Bowie, David - (You Will) Set The World On Fire Lyrics






Midnight in the Village
Seeger lights the candles
From Bitter End to Gaslight
Baez leaves the stage
Ochs takes notes
When the black girl and guitar
Burn together hot in rage
You've got what it takes

You say too much

You will set the world babe
You will set the world on fire
I can work the scene babe
I can see the magazines
I can hear the nation
I can hear the nation cry
You will set the world babe
You will set the world on fire
You will set it on fire

Kennedy would kill
For the lines that you've written
Van Ronk says to Bobby
She's the next real thing
Crouched in the half light
Screaming like a banshee
You're in the boat, babe
We're in the water

You say too much

You will set the world babe
You will set the world on fire
I can work the scene babe
I can see the magazines
I can hear the nation
I can hear the nation cry
You will set the world babe
You will set the world on fire
You will set it on fire

    Midnight in the Village
    Seeger lights the candles
    From bitter end to gaslight
    Baez leaves the stage
    Ochs takes notes
    When the black girl and guitar
    Burn together hot in rage
    You’ve got what it takes

    You say too much

    You will set the world babe
    You will set the world on fire

    I can work the scene babe
    I can see the magazines

    l can hear the nation
    I can hear the nation cry

    You will set the world babe
    You will set the world on fire
    You will set it on fire

    Kennedy would kill
    For the lines that you’ve written
    Van Ronk says to Bobby
    She’s the next real thing
    Crouched in the half light
    Screaming like a banshee
    You’re in the boat, babe
    We’re in the water

    You say too much

    You will set the world babe
    You will set the world on fire

    I can work the scene babe
    I can see the magazines

    l can hear the nation
    I can hear the nation cry

    You will set the world babe
    You will set the world on fire
    You will set it on fire

    You will set the world babe
    You will set the world on fire

    I can work the scene babe
    I can see the magazines

    l can hear the nation
    I can hear the nation cry

    You will set the world babe
    You will set the world on fire
    You will set it on fire

    You will set the world babe
    You will set the world on fire

    I can work the scene babe
    I can see the magazines

    l can hear the nation
    I can hear the nation cry

    You will set the world babe
    You will set the world on fire
    You will set it on fire

    Killer riff, from Earl Slick.

    g.... ....

    From Jack White. It's 'Sixteen saltines' riff, almost the same.

    g.... ....

    @Vladimir Novakovic Just listened definitely similar.. Don't know if Slick has ever heard that riff, but similar...Apparently "You Will Set the World on Fire" is a homage to the Kinks "You Really Got Me".

    g.... ....

    It can be homage to the 'You really got me'. And even so the riff existed before, it's good song. I hate it when some DJs steal riffs, melodies and other stuff from good songs and ruin it.
    We don't know if Slick has heard White's song, but it is different when good musicians (and in this case well known musicians who don't need any more popularity) use some stuff in order to make some nice work. I'm just saying that Jack wrote that riff because he deserves it. :)

    g.... ....

    @Vladimir Novakovic DEFINITELY... Jack is a good man, with an abundance of talent. Which is always refreshing to hear, in an age,of follow the pack, talentless no hopers.
