Good, The Bad & The Queen, The - The Great Fire Lyrics






Cubs make fires on the edge
Of the golf course
But there's more of them than us now
And they have come to settle scores
So there's bound to be altercations
On the B-road where they
Don't fly the union flag

Back to the seaside the dream
About 6pm
The North Pier
The lead stare
The deep dead laughter
Of the yellow stars

Rapturous waves
Rapturous waves

This tram is for the Stargate
Next stop Uncle Toms Cabin
With the bloody nuts
And the dark forces and girls

Is 15 milligrams
A way to a dream you can never touch?
Lips like a Zeppelin
Sticky brown Chinese, coke and a dummy
Metal detector
Blue skies
Joyous waves
Alcoholism disguised with a balloon or two
On Preston station

  1. G.... M....

  4. F.... O....

    The great fire - All Burn!!

  5. D.... S....

    krwa krypne lalki

  6. M.... n....

    Final somptueux

  7. W.... ....

    help, it's midnight and this guy is at the end of my bed

  8. p.... 6....

    The king of puppets

  9. J.... B....

    Simo’s bass here is WICKED!!!!!!!!!!!!

  10. D.... D....

    As someone in my early 40's it never stops being weird hearing people saying "Oh my god, it's 2D" because they knew Gorillaz before Blur (if they know Blur at all).

  11. w.... p....

    That puppet; Albarns bushy eye -browed shabti. Secretly dwelling in a spider web adorned locked room at his Ladbroke Grove palatial.

  12. W.... ....

    What does he mutter under his breath at the end? I always like to think he says ‘That’s right, there’s no escape.’ but I highly doubt that’s what he actually says.

  13. C.... C....

    Oh he definitely started the great fire.

  14. S.... B....

    When you hear your door open but no one’s home.

  15. S.... 7....

    this puppet is very creepy.

    S.... 7....

    Selstone 777 creepy*

    S.... 7....

    Fucking creepy!

    S.... 7....

    That's actually damon.

  16. O.... H....

    In Blackpool right now listening to this. Brilliant!

  17. S.... ....

    The opening of the video scared the shit out of me

  18. N.... M....

    The music is so beautiful. The puppet is nightmare fuel. I am so happy right now.

  19. D.... F....

    really i like this video crepy

    D.... F....

    c r e e p y w o n k s

  20. s.... ....

    This is creepy

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

    If anyone’s wondering the car that comes past at 0:52 is a Mercedes E Class, thank me later

    A.... P....

    Finally thank you

    A.... P....

    I couldnt stop thinking about it, I'm so thankful for you.

    A.... P....

    Thank you

    A.... P....

    I have spent WEEKS trying to know this information. Thank you good sir

  22. �.... �....

    THIS IS NY FAVOURITE SONG IN THE ALBUM

  23. O.... C....

    What a creepy video and song. I love it.

  24. g.... ....

    Love it all.... the pictures on my wall are about to swing and fall!

  25. J.... d....

    The deep laugther of the yellow stars.... Sick!

  26. C.... ....

    Qué profundo que se ha puesto Damon con esto. Sinceramente, este disco va a ser uno de sus legados. La banda impecable. Tony Allen, a su edad, es un monstruo.

  27. A.... [....

    I really love the first second of the song when the bass comes very subtle adding a sliding note...those details are awesome and adds a lot to the song

    A.... [....

    What I love about this band is that the musicians are really talented, but not in the typical virtuosic show offy way you get. Like all the songs have little moments of genius

  28. i.... ....

    Did I just start listening to The Good, the Bad and the Queen?

    *Yes.*

    Do I like it?

    *Absolutely.*

    i.... ....

    *same.*

  29. w.... p....

    "Six cocktails nursed...a million ways back to the sea" Followed by arcane laughter. Damons a lucky cunt but quite beyond himself his non Gorillaz output can be seance like and alchemical.

  30. T.... ....

    1:42 You can hear old school 2D in the background.

    T.... ....

    Yes. This and the synths remind me of Demon Days.

  31. r.... ....

    Damon love the new album but damn that mask is creepy!

  32. A.... P....

    Watching at 3AM is advised against.

    A.... P....

    and under drugs effects...mmm, yeah maybe

    A.... P....

    What about 4 15 am?

    A.... P....

    Ah shit

  33. g.... ....

    On repeat!

  34. L.... S....

    I'm just in love with this <3 clip

  35. _.... v....

    Oh wow I have a video with more views than a Damon albarn song

    _.... v....

    So do I. More views than their most popular video too

    _.... v....

    yet you use an profile pic with one of his bands

    _.... v....

    @AELAHN [omg im out of fcks.] Hes not hating hes probably just saying how this album is really underrated (most viewed video only having about 500k views) for someone like Damon Albarn, who created the most successful virtual band in the world. Also just musically he's very talented.

    _.... v....

    I interpreted more as bragging but I now can see what you're saying

  36. J.... R....

    A few bits and pieces of it sound similar to "Werewolf Heart" by Dead Man's Bones. Possibly because of the 'howling' in the background. Saying that, it's a pretty amazing song. I love this new style of writing. Damon should use it more often.

  37. J.... s....

    please reissue the first album ON VINYL again, it's selling for way too much

  38. F.... ....

    Back to the seaside, the dream
    About 6pm

    Blue skies
    Joyous waves
    Alcoholism disguised with a balloon or two
    On Preston station

    The rust on our palms
    Greenbelt, pleasant land
    Fills the smoky room
    With the headlamp fairy lights
    Suit clad purple tinsel
    Karaoke knave Tuesday night
    At Tiffanys
    Six cocktails nursed
    A million ways back to the sea

    F.... ....

    Frane Translation? I catch some of the broader themes but as an American I can’t understand any of the specific references

    F.... ....

    @Joseph Reising Sorry but I can't, it tries to translate it yourself.

  39. D.... ....

    This project is the culmination of all my childhood idols and pure creative genius and I'm in bliss.

  40. R.... M....

    This is the best song in the album. Amazing!!

  41. a.... b....

    If Banksy made music it would sound close to this! an illegitimate love child of Sandinista & Sgt. Pepper

    a.... b....

    or maybe it would sound like Massive Attack, you know..

    a.... b....

    Ha Ha, yup, you just might be right!!

  42. S.... ....

    fuck y like so much

  43. C.... S....

    So, the videos with the puppet are like the Gorillaz visualizers? Also with eleven songs? Within five months? Is this the new Damon Albarn album format? I’m a bit OCD, so I’m not mad.

  44. F.... N....

    0:19 chills violently ran through my body

    F.... N....

    0:20 he said melk

  45. R.... D....

    Who else got chills when he winked

    R.... D....

    It was really scary

  46. h.... u....

    I just love this album too much

  47. L.... s....

    Que aterrador se ve Damon!! 😡 pero la canción es sin duda!! Magnifica!! 🌟🌈😍

  48. S.... V....

    Me convenció.again😍

  49. A.... F....

    This sounds very similar to an Arcade Fire song called Sprawl 1. I love it

    A.... F....

    I took a drive... to the sprawl...

  50. J.... M....

    Secret message in the lyrics 😉

    J.... M....

    Jäger Mobile What message?

    J.... M....

    @Yax g 😉

    J.... M....

    @Jäger Mobile wheres acog

    J.... M....

    @H2PExtrEmE Bruh What exactly do you mean?

  51. G.... ....

    Damon are you coming to Blackpool?? If so see you there didn't know that you knew it existed

  52. P.... S....

    This is getting really good,i love the approach

  53. E.... M....

    Sounds like The Specials

    E.... M....

    I was thinking the same bloody thing!!!!

  54. D.... ....

    The Clash is back :P

  55. �.... �....

    чем-то напомнило ника кейва &the bad seeds

  56. G.... ....

    theatrical
    treasure

    G.... ....

    I don't think anyone could've said it better😵

  57. T.... ....

    This gives me such Devil's Carnival vibes and I don't know what to do with it but I love it

    T.... ....

    Just love it! No worries ! 😉

  58. P.... B....

    This song reminds me of Demon Days

    P.... B....

    @Beatum Oh yeah.

    Maybe Damon wants to give that feeling of his other projects in this album.

    P.... B....

    @Plastic Bag probably not intentional. He always wants to put out something fresh and different but he can't help that he wrote both albums

    P.... B....

    ttttrtttttttttt t55t55tttttyhis songe rminds me of melk

    P.... B....

    Like demon days in a twisted carnival

    P.... B....

    The whole album has a similar feel to me as a ‘Halloween album’

  59. U.... ....

    Abrochate muy bien el cinturón, porque estás por ver , las marionetas más perturbadoras del mundo

    U.... ....

    Te a hablado dross y te deseo una buena noche

  60. P.... P....

    0:20 DAMON NO

    P.... P....

    Hehe he just winks like there's nothing wrong here

    P.... P....

    DAMON YES

    P.... P....

    @Anakin Medina
    Das de joke

  61. i.... a....

    i am in awe

  62. R.... l....

    this new album is basically Damon discovering the green screen

    R.... l....

    Nah dude look at some of Blur's earlier singles, that's when he discovered green screen

    R.... l....

    @angry grouse Also Sleeping Powder by Gorillaz.

    R.... l....

    @Schlagageul but this is better than sleeping powder

    R.... l....

    @angry grouse you guys just made my night 😂😂

    R.... l....

    these are projections.. no need for a green screen

  63. S.... R....

    Good job!

  64. N.... ....

    Sounds like something out of Plastic Beach

    N.... ....

    NewYorkForever Personally it gives me a mix of Demon Days and Plastic Beach vibes and I love it so much.

    N.... ....

    sounds like melk

  65. G.... P....

    Quien sabe ese muñeco puede ser el proximo villano de gorillaz

    G.... P....

    Not everything Damon makes is Gorillaz related

    *translated for non English speakers because there seems to be a lot of them in the comments of TGTBATQ videos*
    No todo lo que hace Damon está relacionado con Gorillaz

  66. G.... P....

    Un momento ese universo estara conectado con el de gorillaz

    G.... P....

    Este no tiene nada que ver con Gorillaz

    G.... P....

    Okey exagere con eso de wue esta conectado y todo eso perdon

    G.... P....

    Exagere con eso perdon

  67. G.... P....

    Lo mauqill@ron la boca muy bien

    G.... P....

    Es una máscara no?xd
    Parece que la boca la están jalando para abajo para simular que habla
    O es eso,o si lo maquillador muy bien uwu

  68. E.... D....

    Porque el es un muñeco en todos los videos, y los temas siguen una línea musical

  69. E.... D....

    Quiero leer bien las letras cdo. las subtitulen, si es que lo hacen, debe haber algo escondido en eso supongo, es intuición, capáz digo cualquiera....

    E.... D....

    Debe de haber un mensaje oculto en alguna parte.jpg

    E.... D....

    Será difícil traducirlo y ponerle los mensajes xd
    Las letras de este álbum son muy abstractas

    E.... D....

    todas las letras son bien especificas hablan de england, de epocas pasadas, como la guerra, constumbres,etc, etc.

    E.... D....

    @Marilyn peña En serio? Debo de leer más de historia o saber interpretar mejor las letras.

  70. J.... s....

    Este disco en general me encanto :3

  71. t.... f....

    Now THIS is ART 💕

  72. P.... G....

    This song is freaky I LOVE IT

  73. J.... ....

    FAVORITE.

  74. C.... ....

    My God this is fantastic, my favourite with Merrie Land so far, maybe it’s because I’m used to the first album but the lyrics and vocals are amazing and not just the instrumentals.

  75. C.... ....

    Oh fuck the playlist freaked me out with the black and white intro

  76. q.... ....

    Damon giving Thom Yorke a run for his money at been the most miserable and depressing singer

  77. R.... G....

    dont copy in the exam
    me : 0:00

    R.... G....

    So relatable

    R.... G....

    Lol 😂

    R.... G....

    Rodrigo Garcìa
    Lol so true

  78. V.... ....

    Temón!

  79. F.... A....

    The baby faces in the background are scaring me BUT SUCH A BEAUTIFUL ALBUM

  80. l.... ....

    0:55 what does that part (the music not the lyrics) remind me of?

    l.... ....

    Cry me a River- Justin Timberlake

    l.... ....

    It gives me Gorillaz-Fireflies vibes

    l.... ....

    can be a lot of things...

    l.... ....

    @Drew Harless that's the one

    l.... ....

    Justin Timberlake 'Cry Me A River'.

  81. J.... A....

    Blackpool's requiem

  82. C.... ....

    Dark and menacing

  83. P.... G....

    This song is creepy

  84. C.... B....

    This is one of the most intense pieces of art I have ever heard

  85. M.... ....

    Not the good lyrics in description I think :/

    M.... ....

    Looks like they fixed it

  86. P.... G....

    Great puppetry and equal imagery!

    P.... G....

    Don't know about puppetry, looks like grade-A makeup

    P.... G....

    Your totally right, it's a mask or something, those eyes have to be real

  87. L.... ....

    Está Creepy y me gustó mucho, ya va para mis favoritas de TGTBTQ

  88. A.... J....

    Ahora los suscriptores de este canal de youtube van a aumentar considerablemente

  89. f.... g....

    Am I tripping or the little guitar riffs sound like Noodle's guitar riffs that were out after the Tranz music video released.

    f.... g....

    HOODININ13 G I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING WTF

    f.... g....

    Oh jesus he's right

  92. B.... B....

    Does the puppet have a name (other than Damon lol)

    B.... B....

    Hunter Hearst Helmsley I know omg. That's why I said "other than Damon". I referenced it as a puppet because that's what it's supposed to look like

    B.... B....

    Hunter Hearst Helmsley I thought when you said "that's not a puppet" you wanted me to call it by the type of puppet it is or some shit lol

    B.... B....

    @Barry B Benson no

    B.... B....

    It's the puppet from Goosebumps. He grew up.

    B.... B....
