Back In The Fire - Paul Weller

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
