Fixx, The - Chase The Fire Lyrics






You chase the fire
You paint the signs
I walk the wire
You shout the lines

There was a time when my mind was made up by you
Is this a deja vu or am I just missing you
I've been here before and lived to the thrill of it all
And I might be in the dark but I'm watching you

You chase the fire,
But you can't take the heat
You slay the lion,
But you won't taste the meat

Your look was all it took
To get me hooked on you
My eyes were closed
But now I'm watching you

You chase the fire,
But you can't take the heat
You slay the lion,
But you won't taste the meat
You chase the fire, you chase...

You chase the fire
You paint the signs
I walk the wire
You shout the lines

There was a time when my lines
Were made up by you.
Is this a web of lies,
Or am I just seeing through

You chase the fire,
But you can't take the heat
You slay the lion,
But you won't taste the meat
I've been here before
And lived through the thrill of it all
You chase the fire
You chase the fire

    very underrated band. they had a very unique sound.

    r.... ....

    I agree and it's a damned shame that the only song they ever play by The Fixx on the radio is One Thing Leads To Another. Good song, but they have a ton of better songs than that one. Including this one!

    r.... ....

    railfan1984 Underrated by who??

  10. A.... P....

    Smooth, elegant, mystical, solid groove, muscular and funky.

    Words don't do Fixx justice when they were at their best.

    Creativity is a special thing.

  11. C.... L....

    I died to this song and I'd do it again

    C.... L....

    great song from a brilliant album, who have never got recognition in the UK.

  14. B.... R....

    One of my all-time favorite Fixx tracks! Wicked bass line.

  15. G.... H....

    Man, what a great song, from an underrated album.

    R.... B....

    R.... B....

    Robert Beckwith
    Like the 80s studio mix.
    It’s synth but it stays handmade music.
    Love it.

  17. J.... C....

    I always liked this band great music

  18. N.... F....

    Why isnt this song on Spotify?

    N.... F....

  19. P.... L....

    LASTIG12:Not these days YOU WON'T!

  20. J.... T....

    Great track !! Preformed masterfully on their live album "REACT" as well !!. Rupert Greenall is the best keyboardist out there....PERIOD !!

    J.... T....

    Absolutely, In terms of talent, range and just shear providing expansive ambience In keyboard realm, he is up there with Garth Hudson of the Band, Billy Preston, and Benmont Tench of the Heartbreaker. BUT for the SYNTH dimension, he is THE MAN.

  21. A.... P....

    High fives and fist bumps, soundping.

    This is such signature Fixx. The celestial synth ambient accents, the funk, and dramatic and confrontational vocal presence of Cy demanding account of what is eating at the heart of the listener.

  22. b.... ....

    Indeed they are!

  23. S.... a....

    The last 30 seconds of this song are simply transcendent.

  24. P.... P....

    Thank You! I second that! Just saw them in concert tonight outdoors....it was awesome. They are still together and going strong after 30 years. Sounding epic as ever! Its an experience to be at their live concerts.....

  25. B.... ....

    kick asp song!

  26. a.... ....

  29. A.... B....

    marvelous,great fixx!by italian boy.

  30. e.... m....

    @fenderrlee on Ebay. Keep checking FYE stores for trade ins, too. It's worth $27. Ask the seller the track length on Camphor. If it's over 10 minutes, you're getting the hidden track. Ask seller if it has the full packaging with lyrics. All the more worth it.

  31. T.... C....

    @churchtroll where did you get the CD? I cant find it anywhere---well I will have to pay 27 bucks on ebay:D

  32. T.... C....
