lyrics

please please please please
the fire in me

I've known you, girl, for oh so many years now
you're a wonder to me
we laughed and we played games
through all our childhood days
but childhood days they come to an end

well I remember, girl, when you'd first go out walking
I was still only a boy
they'd all swear you'd never part
but you always broke their hearts
the fire in you was burning too hot

I'd see them walking the moonlight lonely all alone
crying eyes cast down to the floor
and now you're turning to me you tell me our love has grown
and I'll be your man for evermore

loving you, girl, it would be so wonderful sweet
but please don't set that fire in me, sweet lady
please don't set that fire in me

please please please please
the fire in me

now here I am walking the moonlight lonely all alone
crying eyes cast down to the floor
and now you're turning to me you tell me our love has grown
and I'll be your man for evermore

loving you, girl, it would be so wonderful sweet
but please don't set that fire in me, sweet lady
please don't set that fire in me
please don't set that fire in me, sweet lady
please don't set that fire in me

please please please please
the fire in me

Robin Elliott London, UK

Extraordinary songwriter and performer.

Funnier and more self-deprecating than this makes me sound.

Forthcoming album There is a Land is awash with novel narrative strategies and novelty Brexit tunes.
