looked around me
And there were all these shapes being sucked into the flames
And they were rising and trying to escape
And I knew that I had to get out
And I looked above me and I saw a shape
That was smiling down at me and beckoning, saying
"Come on home!"
And I raised myself and I tried to get outta the flames
And I was getting higher and higher and higher and higher
And I reached out towards the shape
And as I reached out the shape shed
And my hands were empty!
And I was falling!
I was falling
Falling
Falling
I was falling into the flames
And I knew that I was gonna burn!
I was gonna burn!
Oh it's so hot in here!
Let me out! please!
You fought hard and you saved and earned
But all of it's going to burn
And your mind, your tiny mind
You know you've really been so blind
Now's your time, burn your mind
You're falling far, too far behind
Oh no, oh no, oh no!
You're gonna burn
Fire, to destroy all you've done
Fire, to end all you've become
I'll feel you burn
You've been living like a little girl
In the middle of your little world
And your mind, your tiny mind
You know you've really been so blind
Now's your time, burn your mind
You're falling far, too far behind
Fire, I'll take you to burn
Fire, I'll take you to learn
You're gonna burn
You're gonna burn
You're gonna burn, burn, burn, burn,
burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, bu
