Cover art for Fires lyrics by Band of Skulls

Baby, Darling, Doll Face, Honey Now I don't mean to cause you worry <love, i don't want to worry you> It's only hands in my pocket And the Queen on my money <but i'm broke, and the government takes my money>

Did you know I've been wanting you? so leave your locks on the latches <did you know i want you? so leave the house door open for me> If you bring the water, I'll bring the matches <if you get the bathwater, i'll bring the lights>

'cause we are fires in the night We are fires in the night <fires meaning something that illuminates, light. so like a match, a candle, lantern so its dark in the house, probably because they don't have enough money to pay electricity but they don't give a fuckk. they love eachother so much they'll take a bathe in candle light "we" incorporates 2 or more people, in this case, a couple and "are" is a direct comparison to something inanimate, like fire. so it could be a metaphor.. basically saying you and i are the fire that lights the night> Let us bathe you in our heart 'cause we are fires in the night <probably another metaphor, the couple speaking to eachother as one but imagery like bathe and heart sounds like a cleansing love, something like baptism not that its a religious lyric or anything>

Come on get up Romeo Don't you know what the time is? <next morning. stayed in late> It's the fall of rock 'n roll, That's what the news said <probably something they saw on tv, or a specific time in history when someone thought rock and roll was dying out>

just my opinion
