Song Lyrics #28


This week I'm looking at Fire Woman by The Cult. Pretty straightforward I'm thinking- not a big secret what this one is about lol. They could have just said "she's hot" for 4 minutes or so. But nah this is way more fun- and honestly there are some nice lyrical touches here. "Prancing like a cat on a hot tin shack"? Seriously. There's are a few moments like that here that sorta distinguish it from a lot of ooh baby songs. Anyway give it a lesson, or if you're a fan of this one like me- crank it up. :)   

So what do you think?   

Lyrics

Wound up, can't sleep, can't do anything right, little honey 
Oh since I set my eyes on you 
I tell you the truth 
Twistin like a flame in a slow dance baby 
You're driving me crazy 
Come on, honey, come on now 

Fire, smoke she is a rising 
Fire, yeah smoke on the horizon 
Fire, smoke she is a rising 
Fire, oh smoke stack lightning, smoke stack lightning 

Well shake it up you're to blame got me swayin little honey
My heart's a ball of burning flame 
Oh yes it is 
Prancing like a cat on a hot tin shack
Lord, have mercy come on little sister, come on and shake it

Fire, smoke she is a rising 
Fire, oh smoke on the horizon
Fire, smoke she is a rising 
Fire, oh smoke stack lightning baby 

I was thinking what I've been missing 
I'll tell you truthfully, well
She's coming close now 
Oh I can feel her
She's getting close to me
And I never, yeah

Fire, smoke she is a rising 
Fire, oh smoke on the horizon
Fire smoke she is a rising, rising, rising fire
Smokestack lightning 

Burning out
And shake it baby
Come on and burn it 
I say, send down fire to me
Say, send down fire to me, say send down fire to me yeah

Fire woman, you're to blame
Fire woman, you're to blame
Fire woman, you're to blame 
Fire woman, you're to blame

  1. So Mr. Barb and I were browsing videos on YouTube the other night and this one came up and we had to listen. We've both always loved it and what a surprise to see it shared on here this morning. I also love how they slowed things down for the "I've been thinking..." part. Such a classic.

  2. I do not think I know any songs by the Cult. I know who they are, but cannot think of any songs I know by them.

  3. I've always like the word "Fire and Woman" in the same sentence :)
