Stiff Little Fingers - Tinderbox lyrics

rate me

Then the rain came down

And washed all hope away

And your life's a train

But it only goes one way

What about the times when you were happy

Balance them against the times you're sad

Was there once a time when you felt lucky

Or do you regret the times you've had

Chorus:

Cos sometimes I feel

I live in a tinderbox

And just one spark

Sets the whole thing off

And sometimes I see

The light die within me

And the flame go out

Leave me in the dark

When your world's a mess

And imbecility gets you down

When you can't accept

The stupidity that's around

What about the times when you were focused

What about the times you know who you are

Do you find it hard containing your emotions

Do you find it hard to just get out the door

I'm hangin' in you're hangin' on (x2)
