Down in amongst the streets tonight
Books will burn, people laugh and cry in their turmoil
(turmoil turns rejoiceful)
Shed your fears and lose your guilt
Tonight we burn responsibility in the fire
Well watch the flames grow higher!
But if you get too burnt, you cant come back home
And as I was standing by the edge
I could see the faces of those led pissing theirselves laughing
(and the flames grew)
Their mad eyes buldged their flushed faces said
The weak get crushed as the strong grow stronger
We feast on flesh and drink on blood
Live by fear and dispise love in a crises
(what with todays high prices)
Bring some paper and bring some wood
Bring whats left of all your love for the fire
Well watch the flames grow higher!
But if you get too burnt - you cant come back home
And as I was standing by the edge
I could see the faces of those led pissing theirselves laughing
(and the flames grew)
Their mad eyes buldged their flushed faces said
The weak get crushed as the strong grow stronger
In the funeral pyre
Well watch the flames grow higher
But if you get too burnt - you cant come back home
(well I feel so old, when I feel so young
Well I just cant grow up to meet the demands)
The lyrics FUNERAL PYRE of THE JAM is also present in the album Greatest hits (1991)
The Jam sono una leggendaria band punk rock britannica formatasi nel 1976 a Woking, Surrey, grazie all'iniziativa del poliedrico Paul Weller. Influenzati da artisti come The Beatles, The Kinks e The Who, hanno saputo coniugare sonorità melodiche con un ritmo deciso e una carica punk che li ha resi uno dei gruppi più importanti della scena musicale britannica degli anni '70 e '80. La formazione originale, composta da Weller (chitarra, voce), Bruce Foxton (basso) e Rick Buckler (batteria), è rimasta costante durante i sei anni di attività del gruppo. I The Jam hanno pubblicato sette album in studio, tra cui il loro capolavoro "Sound Affects" (1980), che ha raggiunto la vetta delle classifiche britanniche. I brani più rappresentativi includono "Going Underground", "Town Called Malice", "The Eton Rifles" e "Start!" . Dopo lo scioglimento del gruppo nel 1982, Paul Weller ha continuato una carriera di successo come musicista solista, mentre Foxton e Buckler hanno intrapreso diverse collaborazioni musicali.
