Fiery Jack

The Fall · 50,000 Fall Fans Can't Be Wrong: 39 Golden Greats [2004]

My face is slack

And the kidneys burn

In the small of my back

Will never learn



Well, I'm not going back

To the slow life

'Cause every step is a drag

And peace is a kite



Of materials you never catch

Come up for a snatch

Up from hell

Once in a while



'Cause I am Jack

From a burning ring

My face is slack

And I think, think, think



I just think, think, think

Too fast to write

Too fast to work

Just burn, burn, burn



I sat and drank

For three decades

I'm forty-five



'Cause I am Jack

From a burning ring

And my face is slack

And I think, think, think



I just drink, drink, drink

Too fast to write

Too fast to work

I just burn, burn, burn



A store man from the slack

They are smart, they are

(Mod)

Their brains are half, they never end

Just follow trends



But I am Jack

From a burning ring

And my face is slack

And I think, think, think



I just drink, drink, drink

Too fast to write

Too fast to work

I just burn, burn, burn



And put down left-wing tirades

And the musical trades

And all free trade

I said eat this grenade



'Cause I am Jack

From the burning ring

My face is slack

And I think, think, think



Just think, think, think

Too fast to work

Too fast to write

I just burn, burn, burn



And put down left-wing tirades

And the musical trades

And all free trade

I said eat this grenade

I said, Doncaster, eat this grenade
