Tinderbox

Stiff Little Fingers · Tinderbox [1997]

Then the rain came down



And your life's a train

And washed all hope away



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)
