Abdoujaparov Fire Tender Red Lyrics

Fire Tender Red Lyrics

The day I put a match to No. 3  
I made those f**king grown-ups notice me  
I didn`t think a tiny fire would grow that big  
I didn`t know the smoke and fumes would make me sick  
 
Beautiful flames, sulphur and heat  
Carefully fanned  
Fire-engine siren  
Fire tender red  
 
I knew they kept some petrol  in the shed  
I threw her precious photos on the bed  
I found a box of matches in a drawer  
And I wedged his favourite chair against the door  
 
Beautiful flames, sulphur and heat  
Carefully fanned  
Fire-engine siren  
Fire tender red  
 
I failed to reach the phone in time  
In time to dial 999  
I woke up in a hospital  
Bandage on my head  
Mum and Dad are dead  
Fire tender red
