Fire bobbies (what fettle bonnie lad​?​)

from Overvalued Ideas by Shaking Chains

/

lyrics

Why did you light the match
Set fire to your bed?

I wanted to see the fire bobbies

Were you listening to the TV screen
Or the voices in your head?

I wanted to see the fire bobbies

I won’t unclench my fists because I’m not a liar
Crumple up the paper
Toss it in the fire

The view from the valley is a state of mind
Please change the world this time
What fettle bonnie lad?

Did your teachers tell you son?
Don't ever play with matches

I wanted to see the fire bobbies

Just wait till you dad gets off the ward
Just wait till he hears about this

I wanted to see the fire bobbies

I slowly lost my wits and then I fell into the mire
Crumple up the paper
Toss it in the fire

The view from the valley is a state of mind
Please change the world this time
What fettle bonnie lad?
