Tinderbox - avoid the spark

Songtekst

[INTRO – SPOKEN] Dry ground. Long grass. No rain for weeks. It doesn’t take much. [INSTRUMENTAL] [VERSE 1] Someone stops beside the footpath Drops a cigarette and goes Still a little red beneath it Nothing anybody knows Wind gets up across the common Moves it underneath the grass By the time somebody sees it It’s already moving fast [PRE-CHORUS] Look again Before you leave Make it cold Make sure Because if it catches here It won’t stay here [CHORUS] Tinderbox Tinderbox One spark is enough Tinderbox Tinderbox One spark is enough Put it out Take it home Don’t leave fire behind Tinderbox One spark is enough [SHORT INSTRUMENTAL WARNING] [VERSE 2] Disposable barbecue Left beside the trees Bottle lying in the grass Heat sitting underneath Looks harmless in the distance Looks like someone else’s mess But dry ground doesn’t care How little you meant it [PRE-CHORUS] Look again Before you leave Make it cold Make sure Because if it catches here It won’t stay here [CHORUS] Tinderbox Tinderbox One spark is enough Tinderbox Tinderbox One spark is enough Put it out Take it home Don’t leave fire behind Tinderbox One spark is enough [BREAK – MUSIC CUTS] [SPOKEN] If you see smoke, move away from the fire. Call nine-nine-nine. Tell them where you are. Tell them what you can see. Do not go back. [PAUSE] Fire moves faster than you think. [LOW PULSE RETURNS] [FINAL CHORUS] Tinderbox Tinderbox One spark is enough Tinderbox Tinderbox Don’t be where it starts Put it out Take it home Leave the ground as you found it Tinderbox Tinderbox One spark— [GROUP VOX:] Is enough. [OUTRO – SPOKEN] Hot weather. Dry ground. Think before you leave. [END WARNING TONE]
