Music
by Paul White
Lyrics by Phil Mellows
Performed by Briteside
This was written in the wake of
the LA riots, and several other riots by the sound of it. It became part
of the repertoire of Paul White's band-of-the-day, Briteside, and
featured on the Briteside EP. Do they still have EPs?
The Words
LA didn't mean it this way
Pictures from across the world
They sent us a blockbuster
With everyone a star
Hollywood to high street
Stepping out onto shattered dreams
Last reel to real life
Light the fire, light the fire
Light the fire, light the fire
Someone smashed the silver screen
We walked out of the dark
Blinking in the sudden sight
Of a burning car
Hollywood to high street
Stepping out onto shattered dreams
Last reel to real life
Light the fire, light the fire
Light the fire, light the fire
It's the same the whole world over
Someone's yearning, something's burning
It's the rich that loot for pleasure
And the poor that light the flame
Hollywood to high street
Stepping out onto shattered dreams
Last reel to real life
Light the fire, light the fire
Light the fire, light the fire
Bristol to Burnley
Light the fire, light the fire
Cardiff to Coventry
Light the fire, light the fire
Tottenhem to Toxteth
Light the fire, light the fire
Light the fire, light the fire, light the fire, light the fire, light
the fire
