Lyrics
SMOKE & FLAMES ( © R Hemsworth 8/11/2016 Amended Jan 2017)
THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOU, WAS ON PLATFORM THIRTEEN
I KNEW I WAS HEADING FOR SOMEWHERE I HADNEVER BEEN
YOU LOOKED GOOD - YOU LOOKED FINE, I WANTED YOU FOR MINE
I CAUGHT YOUR EYE, AND YOU GAVE ME A SMILE
I FELT MYSELF BLUSH, LIKE AN EMBARRASSED CHILD
WE WERE JUST MEANT TO BE, FOREVER YOU AND ME…….
(Chorus)
WE’RE LIKE SMOKE AND FLAMES, BLOWING THROUGH THE HURRICANES
WE’RE LIKE A PAIR OF KIDS, PLAYING SILLY PLAYGROUND GAMES
TWO AS ONE, JUST HAVING FUN, SMOKIN’ HOT LIKE A FIRED GUN
WE’RE LIKE SMOKE AND FLAMES, BLWOING THROUGH THE HURRICANES
I HAD TO MEET YOU, BEFORE YOU BOARDED THAT TRAIN
BECAUSE I KNEW I WOULD NEVER GET THIS CHANCE AGAIN
I RAN THE STEPS – I NEARLY FELL, I HAD A LOVE, I HAD TO TELL
YOU SMILED AGAIN, AS I CAME NEAR
MY WORDS JUST STUTTERED AS MY HEART FELT THE FEAR
YOU TOOK MY HAND, AND FLASHED A SMILE
I WAS YOURS RIGHT THERE, AND IN JUST A WHILE…..
REPEAT CHORUS
SOLO
CHORUSES OUT
