This Fire - Lyrics
Written by Birds of Tokyo
OUR CITY ISN'T PERFECT
OUR CITY IS A BLAZE OF NEON FLARE
DOES ANYBODY CARE
FRACTURED LINES IN THE PAVEMENT
EMBERS COLOUR THE AIR
THESE STREETS WE NAMED
WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
THIS FIRE, THIS FIRE WE LET IT ALL BURN
PEOPLE FALL INTO SILENCE
THE WIND SHE WHISTLES A SONG
OF HOPELESSNESS
THAT CARRIES LIKE A HYMN
OUR CITY IS A BURDEN
THE WASTE LAND UNDER OUR FEET
WE'VE COME TO KNOW
WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH
THIS FIRE, THIS FIRE WE LET IT ALL BURN
IF ALL WE DO IS BLAME
AND NO ONE CARES TO LISTEN
THERES NOTHING LEFT TO SAY
BUT IF WE STAKE OUR CLAIM
LET ACTION SPEAK THE LOUDEST
WE'LL DANCE BEYOND THE FLAMES
THIS FIRE, THIS FIRE WE LET IT ALL BURN

[@javierbracamonte2220]

Why isn’t this band as big as Killers, Muse, Imagine Dragons etc? Great great band. Hope to see them live one day

[@kurnen79]

This song should be played in all US cities right about now! A lot of depth.

[@memomyj4505]

the most underrated song !!! not even 1m

[@DEVILTAZ35]

Brilliant song , brilliant band nothing more needs to be said.

[@Teskue]

Ian has the most awesome voice ever.

[@j.l.saihara7648]

Wanna know why we listen to it? The lyrics mean something Birds of Tokyo work hard and make good shit It's good music that makes people feel good

[@Guidonator181]

Birds of Tokyo deserves to be as big as Imagine Dragons.

[@artursantiago8532]

They deserve to be absolutely bigger. Imagine Dragons is just a piece of shit, but Ian has an amazing voice and is very talented. Look at his job with Karnivool, his true masterpiece; it’s absolutely beautiful

[@javierbracamonte2220]

Or more.

[@rileygiffiniscool]

Birds of Tokyo, you never let me down.

[@yuuki1069]

修学旅行でオーストラリア行った時行きの飛行機でいろいろ聴いていた中で唯一記憶に残ってる曲

[@andreathegoosemother]

The lyrics of this song remind me of my hometown of Sudbury, Ontario in Canada. Makes me wanna cry how that town will never be enough (mining).

[@anthonyanlezark3319]

This is my favourite Birds of Tokyo song, I love it, good gee up song.

[@tmcontrols]

for all the negative comments we put them in this fire, this fire, this fire,we lit it ,this fire this fire, this fire,we lit it all burn.great song guy's keep them rolling.

[@thortyir]

Took a couple of spins, but this song finally made it straight to my head, and doesn't wanna go away anymore it seems... EP is very quiet, peaceful, but sounds amazing! Please bring them in Europe one of these days...

[@nightcoreislifecuddlefrenz9801]

[@danielcloudballone]

Which spider?

[@sophieclue383]

Well, now we know who started the fire, Billy Joel.

[@Lukim]

he ignited it, but tried to fight it

[@danielcloudballone]

A fire?

[@LeaCollingwoodMagpies]

LOL 😆😆

[@JoeOldest]

His voice is perfect yet again.

[@yenahkim9437]

I'm really happy to find this band!!

[@alanstrom2221]

Read Alan Strom's comments, he knows what he's talking about. Have a long listen to every song by Melbourne band called AUTOHAZE, they are a trillion times better than BOTokyo. Did commercial radio play their quality music every 10 minutes, no they didn't. Commercial radio didn't play THE CASANOVAS, who in my opinion are one of the best Rock bands of all time. Back in the 80's, the music director at MMM radio, ran and hid behind a pot plant when THE LIME SPIDERS went into the radio station to promote their latest album. Of course they didn't play it. THE LIME SPIDERS are 500 trillion times better than the mediocre manufactured and contrived emo lyrics, pulling at the heart strings of people who can relate. Have a listen to THE SUNNYBOYS or MACHINATIONS or V SPY V SPY or THE VENETIANS or THE EUROGLIDERS. These are just a few examples that crossed my encyclopaedic mind. The point is, that compared to these artists, and hundreds, no thousands of other class acts, the BOTokyo are rubbish, I despise them . Now, being down the front at The San Miguel at Cammeray in 1982 was very exciting and thrilling because at any second Grace and Bernie would be on stage with the Mighty EUROGLIDERS, playing top quality music. There used to be hundreds of LIVE venues and hundreds of quality bands, now most of the venues are closed and there aren't many quality bands to play in them. Recently I saw THE GANG of FOUR at THE MANNING BAR and RADIO BIRDMAN at THE FACTORY THEATRE. The Hopetoun and Excelsior are gone. I remember going to The Trade Union Club to see The Hoodoo Gurus in 1984. Fans of the horrible BOTokyo weren't even born. I'm very passionate about quality music, that's why I have an extremely low opinion of BOTokyo

[@imperialspy3457]

@@alanstrom2221 no one gaf.

[@somebuddyX]

the spider, the spider, we hid it

[@bobbiysmael]

THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY BEST BANDS I HAVE EVER GIVEN A LISTEN TO. PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT. THEY ARE SO WORTH IT. FROM PERTH AUSTRALIA...THE BIRDS OF TOKYO

[@danielcloudballone]

Say yes to a concert!

[@foreigndevice]

Birds, You never cease to amaze me. I fall more and more in love with this band every time I hear Kenny's voice. Can't wait for your Sydney shows in December.

[@oohjp6398]

[@buffilloo]

Awhh I just found a new love for y'all 😍😍😍😭😭😭

[@yeleiyu]

My first favorite song of Birds of tokyo!!!!

[@ssavadia]

The song is about letting out all your anger. If you can make peace with society then you can move on instead of engulfing your enemies in fire. Fire/anger brings chaos.

[@SarahDempsey92]

Love it. Pretty cut that Brisbane doesn't get a show in December like Melbourne and Sydney :(

[@atmospherehorizon]

It's like a Snow Patrol band songs..but i like it..:)

[@TheTigerofold]

A spider, a spider, a spider, it's biting A spider, a spider, a spider, it's biting A spider, a spider, a spider, it's biting meeeeeeeeeeeee

awesome song, so true

[@br4ve]

Yep!!

[@ReelJen]

Better song when you dont watch the video. Looking forward to March 2013!

[@Brodzzzzz]

Took me along time to get into this.. But I like it now

[@skoottar]

Totally agree my friend

[@aaronmrn]

no way!!!! maybe thats why the song is called this fire!!! thanks for the reminder bro

[@ninefingers1979]

The first time I listened to this, I thought it was a bit uninspired compared to BOT's earlier work. Three hours later the chorus had not left my head and now I can't stop listening to it. So I guess what I'm saying is that yeah, this works for me!

[@thepillowroom]

This song reminds me of my hometown and where I live, how mining and greed has completely left it looking like the moon on earth through the past smelting process, not to mention global environmental/health issues. This doesn't include the amount of family alcoholism/drug addictions that the "big bread winning" mentality has created. Just like Stompin' Tom sings, "Sudbury Saturday Night.." I don't laugh, I lived it. I totally feel this song. It's a great song.

[@chipdrusano]

Happyland brought me here! lol

[@Ktotheane]

Great song!

[@webcodeslinger]

ahh i love kenny's voice so much

[@judinkinds8307]

NOICE!!!!

This is great, I can't wait to hear what else is on the new album. I'm definitely getting the CD as soon as it comes out

[@michaelholmes3306]

what a great song! The verse is amazing.

[@Dixalona]

I like it..

[@MissRLA]

love this song

[@TheCozz123]

To me this EP is one of those ones where the more you listen to it it the gets better. I relate these songs to that of Florence and the Machine's most recent album. When i first heard that i was so disappointed because it was so different to their first album, but then i put it on repeat whilst studying and fell in love with almost every song. I'm already a huge fan of this one. PS. Lot better if listen to quite loudly

[@matihernandez6539]

la cancion de mi infancia ;)

[@JackMartin100]

good song :)

[@binazz23]

Well I really like it =)

[@seanmartin2519]

So you can tell how an album is going to sound from one song can you? Check out the other songs on the EP, and be glad they put it out for the wait for next album.

[@michaelholmes3306]

Tony Mauro 8 months ago for all the negative comments we put them in this fire, this fire, this fire,we lit it ,this fire this fire, this fire,we lit it all burn.great song guy's keep them rolling.

[@Mrshellboy2008]

LETS GET THIS SHIT OFF THE RAILS SO WHEN YOU SEARCH THIS FIRE, THIS SONG TURNS UP NOT 50 OTHER ASIAN LOVE SONGS GOD DANG IT BOBBY

[@kaddus]

Love kenny's voice.. this song doesn't move me like their other songs though... maybe it will grow on me.

[@QooperTV]

It is good song for me, well it very original not as all songs about love, brake ups and stuff consisted with love.

[@COOLSODA5]

Nice

[@seanmartin2519]

It is kinda repetitive but it gives like a sense of hope, makes you wanna stand up for something.

[@ThatsMeTwitchy]

This song makes me wanna create havoc and then deal with the consequences!

[@warholbloomwood4813]

Wow

[@EggNoggDreams]

[@sophrosynes]

some parts of the song reminds me of 'wait' by M83

[@michaeltravolta3031]

this song came out before that song

[@A7XDudeDrums]

It is a repetitive song, looking forward to hearing the others... It is catchy though!! Having it stuck in my head all day!!

[@CorporateSaboteur]

Since when is hipster a bad thing? If liking cool indie bands like this makes me a hipster, then sign me up.

[@Vaggeli]

Am I the only person who automatically has to do a Bane impression everytime I hear this song?

[@masswhite835]

Too Fighters meets The National

[@Scottish995]

Foo Fighters? Yeah I agree

[@emmakatenotcake]

I know how you feel. I thought I'd have a gander this afternoon and it wasn't there. What the hell, JB? Not good enough :S

[@vizardhoas]

Wrong song but damn I love it,

[@Trespassers01]

fuckn love this song

[@stephistennisy]

Spoiler alert! I don't know why but I think of the hunger games when district twelve burns. The lyrics match it really well!
