Torch It Lyrics - Wire

His father smiled 

And the sparkle in his eye 

In the house not home behind closed doors 

They hide their fakes between the floors 

In the house not home under the bed 

Stories are told and lies are spread 

The house not the home is full of love 

It's the hate which seeps in from above 

I'm going to torch it 

Torch it down 

I'm going to torch it 

With you on the top 

In the house not home they gild their flaws 

Preen their feathers and sheath their claws 

In the house not home eyes are closed 

Blood runs hot whilst hell hath froze 

In the house not home me-me prayers 

The wailing wall of cheap despair 

In the house not home, the long house turns 

Shit to gold, the tall house burns 

In the house not home dreams are trained 

Innocence, hope, lost mysteries explained 

I'm going to torch it 

I'm going to torch it 

I'm going to torch it 

With you on the top 

I'm going to torch it 

I'm going to torch it 

I'm going to torch it 

With you on the top 

Goodbye 

In the house not home 

There are four blanks 

Your ignorance was unusable 

Your thoughtlessness was not 

I'm going to torch it 

I'm going to torch it 

I'm going to torch it 

With you on the top 

I'm going to torch it 

I'm going to torch it 

I'm going to torch it 

I'm going to torch it 

With you on the top 

La la la, me-me prayers 

La la la, wailing wail 

La la la, cheap despair 

Me, me, me 

Well, it's the hate 

It leaks in from above 

It's the hate 

It's full of love 

I'm going to torch it 

I'm going to torch it 

I'm going to torch it 

With you on the top 

I'm going to torch it 

I'm going to torch it 

I'm going to torch it 

With you on the top 

You on the top 

You on the top 

Me-me prayers 

All me-me prayers 

All me-me prayers 

All me-me prayers 

All me-me prayers 

All me-me prayers 

All me-me prayers 

A wailing wail of despair 

I'm going to torch it 

With you on the top 

She tends to glow 

We sing our cheap despair as our secrets are sold 

The spirit's broken, I'm gonna torch you down 

The spirit is not broken, I'm gonna raise it up from the ground 

Innocence, hope of lost mysteries explained 

The innocence and hope I lost, I'm going to torch it 

I'm going to torch it 

I'm going to torch it 

I'm going to torch it 

With you on top
