Lyrics Back In The Fire - Paul Weller

Back In The Fire

Dreams schemes and everythings
Fill the dusty corners of your mind —
As cars, boats and aeroplanes
Just remind you of a better time
As loves hopes and everyones
Anyone worth a minute of your time —
When unhampered by the agents,
Of the governors of the faceless so opaque,
As bare trees and winter winds
Just confine you to — a bitter place
A time you cant face-
A peace of your mind
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.
Diamond fires
Who just throw it in their way-
And hows your father today
Was he caught in the rain?
Not handcuffed to some wanker
Who doesnt know me
(and_ doesnt see (that) our lives are made-
(on) from all the efforts,
Of the masses,
And all the people who deserve a better — fate
Than a time you cant trace
No peace in your mind
A time you cant 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)
See you just cant play
Now without a say
Always got to be the man
Always got to have the plan-
It doesnt run that way
Into the ether youll say
(your three wishes expired —
Now your back in the fire)
Your three wishes expired —
Now your back in the fire
