A Tendency To Start Fires

Lyrics

strange zoo
strange blaze
douse my
head in flames
comin’ through gotta get some
happiness is a bad son

forceps
kitchen tools
deconstruct
your every move
feel better when you’re here
guillotine just got here

back bend
back break
please yourself
to make it rate
live it all at your own cost
so many just got lost

leaning for fire
leaning to fire
leaning to fire

here’s tomorrow man
best of my ability
chasing what i can
here’s tomorrow man

instinct
bare boned
light it up
take it home
you will be all things
you’ll get what you bring
leaning to fire
leaning to fire
leaning to fire

here’s tomorrow man
best of my civlity
chasing what i can
here’s tomorrow man
best of my ability
chasing watercans
here’s tomorrow man
here’s tomorrow man

with our own tongue
with our own tongue

here’s tomorrow man
best of my ability
chasing what i can
here’s tomorrow man
and i’m century
chasing what i can
here’s tomorrow man
here’s to

Band Thoughts:

“This is for the future.”- Gavin Rossdale

(interview question) In Guitar World, you said that there was no slide on Razorblade Suitcase, but isn’t that slide in A Tendency to Start Fires?… “There’s slide in the b/ground and there’s a slide at the end of distant voices – I must have been mistaken.”-Nigel Pulsford

Staff Thoughts:

“It’s a cool rockin’ song.”- Laura

“More than that, it’s one of Bush’s best. I always thought the lyric was “Bleed yourself to make it rain” that sounds a lot cooler.”-Brandyn
