Fightstar - A City On Fire Lyrics






It takes a lifetime to pull all of the knives out of a nations back
This will be the city you lived in but never liked
Let's take the cameras and paint them black

Is this all that you want?
Is this all that you want?
Is this all that you want?
Is this all you?
Is this all that you want?
Is this really all that you want?
Is this all that you want?

London's just a burning fire
London's just a burning fire that takes your oxygen
A burning fire
London's just a burning fire that takes your oxygen

I hope that one day I will get the chance
To lose this hopeless race
I'll be the city on fire that will never sleep
I'll make you vanish without a trace

Is this all that you want?
Is this all that you want?
Is this all that you want?
Is this all you?
Is this all that you want?
Is this really all that you want?
Is this all that you want?

London's just a burning fire
London's just a burning fire that takes your oxygen
A burning fire
London's just a burning fire that takes your oxygen

London's just a burning fire
London's just a burning fire
London's just a burning fire
London's just a burning fire that takes your oxygen

A burning fire
London's just a burning fire that takes your oxygen
A burning fire
London's just a burning fire that takes your oxygen

Fightstar A City On Fire Comments
  1. C.... F....

    Love is just a burning fire

  2. R.... K....

    Can still remember the raw excitement i had when i saw that fightstar had a new song. I've been a fan since i was 10! Still an awesome song 😁

    Btw fightstar new music pleeeeeaaaseee ✌

  3. M.... ....

    Great to read some comments where people see the truth in this video on the billboards, it is the freemasonic way of telling us what they are doing to us, as then that allows them to harm us since we have consented by not refusing.  A great movie to watch is "They Live", in summary people put on "truth glasses" and see what  billboards are really saying.  The Nazis gave fluoride to the people in the concentration camps.  The music industry is owned and controlled by the same evil.

  4. D.... ....

    so few views, people have lost taste

  5. T.... ....

    We're still listening - still waiting for the new album.
    More eager every time.

  6. R.... N....

    Foda!!!

  7. S.... B....

    Charlie and busted is the reason I'm into my bands, if it wasn't for busted id be a hip hop twat

  8. b.... ....

    is 1:20 anybody elses favorite part
    HOLY ACCENT

    b.... ....

    He's so well spoken. He's amazing 💗

  9. P.... T....

    Can't find this on Spotify... no deluxe version of Be Human??

    P.... T....

    Cross out the stars isnt on Spotify either :| this is one of the best songs everrrrrrrrrr

    P.... T....

    It's on the standard version now, for some reason they've removed the deluxe version and fucked around with the track listing on the original album. A truly underrated work of art is Be Human.

  10. S.... C....

    So good.

  11. W.... A....

    aah memories, used to LOVE this song

    W.... A....

    Now you on that cardi B shit right?

  12. J.... B....

    biggest coinkidink ever, the release just before the london riots! ahaha

  13. I.... P....

    a soft song for a quiet moment ¡ ¡ ¡ \m/ (>_<) \m/

  14. J.... B....

    Brings back memories. Love it. :)

  15. k.... h....

    Fightstar and Charlie's solo music has became my new obsession. I dont know why I haven't listened to it until now ahhh I'm in love..

  16. E.... ....

    They remind me of a screamo band

  17. i.... ....

    Very Biffy Clyro, especially the "is this all that you want" vocal melody with the random high note, and the crazy riff. Probably the best Fightstar song to date - I don't know if they're ever coming back but, to be honest, I'm more interested in the upcoming Busted reunion.

    i.... ....

    Fightstar>Busted. No contest. If anyone needs to come back it's Fightstar.

    i.... ....

    @Chris Baxter :) Your wish has came true, if you didn't know already. They did an unplugged version of open your eyes on their youtube channel and are doing 2 shows in december. Possibility of album next year. 

    i.... ....

    Gareth Lawton finally they both came BACK xD

    i.... ....

    damn Busted came back too? lmao that's cool I guess, happy for the other people who missed that. STOKED as HELL that Fightstar came back though. the newest album is so good.

    i.... ....

    Sink With The Snakes slays.

  18. A.... ....

    I have the money to buy all there music. but i can due to me being in the usa? Thats fucking bullshit now i have to pirate there shit. This is why i hate digital rights distribution

  19. G.... ....

    Everytime I talk to someone about Fightstar, they keep saying they split up...but that's good someone says they haven't. I actually hadn't heard they're recording a new record, on facebook, I just saw a link to a vid that Dan and Alex had put up.

  20. R.... B....

    They haven't broken up. They're on a hiatus while they work on other projects. Said they're expecting to record a new record next year.

  21. G.... ....

    Alright Fightstar..its 2013, lets get that US tour in the works! Yea I said it, get back together and make a US tour and new album >__< lol

  22. G.... ....

    To me, Fightstar is ALMOST perfect! I think the producers they signed up with are good, but could've been better. I mean hey, its 2013 and I'm still waiting for them to tour the US LOL. Heard they broke up, but they need to get back together. Fightstar was my life :D

  23. m.... ....

    Great song and a pretty decent video for once. I never had Fightstar pegged for doing something political, and to some degree it kind of suits them.

  24. S.... O....

    Well then don't you have anything better do do? It's a little pathetic commenting on music you don't even like.

  25. S.... O....

    It says 'cameras'

  26. K.... ....

    "Waking up" to being vaccinated has had wonderful effects in Wales. And I don't understand what they're getting at with suggesting fluorinated water makes us subservient.

  27. P.... B....

    Best video ever. Love those billboards. I couldn't believe it when I saw it - actual truth and facts in a rock song video. I wonder how many people started to wake up when they watched?

  28. P.... B....

    What's crap about that? It's a political statement.

  29. t.... ....

    You my friend, truly are the definition of Hebephrenia.

  30. B.... ....

    Busted and Fightstar RULE!

  31. o.... ....

    It is, look in the description.

  32. L.... B....

    i dont think ill ever get tired of that ending...ever

  33. m.... ....

    Totally agree! And maybe the Anglo-American Plutocratic Jews really didn't want songs insinuating about them to get famous......Who knows..

  34. Y.... T....

    I'll tell you why, it's the lyrics. Personally I like them. But they're hard to decipher. Successful songs have lyrics that a wide variety of people can relate to. If Fightstar changed this song into a love/breakup song (e.g. "Your love is just a burning fire"), so that it told a story in the verses, this song would sell like hotcakes. Because the melodies are catchy as shit.

    Y.... T....

    Yosh Talwar always thought it said love until recently when I actually thought about it haha.

  35. m.... ....

    I still don't fucking get why Fightstar isn't more famous!!! must be a conspiracy for sure lol..

  36. E.... M....

    mad tune

  37. E.... G....

    Literaly took 3 years to realise I've singing the lyrics wrong all this time. :(

  38. c.... ....

    I never said there wasn't loads of songs already I just commented on this one.

  39. w.... ....

    Yes definitely, there are nowhere near enough songs about love already. I couldn't name even one...

  40. c.... ....

    Holy shit it says Londons just a burning fire not love is just a burning fire....

    I think Love makes a better lyric. But still good Song

  41. P.... B....

    Excellent video and messages. We need more of these!

  42. z.... ....

    Would be cool to see Charlie and his brothers make a little band and call themselves 'The Simpsons' =P their vocals would be awesome

  43. a.... ....

    like the guy said below, the lyrics are "London's just a burning fire".

  44. S.... ....

    Why would it be called 'A City on Fire' if the lyrics were "love is just a burning fire..."?

    Not that love songs aren't cool and everything but clearly this is not one of those.

  45. S.... R....

    There seems to be a lot of confusion with the lyrics, it's actually "London's just a burning fire that takes your oxygen" representing the corruption of government choking us, notice the billboards? Pay attention to what you're listening to and watching!

  46. S.... ....

    If it's any consolation, my first thought was, "Who's Rebecca Black?"

  47. i.... ....

    "LOVE is just a burning fire that takes your oxygen"

  48. A.... M....

    Well, if you use logical music notion, fightstar are much more complex than busted ever were, if your a musician no matter how much you love busted you cant deny that fact! when you say he left a better band, Id say mr simpson would disagree....Tho I love them both as much as eachother fightstar satisfy my thrist for musical genius, especaily like songs war machine, the string section and choir......busted are my childish side fun and they shud have done america or busted for dvd!! grrr

  49. B.... ....

    i fucking love fightstar and all their music, but this is my favorite song and it only has this many views!? people need start sorting their heads out!

  50. T.... ....

    life is like a butterfly!

  51. K.... Q....

    this video was featured in the music soundtrack section of the London Olympic opening ceremony. was very surprised to hear it. perhaps it is a middle finger from the establishment? we shall see

  52. B.... ....

    i was going to make a gay joke xD but them i realised homosexuality is completely acceptable and you should be able to love whoever you like.... but then i thought narr butt fuck it!

  53. K.... D....

    Man, this song is amazing... Can't believe how good it is.

  54. r.... ....

    if i remember it was 3million hates when it first came out. it got popular because it was so ad and people wanted to hate

  55. A.... M....

    Busted wasnt dull or boring....chaz said he liked the music and had fun...it was because james and the managment couldnt get behind fightstar, they didn't want him in another band....plus after america and realizing that if he was still in busted nobodys would take fightstar seriously (alot still didn't) he chose to leave rather than fight the battle, I can play POP AND ROCK AND I CAN LIKE BOTH, that wd be chaz shouting at the interview people lol chaz wrote more for busted than matt soooo

  56. A.... J....

    so by that logic you'd rather having a boring dull job where you get paid a bit more than a exciting fun job you'd enjoy?

  57. T.... V....

    esta bn chida esta cancion

  58. J.... ....

    i bet rebecca blacks music has like 100 hates at least though

  59. F.... R....

    Seems like they just signed with the wrong producers... Anyway, if they were more popular people would start saying they're mainstream/commercial/etc. I like them how they are :)

  60. J.... ....

    OMG, I thought I had all the singles from Fightstar, but I'd never listened to this one!! I can't believe how good it is, don't know how I managed to live without this song

  61. T.... ....

    one word for all of you 'BUSTED'

  62. j.... ....

    @jackheaney That's exactly why. This isn't mindless, mass produced music. Look up the word 'prolefeed' from '1984', by George Orwell.

  63. n.... ....

    It's extremely unfortunate that I can't find this in America. WTF.

  64. c.... ....

    Why can't I findthis song on CD or MP3??? This has been frustrating me for over a year.

  65. L.... ....

    @warwco99 Because Rebecca Black's Friday is rediculous and retarded. There is nothing wrong with Fightstar at all.

  66. T.... ....

    wow im actually in love with him<3 so much<3

  67. s.... ....

    @warwco99 cause people rather see people fail than seeing people doing great songs? i guess

  68. m.... ....

    @holycow25 Well, the religious ones believe it. Yes and I have really good jewish friends that words like funny and compasionate come to mind. But the plutocratic oligarchs are and have been for all practical purposes Jewish in ethnicity and spirituality. Not all obviously. We had traitors and gullible tag-alongs who helped the big Jews. Point is that we wouldn't have this city of fire and more to come in the future without them in the first place.

  69. E.... K....

    @moonlightcrawler are you serious?... :/ whatever, nevermind. have a great life watching stupid mindfucking videos. by the end of this, you're the one so brainwashed to believe all of this.
    if you ant all jews to go down off their high spots you can just forget about the economy.
    and jews do not believe everybody else were ment to serve them... did you ever even met a jew?..

  70. m.... ....

    @holycow25 Are you sure you're not mind controlled?

    watch?v=fmXAvkMJcdc

  71. E.... K....

    @moonlightcrawle you're just sitting there commenting on videos instead of making something of yourself.this doesnt mean jews control the world..btw,they do because they think of themselves as something great and they make an effort to reach the top. so,get off your computer and be a powerful person instead of saying a bunch of silly slogens. stop looking at other people's plates and eat your own fucking food. if you ant a change in the world -GO AHEAD AND MAKE IT but please..leave music alone.

  72. m.... ....

    @holycow25 Jews are an ethno-religious group. They don't have to be religious to be called Jewish. My bad, I meant plutocratic Jews. Obviously not all Jews are in powerful postions where they can exploit and subvert the masses into gullible consumer oriented units. But almost all the big globalist planners are Jews and fight for Jewish interests. Just the fact that no one can criticize them openly without being attacked shows their power over the average Joe's mind.

  73. E.... K....

    @moonlightcrawler WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY? oh, again with JEWS. wth is wrong with you people?.. always have to put stupid connections between religions and bad social behaviors. GET YOURSELF A LIFE and don't be such a religious tampon.

  74. L.... W....

    @warwco99 its about what hits the stream :/ ...Fightstar are a known band in England but i heard this song on the radio once on the radio, where the other songs are played a lot more frequently, why would the 'Burning fire' want to be exposed?

  75. K.... A....

    Where can I get this song? I don't see it on itunes...

  76. m.... ....

    Finally a band making music about these f*** plutocratic elites *cough* Jews *cough*.
    But seriously, music would be a great weapon agianst these big Jews trying to increase the control over the masses. It would be cool to get out onto the streets and paint the cameras black.
    But I don't think asking the Jews " Is this all that you want?" would change anything.
    Love Fightstar!!!!

  77. J.... S....

    @warwco99 because she went viral. doesnt mean shes that good. dont be a creep.

  78. e.... ....

    Pandemic Imminent get Vacciinated today! Vaccine contains Formaldehyde, Squalene and Mercury. I love the references

  79. l.... ....

    @settleforlower ....What? Pointless.

  80. l.... ....

    @settleforlower Tsunami*

  81. D.... H....

    i cant believe after 2 years this vid has 42k views...for such an incredible song and video... its just shameful what ppl listen to these days...

  82. J.... 9....

    one of my favourite Fightstar songs

  83. M.... A....

    How the fuck has this only got 41k views whilst shit like Rebecca Black gets millions and millions :/

  84. j.... ....

    Lol London Riots

  85. A.... S....

    @SamOwenI
    Yeah... I kind of got the idea that We Are The Ocean was a bad suggestion for you.
    But they kind of changed their style, but now they sound like Alexisonfire... and there's barely any screaming in their newer songs.

  86. S.... ....

    @Woodlouse5 can't stand that band actually lol, they're part of the sudden wave of "teenage" style bands, you know like The Blackout? Deaf Havana? Fightstar used to spit on these styles, they were just teens/early 20s yet they did really mature alternative music.
    That's the mystery of music though - how opinions on music can be so different...

  87. A.... S....

    @SamOwenI
    eeeerrrr...... Fightstar?
    I would say We Are The Ocean, but they're more post hardcore, but still a great British Band.

  88. S.... ....

    @Woodlouse5 care to share a few names then?

  89. A.... S....

    @SamOwenI
    ...not all of them are Metallica tribute bands and wailing screamo bands; there are some great UK metal bands deserve some recognition.

  90. S.... ....

    @Woodlouse5 true, but that song was so different to every other song on Be Human. And I didn't actually like that track much lol. It's about making more alternative metal tracks, War Machine is the only one on the record that gets into the genre and really rocks your socks off like the past albums. Not to say the record isn't good, it's a great listen, I just need a UK alternative metal indulgence band again. UK metal is full of Metallica tribute bands and wailing teenagers at the moment.

  91. A.... S....

    @SamOwenI
    Damocles was one of their heaviest songs.
    That was in Be Human.

  92. S.... ....

    I agree, they better not get softer. They're great, but I just don't want them any softer than be human, they're like my alternative metal indulgence band :D

  93. m.... ....

    @JoTelevision like the song but they need to stay heavy....i can see every album getting softer

  94. m.... ....

    @sharpshoota1664 ah fucking hate alex jones the creator of fear.....the song has nothing to do with him

  95. L.... S....

    that kicks some serious fuckin ass, specially end section, fuck yeah!

  96. u.... ....

    'geographical restrictions'

    BS !

  97. u.... ....

    Why can this not be purchased in US? Not on I-tunes not at Amazon.. PHUKN sensors !
