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 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!"
