Torch Song Lyrics

    (fish, steve rothery, mark kelly, pete trewavas, ian mosley)

    Read some kerouac and it put me on the tracks to burn a little brighter now
    Something about roman candles fizzing out, shine a little light on me now
    Found a strange fascination with a liquid fixation, alcohol can thrill me now
    It's getting late in the game to show any pride or shame
    I just burn a little brighter now, burn a little brighter now, yeah

    Doctor says my liver looks like leaving with my lover, need another 'time out' now
    Like any sort of hero turning down to zero still standing out in any crowd
    Pulling seventeen with experience and dreams, sweating out a happy hour
    Where you're hiding 29 you know it ain't a crime to burn a little brighter now
    Burn a little brighter now, burn a little brighter now, burn a little brighter now

    Dr. finlay: "and my advice is if you maintain this lifestyle you won't reach 30"

    Torch: "christ -- it's a romantic way to go really, it's part of the heritage, it's your round i'n'it?

    We burn a little brighter now, yeah
    Read some kerouac and it put me on the tracks to burn a little brighter now
    It was something about roman candles fizzing out, shine a little light on me now
    Found a strange fascination with a liquid fixation, alcohol thrill me now
    Getting late in the game to show any pride or shame burn a little brighter now
    We burn a little brighter now, yeah

    Burn a little brighter now, we burn a little brighter now
