It's A Fire Lyrics

Artist: Portishead
Album: Dummy

It's a fire
These dreams they pass me by
This salvation I desire
Keeps getting me down
Cos we need to
Recognise mistakes
For time and again
So let it be known for what we believe in
I can see no reason for it to fail.... ...
Cos this life is a farce
I can't breathe through this mask
Like a fool
So breathe on, sister breathe on
INSTRUMENTAL
From this oneself
Testify or tell
Its fooling us now
So let it be known for what we believe in
I can see no reason for it to fail...
Cos this life is a farce
I can't breathe through this mask
Like a fool
So breathe on, little sister, breathe on
Ohh so breathe on, little sister, like a fool

this is sutch a beautifull song, i'm trying to play it on my guitar, but it's really had to play, and even harder to sing. i wonder how beth came up with this song, it's sutch a starnge but perfectly fitting melody
thumbs up

i've got to say, most portishead songs are pretty depressing (in a good way), but this song's structure and melody is incredibly hopeful. fucking awesome stuff.
