Back In The Fire
Paul Weller
[Intro] [Verse 1] Dreams Schemes and everythings Fill the dusty corners of your mind As cars boats and aeroplanes Just remind you of a better time [Verse 2] As love’s hopes and everyone’s Anyone worth a minute of your time When unhampered by the agents Of the governors of the faceless so opaque As bare tree’s and winter winds Just confine you to - a bitter place A time you can’t face A peace of your mind [Solo] | | | | | | | | | | [Verse 3] We should be playing in the sunshine Happy to be part of everything Not handled greedy handlers Brought down and destroyed By their own ways Liars! Liars! - smoking on pipes. Dimwit fires [Verse 4] Who Just throw it in their way And how’s your father today Was he caught in the rain? Waiting on a Bed Putting up with the pain Your three wishes expire Now your back in the fire Lock the genie in the shed Put a pistol to his head [Solo] | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [Verse 5] Not handcuffed to some wanker Who doesn’t know me (and doesn’t see (that) our lives are made- (on) from all the efforts Of the masses And all the people who deserve a better - fate [Verse 6] Than a time you can’t trace No peace in your mind A time you can’t place Now your back in the race- Your three wishes expired Now your back in the fire (your three wishes expired - Now your back in the fire) [Verse 7] See you just can’t play Now without a say Always got to be the man Always got to have the plan- It doesn’t run that way Into the ether you’ll say (your three wishes expired - Now your back in the fire) Your three wishes expired - Now your back in the fire
