Cover art for Forest Fire lyrics by Lloyd Cole & The Commotions

As the song says: "It’s just a simple metaphor, it’s for a burning love". Two destructive personalities who fall giddily in love. It's fantastic how he describes a feeling that anything is possible:-

"cause we’re a forest fire believe you me, we’ll tear this place down. If we get caught in this wind, then we could burn the ocean".

A fantastic song!
