Naked Flame - The Cruel Sea

Jumpin' over fences

Stealing clothes

Goin' down drain pipes

Followin' my nose

Goin' underneath

Where the slow ones go

Throwin' rocks at houses

Breakin' windows

Runnin' down the street

In the pourin' rain

Burnin' down the houses

In the neighborhood again

Stealin' pet food

Draggin' my chain

Bathin' in the light

Of the naked flame

You see our enemies are many

And my friends are few

But look into my eyes

I’ll fall in love with you

Checkin' out my brothers

For the taste of glue

Hangin' round the pub house

Buy a schooner of new

Mamma was criminally insane

No one new her troubles

And no one new her pain

But she gave me something

That I will never lose again

And that was the love

Of the naked flame

Oh here we go again

Oh where there’s

Smoke there’s flames

So when we steal your things

And break into your home

I can reassure you

That you are not alone

Many many people

And the proof can be shown

There’s no such thing as safety zones

Runnin' down the street

In the pourin' rain

Burnin' down the houses

In the neighborhood again

Stealin' pet food

Draggin' my chain

Bathin' in the light

Of the naked flame

Oh here we go again

Oh where there’s

Smoke there’s flames
