Gallagher, Rory - Fuel To The Fire Lyrics






Had me a whiskey, and I chased it,
Got me some trouble, gonna face it,
But if I had a trump card, I would place it,
That's for sure....yeah...

I had a dream, but I can't trace it,
I call out your name, so you might hear it,
But it only adds fuel, to the fire,
In my soul....yeah...

If I could just, re-write the pages,
Wake up with peace, with the way it is,

I don't wanna live in this world, if you can't grace it,
Anymore....anymore.....yeah...

Friends try to raise my spirits, higher,
Well, there's no doubting, the strong desire,
They don't feel the heat, of the fire,
In my soul....In my soul...

Had me a whiskey, and I chased it,
Got me some trouble, gonna face it,
But if I had a trump card, I would place it,
Yeah...At your door....oh yeah...

    L.... F....

    Linda Fagan...Just put on your headphones, turn your turntable on, turn off the lights and...imagine and...dream !!!...it's all we can do !

  25. J.... I....

    He is Fuel To My Fire !!!

  26. B.... P....

    One of the most underrated guitarist of whom was definitely not a “limelight” seeker but was resolute about touring Ireland at least once a year despite the political unrest in Northern Ireland.
    Why he’s not in the RnRHOF is a travesty.
    Another musician of whom left this world way too early. Thanks for sharing your gift with us Rory.

    B.... P....

    did he have a tour in Greece ? in some videos of his songs there are many comments in greek , he seems to have a big fan base there

    B.... P....

    @Omar Brsli , not quite sure. I know his "Live in Europe" album was recorded in the countries of England, Italy and Germany but unsure at all about Greece. I'm sure he made impressions all over though, without a doubt!

    B.... P....

    Omar Brsli
    He performed there in 1981.

  27. g.... n....

    thanks you tube for making it possible

  28. j.... b....

    All this man needed was his old guitar Jerry on bass and Ted on drums and yet he played like no other human person could, Rorys songs were brilliant stories and poems that you completely believe, Rory was the real deal by a very long Irish country mile.

    j.... b....

    I feel like Jerry’s enthusiasm was just as important as his skill. Rory wasn’t the same after Jerry left after all those years. I’ve never seen a bass player so Into the songs. The band Rory had his last few years were stiff on stage.

  29. �.... �....

    Rory!!!!!!!

  30. j.... b....

    All this man had was his guitar and yet he played like no other could, his songs were stories and poems that you believe in completely, Rory was the real deal by a long Irish country mile.

    j.... b....

    He was, sad to say he isn't. I would have gave all to take my son and watch this guy Jesus Christ he was good

  31. A.... T....

    No greater heart to strings player before or since, worth it for the 4:10 nut bend alone.

  32. C.... M....

    The mix is different here than photofinish....seems to me! So....I like. Lead guitar waaaaay outfront. Nice

    C.... M....

    Cynthia Marston they remastered it from the album mix

    C.... M....

    Oh. Thanks. It’s nice

  33. b.... c....

    i get you know Jimi.. its hard to go walk side by side with these reefs... Rory you were so swift in your imagination and ability in chords... omg

  34. S.... F....

    L essenza di Rory è racchiusa in questa canzone.....riff graffianti e gran solo

  35. S.... M....

    I'm in love with a man who died 20 years ago. Rory Gallagher, I hope we meet in the next life.

    C.... t....

    @Kashaslove mee too :)

    C.... t....

    me too sister! I fell in love with him in the late 70s after hearing Irish Tour 74. Played that album all the way through every time. It was years later when I saw how physically beautiful he was...totally matched the beauty of spirit that I felt through the music...I have a powerful love for him and since the internet has come along, I realize that I am not the only one! He would be so surprised at how many people still adore him.

    C.... t....

    "Gloryland" - Surefire Bluegrass Band

    C.... t....

    Me too. I've had some lovely dreams with him in. I hope to meet him too.

    C.... t....

    You have both excellent taste in music and men! :-)

  45. P.... N....

  58. h.... ....

    Probably my favourite Rory song. The 'shredders' like Malmsteen can only dream of playing guitar with the feel and emotion shown here.

    h.... ....

    hrothgar64, did you know that Jimi Hendrix, when called "the greatest guitar player ever" by a rock journalist conducting an interview, corrected him and told him that if he wanted to talk to the greatest ever, then he should talk to Rory Gallagher.

    h.... ....

    i agree, i listen to this in my car every day, beautiful lament in the guitar, those sweet harmonics, and you can here rory in background and i see his face in this solo more than any other tune, absolutely love him, when its finished i almost always say out loud "thank you Rory."..xxxx

    h.... ....

    David Gilmour can create a magical feeling in a different way, when Dave plays especially on his solo albums it really touches me like this track does by Rory

  59. D.... E....

    brightens up my day any day

  60. b.... ....

    SUPERRRRRRRRRRRR

  61. M.... ....

    This song makes me miss him so much....

  62. d.... b....

    Greatest!

  63. E.... S....

    un album davvero fantastico , con infiniti riff ,,,,,,,,,,,,, una fender stratocaster incredibile !!! UN GRANDE TALENTO,,, ....+...

  64. J.... R....

    What mellody!!!!!!!!!! RORY FOR EVER ! ! !

  65. g.... ....

    best guitarist of all time ....

    g.... ....

    OH YEAH

  66. R.... L....

    MY FAVORITE !!!

  67. a.... h....

    rory.... such a genius.

  68. E.... S....

    Brano Sensazionale,,, una delle più potenti chitarre che questo millennio ricordi,,,,,,, Magas , Magos ,,,,,,,,,,,

  69. N.... t....

    simply beautiful how the fuck does he do it, for someone who was supposedly single most of his life he sure sings about heartbreak in a way no other can, you can hear the pain in his voice.
    R.I.P. rory

    N.... t....

    +Stuart Gudgeon Yeah, he remained single for all his life, but surely he knew what was like to love and be loved - and much pain and suffering you got from those experiences (when they were bad, of course); however, I do believe he also knew the bright side of love, and had his share of happiness - I simply refuse to see him as a poor and sad man, who never found love...oh no, that's too much for me! Indeed, the pain in his voice is too real to be only "lyrics of a song". Cheers!!!

    N.... t....

    No girl friend's ever, look at the guy he must have had women falling over him, I don't believe he was sad it would show in his performance's, perhaps lonely at times but he had Donal there all his life that's love but it's different than romance. He was a very private man there's things we will never know and maybe that's why he shunned the big time, he turned down cream and the stones, his actions reflect that, he obviously didn't want to be under the microscope

    N.... t....

    Why do I see in this masterpiece of music this song was written and performed about that love that got away? Too humble of a man to show how much it hurt him, so he writes about it in song form which happens to be one of his many great songs ever written

    N.... t....

    DMcNevin- Oh man. That's so sad. You can hear that in all his music.

  70. O.... M....

    Rory Θεέ! Εισαι παντου,εισαι ζωντανος!

    O.... M....

    Ο ΑΝΘΡΩΠΟΣ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΤΟ ΑΠΟΚΟΡΎΦΩΜΆ ΤΗΣ ΤΕΛΕΙΟΤΗΤΑΣ

  71. a.... m....

    cheers to Rory Gallagher

  72. R.... B....

    Been into Rock music since I was 13 ... a lot of people I know now are all sort slag me off for getting into Rory ... Assholes right ? Mr Big lmao ! Rory came to me in way that was supernatural helped me loads  ...

    R.... B....

    Any one that doesn't see Rory's music intellect doesn't know much about music or certainly doesn't see or appreciate the different levels within the professional world. These people you speak off probably grew up on pure pop radio music regardless of what genre they were into.

    R.... B....

    Listening to Rory is like reading a good book. The songs stay with you. His guitar playing is soul music for sure.

  73. p.... f....

    beautiful song

  74. b.... ....

    Growing up with Rory's music, listening to Crest Of A Wave at the age of 15 with its soaring slide, combined with a lovely tune was a wonderful experience.  it was a never ending series of joyful albums and live performances for the next 20 years..
    I can't explain it, but there's something about his playing that no one else has, combined with his natural humility.
    Those who love his music know what I mean.

    b.... ....

    @bannork I know!!!!

    b.... ....

    +bannork Yeah...I do understand what you mean; never find enough words to describe his music. Only know he's intense, unique, special and marvelous - all at the same time.

    b.... ....

    Aparecida Mendes you forgot phenomenal.

    b.... ....

    the man lived and died a forgotten legend..truly sad that his music isn't everywhere

  75. B.... ....

    Rory got so much sound out of that 61 sunburst.When I saw him in when he was touring after Photo Finish. He had just finished Muddy's I Wonder Who when he kicked into Fuel to the fire.Seeing Rory and Alvin Lee in the same year where the two most intense shows I've ever been to.Rory was so hot that night,he must have taken a quarter of the finish off that evening. R.I.P. William Rory Gallagher (Actual date 6-14-95) but unfortunately were almost there again.
