Nur Ein VIII - Firestorm

Post by frankie big face »

Firestorm - Frankie Big Face

There’s a firestorm in her eyes
Ever since you said your goodbyes
Floating embers and ash collect in rings that cloud her sight

And I’ve been true to my daily commute
Stitched up tight in my inflammable suit
First responder on the scene for all that she ignites

And she cries
“Ooh, ooh, ooh...
“Ooh, ooh, ooh....
“I’ll never make it alone.”

There’s a firestorm in my heart
It’s been brewing from a very early start
And now it’s burning a hole through the middle of my chest

Get the extinguisher and pull out the pin
Let the carbon dioxide sink in
Help me into a state of rapt cardiac arrest

But she cries
“Ooh, ooh, ooh...
“Ooh, ooh, ooh....
“I’ll never make it alone.”

You know our days here are numbered
And our nights are drawing in
And I’m begging you to see me
For the man that I have been
For the man that I have been

There’s a firestorm in your head
It’ll burn until you put it to bed
When the fields have all been cleared, you’ll finally know
What it really means to be alone.

(THIS SONG IS AN ALLEGORY ABOUT THE COLD WAR)

you're looking cold - i've got an idea
let's make some friction, come over hear

let's start a fire!!!
start a fire!!

i've got the wood, you've got the flames
cmon baby don't be playin games

let's start a fire!!!

i wanna see, i wanna touch
i wanna lick, is that so much?

let's start a fire!!!

you've got the looks, i've got the class
let's close the door and make this last

the flames are on the rise
i can see it in your eyes

firestorm firestorm!
oh yeah, i like it hot
firestorm firestorm!
oh no, please don't stop
firestorm firestorm!
can't you feel the heat?
oh it's so dangerous when you get next to me

i am the bomb you are the town
gonna take that city to the ground

the bees will buzz and the birds will sing
gonna make the president's red phone ring

close all the stores, close all the banks
i'm rollin in with all the tanks!

you've got the looks, i've got the brawn
let's rock this carpet until dawn
If I had a dollar for every one of my songs j$ has called a 90s pastiche, I'd have $1 for every song I've written.

Firestorm
by The Tydon Docks

Gina says, that the planet's climate has been changing for thousands of years
Gina calls carbon dioxide merely "plant food".
And when Gina talks, a lot of people listen to what lovely Gina says,
Because Gina has 20 billion dollars


Gina uses her money well - sponsors "Lord" Monkton's speaking tours
She has a TV network and newspaper - so she can let us know what's on her mind
She admires African miners who work for $2 a day
A monument to humanity, is our Gina

And we keep digging up coal
And burning that coal
And selling that coal
Keep digging up coal

Big Clive thinks his industry is the victim of a plot by the CIA
And in his spare time he builds dinosaurs
Big Clive is a Big Queenslander who wants us all to share in a Bigger Pie
Well Clive, that's fine - but don't fuck up the Barrier Reef

Old King Coal is a greedy old cunt
Yes, greedy old cunts are they
Let's dig it all up
And make a quick buck
leave someone else to pay

But how many more firestorms, must we see in Victoria?
How many more years of flood on the Balonne and the Condamine?
How many more deluges rushing down the Lockyer?
How many more giant cyclones bearing down on Innisfail?
How many more "angry summers"?

How many more angry summers will it take
before people stop listening to
the stupid things that Gina says
the stupid things that Big Clive says
the fucking stupid things that Bolty says
that Jonesy says, "Lord" Monkton says, and Plimer says
the stupid things that Gina says

Firestorm - Paco del Stinko

Stained class windows - Voice of God
How I pray and pray - That you don't stop
I see the glances - I feel the scorn
But Baby Jesus - I've been re-born

You set off a firestorm, when you touch me there
You know it's not the norm, and you'd better beware
Mount Vesuvius, got nothing on me
And all the proof you have, drops you to your knees
Oh yeah


Green amber red - So little time
You bit the hand that fed - And blew my mind

You set off a firestorm, when you touch me there
You know it's not the norm, and you'd better beware
Mount Vesuvius, got nothing on me
And all the proof you have, drops you to your knees
Oh yeah


I'm a man, who's got a grip
I'm fair and honest, but I don't take no lip
I'm level headed, and I like to roll
But when you touch me there, I lose all control
I lose all control
I lose all control

You set off a firestorm, when you touch me there
You know it's not the norm, and you'd better beware
Mount Vesuvius, got nothing on me
And all the proof you have, drops you to your knees
All right
Bringin' the stink since 2006.

Firestorm
(Carlo Bruno Jr. Featuring Becky BrOwM, background vocals)

I'm in the mood. I'm ready for you
Let me know if you're ready too
It's time to be squeezed out
You set on fire everything you touch

I feel your power when you start a move
Can't close my eyes, nothing can be loosed
Better as closer, baby you know
Flammable breath. Sparkles in your fingers

Can you show me the new tricks you do?
Put your spell on me. I put my cream on you
Oh baby, i can't get enough
Set me on fire, it's everything I want

Once you start you cannot stop
Taking me higher, over the top
Seems like it comes to the end
But it's your firestorm running again

Your dragon loving style!
Just keep on burning all night...

Fire. Fire

What's making me feel so strange?
Why I can move my legs?
Too many heat. Too many flames.
I'm sure that's something insane

Maybe it's better not to look at your eyes
After the moment you crossed the line
No matter if I want or not
Baby I'm yours. Come with your firestorm

Your dragon loving style!
Just keep on burning all night...

Firestorm!

Cavedwellers- Firestorm
Words and Music by Escandon/Phillips

Verse1
I'm calling the firestorm by its name: it's a fabrication
The two sides have a lot to learn about coping with exaggeration
the lecture is conjecture a unilateral undermining
we’re swept up and then brought down, sense of decency is redefining

PreChorus
everybody’s weighing in
their hubris is betraying them

Chorus
Since nobody cares if you face the fire alone
You'll give your hand for a friend in a firestorm
everybody’s catching insults, but throwing stones
take my hand for a friend in a firestorm

Verse2
You choose words as carefully as a marksman would choose his rifle
And dead aim is all you need to take down all the snake’s disciples
In real life the targets move, and you're left with improvisation
the troglodytes come out tonight to feed the frenzy that’s culminating

Firestorm
by Merisan

Take me to the open sky
away from all this smoke
I’ve been burning all this time
can’t see another way

My father was a private man
his shadow walks with me
when I’ve had as much as I can stand
and my heart's about to break

And the flames begin to rise
until my body and will are torn
there’s no place for us to hide
from this firestorm

Oh sweet Mary, save my tears
I’ll need them again someday
I’ve been holding back for years
and my cheeks are dry

I stopped looking long ago
for some kind of sign
praying that my burns wont show
and reaching out for hope

And the flames begin to rise
until my body and will are torn
there’s no place for us to hide
from this firestorm

And the flames begin to rise
until my body and will are torn
there’s no place for us to hide
from this firestorm

Firestorm
by Ross Durand

When you were young you used to go outside
Throw your head back and spread your arms out wide
Open up your mouth to try to catch the drops
When the rain came down, you would skip and you'd hop
But you're older now, and things have changed
You're not so excited to go dancing in the rain

When you were young like that you didn't have any cares
But now you're just careless, as we're all aware
Leavin' ruin in your wake as you pass through lives
You see trouble comin' - throw your arms out wide
And throw your had back as if your only vow
Is "devil-may-care," well he might care now

And you don't seem too concerned
You fan the flames as they churn
You got a lot to learn
If you dance in a firestorm you're gonna get burned

Well you love the heat, you say it's good for you
But when the pan heats up, watcha gonna do
Just keep sittin like a froggy would?
Or make a break like you prob'ly should
You won't see it comin', even so
Just keep skippin' and a dancin' while the storm winds grow

Well you better not pout, you better not cry
When the drops of pain start fillin' your skies
Cause you're not dancin' in the rain no more
You're dancin' in the flames and when it burns it pours

I guess a cautionary tale would be a waste of my breath
Figure it out yourself instead
When the skies get clear and there's no one around
Just you all alone and the black, scorched ground
You might look back at your younger days
And wish that you were just dancing in the rain

But you don't seem too concerned
You fan the flames as they churn
You got a lot to learn
If you dance in a firestorm you're gonna get burned

[Nein entry]

I'm so very tired [he's so tired]
Of singing minor chords [they sound sad]
They don't make the sadness go away [still blue]
I am flint and steel [so striking]
You are wind and flame [hot hot hot]
Laughing at the scattered sparks I make [ha ha]

There's not gonna be any firestorm for me
You just turn and walk the other way
Putting down your torch, I won't carry it no more
You don't want me, I can't make you stay
Firestorm

Walking thru the ashes [the ashes]
Of a thousand burned-out dreams [we counted]
Still so many things I want to do [to do]
Dancing in the sunlight [dancing]
Laughing with my friends [we're laughing]
I'm not gonna waste time chasing you [no no]

[chorus]

Who am I kidding?
Not fooling myself
Certainly not fooling you
