about

A delightful mixture of swing beats, changing time signatures and the usual quirks and energy that our fans seem to love. With its extended middle section, we imagine that it will take people by surprise when we launch into the final verse and remind them that it’s still the same song! The story follows a pyromaniac who believes that fire loves him as much as he loves fire.

The CIA staff say: If our patients truly love fire in the same way as the subject of this song, they'll find themselves very cold this winter.

lyrics

He was a fire starter
We are the fire starters

She's alive and she loves me
She's alive and she's hungry
She's alive and she's beautiful
I love the dancing blaze
She's alive and she loves me
She's alive and she's hungry
She's alive and she's beautiful
The fire that burns for days

She's the tygress
Burning bright

Pretty embers
Sparks of beauty
Stoke the fire
The flame shall us all in time
Pretty embers
Sparks of beauty
Stoke the fire
The flame shall us all in time

With her immortal
Hand and eye

Do you think it's strange to be
In love with this catastrophe?
Do you think it's strange to love
A beauty I can never touch?

I am Prometheus
Nature's rage, my bride
I will dance with this titan
And sleep now in the fire

Thank you God for your creation
Now this fire will cleanse the world
Thank you God for your creation
Now sit back and watch it burn
Send the world unto the fire
It's nature's way. It's...it's nature's choice
Throw a stone into a tear
Sending ripples of hope and fear

She dances, so graceful
The anima alive
The colours...the heat...
The light...so wise...
She's dangerous...unstoppable
She gives as she takes
She's her and now she's gone
She burns the sin away


Do you think it's strange to be
In love with this catastrophe?
Do you think it's strange to love
A beauty I can never touch?

She's alive and she loves me
She's alive and she's hungry
She's alive and she's beautiful
I love the dancing blaze
She's alive and she loves me
She's alive and she's hungry
She's alive and she's beautiful
The fire that burns for days

She's alive!
She's alive!
She's alive!
She's alive!
