Light a Fire Songtext
von Mick Flannery

The singer was the writer, he was of a softer cut
He wouldn′t come and join the party,
he'd be back scribblin′ in his bunk
The boys were going crazy, they were like drunken dogs in heat
They'd head out after every show and try with any girl they'd meet

Rock and roll baby, rock and roll, money, drugs, desire
The world is nothing, and life is less, let′s go light a fire baby
Let′s go make a mess

The singer's wife tagged along for a
week and the two of them would get drunk
They′d come and join us and all was cool, until they caught the bug
An all night drive to Berlin, we found some girls game for the trip
Booze was flyin' round the bus, and a fire was getting lit


Rock and roll baby, rock and roll, money, drugs, desire
The world is nothing and life is less, let′s go light a fire, baby
Let's go make a mess

One thing led to another thing, and clothes were on the floor
A married couple joining in, though one of them liked it more
The look on his face as he caught
her eye, and she riding wild and free
There′s nothing like a woman's pleasure to get up man's jealousy

Rock and roll baby, rock and roll, money, drugs, desire
The world is nothing and life is less, let′s go light a fire, baby
Let′s go make a mess

I saw him slip off down the back and she finished on top of me
And in the morning, in the morning, the dues were plain to see
He did not show for the Berlin show, nor did he show at the hotel
The tour promoter lost his mind, and the gig was shot to hell

Rock and roll baby, rock and roll, money, drugs, desire
The world is nothing and life is less, let's go light a fire, baby
Let′s go make a mess
