I split this off from the introduction thread it started in (for fairly obvious reasons).
My entry: Fire! - The Crazy World of Arthur Brown
Neps
Blood Hound Gang.. Fire water Burn
Switchfoot.. On Fire
Breaking Benjamin.. Firefly
Arctic Monkeys.. Sigaret Smoker
Neps
And yes.. The Arctic Monkeys song doesnt have the word fire in any of the lyrics.. But you still need a form of fire to light a sigaret, unless you want to light it on the hot plate of the stove..
Neps
oeps.. How can I forget this one.. Kings of Leon.. Sex on Fire
and some more obscure pieces of music..
Snowpatrol.. Set the Fire to the Third Bar
Third Day.. Consuming Fire
Delirious?.. Fires Burn

Sure is!!
Don't you love the lyrics of that song?
Baby's on fire
Better throw her in the water
Look at her laughing
Like a heifer to the slaughter
Baby's on fire
And all the laughing boys are bitching
Waiting for photos
Oh the plot is so bewitching
Rescuers row row
Do your best to change the subject
Blow the wind blow blow
Lend some assistance to the object
Photographers snip snap
Take your time she's only burning
This kind of experience
Is necessary for her learning
If you'll be my flotsam
I could be half the man I used to
They said you were hot stuff
And that's what Baby's been reduced to...
Juanita and Juan
Very clever with maraccas
Making their fortunes
Selling second-hand tobaccoes
Juan dances at Chico's
And when the clients are evicted
He empties the ashtrays
And pockets all that he's collected
But Baby's on fire!
And all the instruments agree that
Her temperature's rising
But any idiot would know that.
Cracks me every time! ?

@ Riaan C
Brilliant lyrics and song ?
Actually another song from "Here come the warm jets" album qualifies for this thread
The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch

Oh come on! Where's the one we all bang our heads to?
Bloodhound Gang - Fire Water Burn

Unless my eyes deceive me, nobody's listed "Burning Down The House" by Talking Heads.
Richard Thompson has "Fire In The Engine Room" with great lyrics eg
"She's making eyes at the fool with the shovel
That son of a grease-gun must be insane
I hose it down and he fans the flames
There's a fire in the engine room"
Then theres "Both Ends Burning", but that turns out to be the name of a race horse.
There must be loads of songs that use the flame as a metaphor. There was on by Jethro Tull that used the image of moths heading for a flame. Joan Amartrading had the line "like a moth with no flame to persuade me". In fact fire and flame are nearly always used as metaphors in song. Though there was a Michelle Shocked song about an act of arson by two juveniles. Was it "Making Trouble for the VFD"?
Tim Finn came up with this...
"Blind romance, there'll be no half measures given half a chance
But we never learn, trusting in the fire while the cruel flame burns"

I actualy did mention it earlier ? amongst my other ramblings.
Heath
I didn't believe she was devil's sperm.
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I leave there's no return."
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"
deep purple - burn ....
all time favourite song regarding fire .
