Jam - Funeral Pyre

funeral pyre by the jam

verse

D
down in amongst the streets tonight , books will burn ,

Am
people laugh and cry in their turmoil

turmoil turns rejoiceful

D
shed your fears and lose your guilt ,

Am
tonight we burn responsibility in the fire

we ll watch the flames grow higher .

chorus

G
and as i was standing by the edge ,

i could see the faces of those who left

Am
pissing themselves laughing

and the flames grew higher

G
their mad eyes bulged , their flushed faces said

C F
the weak get crushed and the strong grow stronger .

verse

D
we feast on flesh and drink on blood ,

Am
live by fear and despise love in our crisis

what with todays high prices .

D
bring some paper and bring some wood

Am
and bring whats left of your love for the fire

and we ll watch the flames grow higher .

chorus
