Heat Lyrics
If I could live for 100 years
Still I couldn't understand my fears
Never had the time or an easy ride
Kicking up the noise of a suicide
And I see the heat coming down
Heat coming round feels like I'm coming on
Seen what I've seen and it's gone
But I don't know
But I don't know
Yeah I don't know
Tell me what you're saying
All these things I've been praying
Tell me what you're saying
All these things I've been praying
Tell me what you're saying
All these things I've been praying
Tell me what you're saying
All these things I've been praying
Still I couldn't understand my fears
Never had the time or an easy ride
Kicking up the noise of a suicide
And I see the heat coming down
Heat coming round feels like I'm coming on
Seen what I've seen and it's gone
But I don't know
But I don't know
Yeah I don't know
Tell me what you're saying
All these things I've been praying
Tell me what you're saying
All these things I've been praying
Tell me what you're saying
All these things I've been praying
Tell me what you're saying
All these things I've been praying

Like all Mary Chain songs it's laced with the yearning, inklings of damnation but the hope of redemption - "god's mercy to be found, between the stirrup and the ground". But, meaning really isn't the point. Mary Chain lyrics are about imagery - and few bands better understood the iconography of rock'n'roll. And the way that imagery combines with the music. 'Heat' is a sky-scrappingly brilliant pop moment - but you ain't going to get that from just reading the lyrics.
