lyrics

Fire flames like reason
Pour gasoline on magazines to keep me warm
You know, I'm tired of being
A casualty with mouths to feed in these four walls
Feel the flame rise up
Burning up the side of my face
'Til the television
Is my only comfort

l stay because you want me
But I don't wanna taste the flame
You burn until I'm hungry, yeah
And hunger comes up nine times out of ten
l stay because you want me
But I don't wanna taste the flame
You burn until I'm hungry, yeah
And hunger comes up nine times out of ten

Burn me up like fever
Alcohol's a sign of where I've been
Detour leaning
Skating around the points you're making
Feel the walls close in
Curtains cut the light on my face
Turn on the television
As my only comfort

l stay because you want me
But I don't wanna taste the flame
You burn until I'm hungry, yeah
And hunger comes up nine times out of ten
l stay because you want me
But I don't wanna taste the flame
You burn until I'm hungry, yeah
And hunger comes up nine times out of ten

Fire flames like reason
Pour gasoline on magazines to keep me warm
You know, I'm tired of being
A casualty with mouths to feed in these four walls

Now I'm tired, now I'm tired

about

Candy Opera Liverpool, UK

When Candy Opera released 45 Revolutions Per Minute on February 23rd 2018, it was a belated introduction to a very special band sired during Liverpool's 1980s golden age which has taken almost thirty years to happen. Lovingly unearthed and compiled by Firestation Records of Berlin and available on limited edition 18-track CD, the result is a lost gem that points to a million what-might-have-beens. ... more
