Control the Flame Lyrics by The Lightning Seeds

Cloudcuckooland

1990

Just give me more than I could ever wish for
Give me more than I could ever hope to take
In one day, OK
There's always someone who can make me shiver
There's always someone who can melt the feel of ice
On my spine in the light
(Can't control, control the flame)
(But who the Hell would want to calm this fever?)
(Can't control, control desire)
(But who the Hell would want to stop it now?)
I hear the thunder, and my mind can't reason
Going under as it dances on my spine
Hold me tight, hold me tight
There must be someone who could kill this fever
But now and then I feel the fever rise and rise
Burning bright in the night
(Can't control, control the flame)
(But who the Hell would want to calm this fever?)
(Can't control, control desire)
(But who the Hell would want to stop it now?)
Night and day the heat is on
Fever burns
Something strange is going on
And it makes me burn and burn
(Can't control, control the flame)
(But who the Hell would want to calm this fever?)
(Can't control, control desire)
(But who the Hell would want to stop it now?)
