Wire - Torch It lyrics

His father's smile And the sparkle in his eye In the house not home, behind closed doors They hide their fakes, between the floors In the house not home, under the bed Stories are told, and lies are spread The house not home is full of love It's the hate which seeps in from above I'm going to torch it Torch it down I'm going to torch it With you on the top In the house not home, they gild their flaws Preen their feathers, and sheath their claws In the house not home, eyes are closed Blood runs hot, whilst hell hath froze In the house not home, me-me prayers The wailing wall of cheap despair In the house not home, the long house turns sh** to gold, the tall house burns In the house not home, dreams are trained Innocence, hope, lost mysteries explained I'm going to torch it I'm going to torch it I'm going to torch it with you on the top I'm going to torch it I'm going to torch it I'm going to torch it with you on the top Goodbye In the house not home There are four blanks Your ignorance was unusable Your thoughtlessness was not I'm going to torch it I'm going to torch it I'm going to torch it with you on the top I'm going to torch it I'm going to torch it I'm going to torch it I'm going to torch it with you on the top We sing our cheap despair as our secrets are sold The spirit is broken, I'm gonna torch you down The spirit is not broken, I'm gonna raise it up from the ground
