Fire Brigade, copyright Tom and Mary Erangey
I saw you in the window it was nearly spring and there was something fine;
Something new like kites in the air
a new song in my mind
Cigarettes and barking dogs
Fires at night won't chase me off
HEY!
YOU! Make up your mind
RISE!
Here we are then
Turn the lights on
Yeah we are the fire brigade
Put your boots on
Grab an ax, yell..... Fire!
Tell me what you want what you really really want what's on your mind
If there's nothing we can do and nothing we can say that's when we start to play
Pepper spray and crazy cats
Arm in arm wearing pink pussy hats
HEY!
YOU! Make up your mind
RISE!
Here we are then
Turn the lights on
Yeah we are the fire brigade
Put your boots on
Grab an ax, yell... Fire!
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
HEY!
YOU! Make up your mind
RISE!
Here we are then
Turn the lights on
Yeah we are the fire brigade
Put your boots on
Grab an ax, yell..... Fire!
Two generations and we're right back in '65
But we can own up while the ghetto erupts and smoke gets in our eyes
TV screens and window blinds
Won't silence us our voices will ignite
