well you said
let’s be free
well you said
(i’ll be me)
i’ll be me
death row hearts
are hard to mend
why shoot myself
(for your sins)
for your sins.
all my love
all my love
all my love
all my love
well you said
(retribute)
retribute
well you said
substitute
(substitute)
(burn myself)
burn myself on your bed
your crown of thorns
(my crown of led)
ah, my crown of lead
(i wake up)
i’ll wake up
before i drown
(before i drown)
i’ll wake up
(i wake up)
before i drown
all my love
all my love
(lets be free)
all my love
all my love
(let’s be free)
all my love, all my love…..
we’ll hang ourselves
by the english fire
we’ll hang ourselves

Band Thoughts:
‘That’s so bitter, that one. It’s just a good-riddance song; that empowered moment of detachment. And craziness. And thinking, ‘Thank God you just said that to me, because you made me sick.’ ‘We’ll hang ourselves by the English fire’; which means, we’ll ruin ourselves by the fact of our repression. And, at the same time, that there’s no comfort in hanging ourselves. We’ll die by who we are. ‘All my love’, No it’s just bitter, bitter and aggressive. you can say ‘all my love’ and really mean- nothing.’- Gavin
“English Fire is pure experimental with the emphasis on mental. i was pissed in love and i felt angry and betrayed-a fatal meal for anyone to live on forty miles is pure dream”- Gavin
“I only did like four tracks on the last record (TSOT) that were a bit more electronic based. There was fucking ‘English Fire’ and ‘Prizefighter’ and all these tracks that were really pure rock songs. I remember playing ‘English Fire’ to Tom Morello and he’s like, ‘Man, this should be the fucking single. If I had anything to do with it, this would be a single.’ It’s really hardcore, strange rock; I was really proud of that song. But it just whatever, that’s the way it goes. People hear the singles and assume that’s the whole flavor of the record.”- Gavin
Best song you wrote this year? “‘English Fire’. I just like the fact that it’s so confrontational- and so physical. I probably couldn’t have written that song a year ago. It’s really hard and simple.”- Gavin
talking about inspiration for english fire …”I’m trying to push it. I just wanted to push. So much music has been made that it’s hard to…I don’t know…to push.”-Gavin
talking about favorite song to perform live…”I don’t know. “English Fire.” Most of them. All of them.”-Gavin
Staff Thoughts:
“Many people don’t like this one, but me? I think it’s very cool. It’s got the metal thing going on. Indeed.”- Brandyn
“I just don’t like it. Something about the words and the music, just don’t assimilate. I’m not one for disliking any Bush song, but this was the first and only Bush song I don’t like.”-Laura
