lyrics
FIRE ON THE CLAPHAM ROAD
Windows become kaleidoscopes
Touched by a Winter sun that slopes
Across the edge of tower blocks
When in a garage up the road
Some disused petrol cans explode
Somewhere beyond the line of squats
And from a window you and I
Soon see the sirens rushing by
(Chorus)
And somewhere a mother says
Don’t go out tonight
There’s a fire on the Clapham Road
And I watch the flames rise up
Into your eyes
And all the stars and all the fire crews
Are out for us tonight
Some children wait as night draws in
Desperate for some fragile sin
To break the boredom of their days
And as I pour another drink
I sit and look at you and think
Of all the dreams that went astray
As in the distance rising high
The orange glow still fills the sky
(Chorus)
And wanting you I touch your hand
And we both try to understand
Just what is that elusive spark
That sets alight the best made plans
Of boys and girls and petrol cans
That lay there dormant in the dark?
And kissing you on my settee
I trace a line above your knee
