Songs for arsonists

Burning Down the House, Talking Heads
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

Angel from Montgomery, John Prine
If dreams were thunder and lightening desire
This old house would have burned down long time ago

She Found a Fool, Paul Cebar
He's a mere passerby
She's a flaming house on fire
You could see it burning there
Long before she banked it higher

Fire on Babylon, Sinead O'Connor
Life's backwards Life's backwards
People turn around
The house is burned The house is burned
The children are gone

House of Fire, Alice Cooper
House of fire
House of fire, yeah
Let's build a house of fire, baby

This House is on Fire, Natalie Merchant
It's all gonna catch like a house on fire,
spark an evil blaze and burn higher.

Fire, Leonard Cohen
I burnt the house of love tonight
It made a perfect ring

House on Fire, Kansas
She's like a flame; she's burning higher
She's like a house on fire - House on fire

The Home Fire, Louis Armstrong ((George Weiss / Bob Thiele)
I'm headin' straight for my hearts desire
Gee, it's good to know I'm near the home fire

House Burning Down, Jimi Hendrix
Look at the sky turn a hell fire red
Somebody's house is burnin' down down, down down

Burning House of Love, X
smoke is rising from the fire
coming out my back door

A House, Dove
it was a day like this and my house burnt down
and the walls were thin and they crashed to the ground

Burn Down the Mission, Elton John
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
It’s time we put the flame torch to their keep

London's Burning, The Clash
London's burning with boredom now
London's burning dial 99999
