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
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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI've always like the word "Fire and Woman" in the same sentence :)
ReplyDeleteI looooooooooove The Cult! 👍✨
