Richard Thompson - Fire In The Engine Room lyrics

Well Luke told Danny, Danny told Betsy Betsy told me and I'm telling you You'd better stop doing the things you do There's a fire in the engine room Fire in the engine room Damp it down or we're all going under Run them hoses, it's smouldering again Better line up in a human chain There's a fire in the engine room Fire in the engine room Fire, fire, my heart is busting You drive me crazy with the things you say Jealousy's got me and it won't go away There's a fire in the engine room Fire in the engine room And I don't know how you come to reason That somehow treason isn't treason It must be the head-hunting season And there's room in the old trophy room She's making eyes at the fool with the shovel That son of a grease-gun must be insane I hose it down and he fans the flames There's a fire in the engine room Fire in the engine room And you know how uncertainty can linger With a rattlesnake wrapped around your finger One day it might wake up and sting you Here's a toast to the bride and the groom Oh, fire, fire, my heart is busting You drive me crazy with the things you say Jealousy's got me and it won't go away There's a fire in the engine room Fire in the engine room Fire in the engine room Fire in the engine room
