Lemon Twigs, The - The Fire Lyrics






One day in spring, it was gym class
That was the only class Shane passed

He was scaling the rope
Some cool kid cracked a joke
Oh man, he was mad, it was like his ears smoked

And I saw Shane, and everyone was pushing him
And you could really feel his pain
And then before you knew it
All of a sudden there were these flames
A fire started in the school
That took a hundred lives away

Life is real tough when your parents
Don't want you
Life can be tough when your girlfriend
Don't want you

Daisy was his last hope
But she thought Shane a big joke
"Well we'll see who's the big joke when
That school goes up in smoke!"

And I saw Shane, and everyone was pushing him
And you could really feel his pain
And it was right then
You started to see these, like, flames
A fire started in the school
That took a hundred lives away

And oh whoa when he struck the match
To make the big payback he said
"Shananananananana"
He thought, "We're all so wrong"
And he cried alone and he went
"Shananananananana"
And the girl and the kids
And all that his parents did, he said
"Shananananananana"
Ooh he thought, "We're all so wrong"
And with this he'd finally have won and baby now
"Shananananananana" Oh no no
But it increased the pain, poor poor Shane
"Shananananananana"
Poor poor Shane, poor poor Shane
"Shananananananana"
But it increased the pain, poor poor Shane
"Shananananananana"
And he ran and he and he ran
And he ran and he ran
And he ran
He increased their pain
"Shananananananana"
And the kids and all that his family did
Just to increase the pain
And then he ran away

Life is can be tough when you're
Life, life is so tough when no one wants you
Life is real tough when just about no one at all wants you

Lemon Twigs, The The Fire Comments
  1. �.... ....

    That’s why I tried to abandon others b4 they threw me away

  2. C.... B....

    this is a lie there is no such thing as a lemon twig lemons are busty and booty,. it's a dank ass stank you don't want to even thank,. but here these guys are like yea man hot twig girls riding around in my busted ass car,. I call bullshit,.

  3. M.... P....

    Michael stay away from drugs.

  4. D.... R....

    This band will be HUGE!!

  5. T.... R....

    shouts loud.....”FUCKING BRILLIANT.”

  6. C.... W....

    Nice to see them on KEXP again but I’d love to see their original lineup again, both brothers switching on vocals/guitar and drums. I was lucky enough to see this lineup in Manchester and it was amazing

    C.... W....

    I was there and I concur

  7. h.... ....

    They are one John Travolta and a Mr Kotter away from having a damn good television show.

  8. N.... E....

    Unimpressed. To say The least. Nearly wannabes. Vain 70’s euro-pop wannabes concerned with image and aesthetic over originality and creativity. They literally sound as though they have taken inspirations, Elton John, billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, whoever (take your pick) and the likes of other 70’s pop or rock icons, and used them like Templates for their own songs & sound.
    Not even remotely original. I’m sound and in style.
    Two thumbs Down!

    N.... E....

    Can you do a better job then?

    N.... E....

    Jesus mate who doesnt use their influences as templates? Not every single band these days can come with a new sound thats never been heard before.

    N.... E....

    wow thank you nathan I wouldn’t know what to do without your input, you really opened my eyes and surely the eyes of everyone else and hopefully the band itself!

  9. A.... C....

    N9thing about their music, I appreciate.

  10. A.... C....

    Absolutely, nothing wrong with it, but I don't like, and I keep on thinking that it would be better to care about image. Sorry I'm Italian, too glamour.

    A.... C....

    Completely in Agreement!
    I’d have thought it was obvious until I read most of these comments.
    I’m probably going to get some flax for my comments saying how incredibly Unoriginal they are in sound and style and clearly they’re wannabes of 70’s pop icons.

    A.... C....

    Anyone can express himself in the way he likes, however it doesn't mean nothing. The are unoriginal and the musical way they ride, even if they sound good, smells like something already earded, and if I have to be honest, the original ones from 70ties are better. For me they're nothing new or intresting, good musicians,,that's true, but talent is elsewhere.

  11. B.... i....

    They performed this on Jimmy Kimmel. It was a sublime performance. For some reason it was taken off YouTube.

    B.... i....

    Bananas in Pyjamas I know ☹️. This is almost as good though.

    B.... i....

    I search that exibition

    B.... i....

    i know i dont understand why?! michael was particularly rocking it 👌🏻

  12. A.... C....

    We are in the 2019 and you're too steriotiped and there's not reason why you have not to look like nowday's guys. However this song sounds good enough for my ears.

    A.... C....

    Lol. Dude, they can look like what they want to, wtf

    A.... C....

    first off it's sterotype not steriotipe, secondly what are you trying to say? "there's not reason why you have not to look like nowaday's guys" wtf does that mean?

    A.... C....

    @Walkr significa che ho altro a cui pensare e che questa band è del tutto irrilevante. It means that i don't like... bye

    A.... C....

    And at last it doesn't matter if you don't understand what I mean ... it doesn't change the way I think... they look like something already seen... and for me tere's not reason why they are dressed like this... I'm unable to understand why... guys from 2019 have to look like guys from 70... that's terrible stupid... it means they try to be something they are not... in fact they are nothing... no sense... music don't need their contribute... bye... and try to be guys from your time.

    A.... C....

    @Antonino Crea stfu antonio is the best you do

  13. P.... B....

    Fucking brilliant.

  14. j.... ....

    Yeas. Ain’t nothing wrong with that.

  15. e.... d....

    7:30 thank me later.

  16. P.... o....

    Brian's solo is so fucking amazing... he is a virtuoso

  17. J.... B....

    These guys never disappoint. Channeling some Springsteen on this one!

  18. T.... C....

    Awesome. 💜

  19. G.... T....

    Bloody fantastic !! ....talented lot of players

  20. Y.... Z....

    Yes!! Happy to see them again on KEXP. My favourite song of the album.

  21. J.... R....

    It must be bright AF in there.

  22. M.... K....

    Is that young Geddy Lee?

  23. C.... S....

    I love when Michael lets loose

  24. K.... S....

    Soooooooo good. Hope they do SNL.

  25. R.... D....

    Idk it’s so influenced, stylized. Lil over the top.

    R.... D....

    They sure are not trying to be too subtle about it. I like it personally.

  26. M.... M....

    So happy to see these guys here on KEXP, they've become shiny stars so fast! They rock.
    P.S. please, please don't ever start taking drugs

    M.... M....

    It might be too late

    M.... M....

    Matia Mus you are way to late on that one

  27. M.... T....

    Strat guitarist must be Ron Wood's secret son

  28. J.... N....

    What a time machine, far out

  29. Z.... L....

    Reminds me of Todd Rundgren

    Z.... L....

    Zachary Lee Todd Rundgren sung on their new album

    Z.... L....

    @UdyanAionoVids awesome. I had no clue. Just got major Todd vibes. Makes total sense now.

  30. h.... ....

    They’re so talented, pretty young, using influences wisely, coming up with these original songs, lots of instrumental fills

  31. G.... J....

    Second~ also great music!

  32. L.... G....

    Totally Shredding!
