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.



BRIDGE




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
