You know, Iβve played that song live and in rehearsals hundreds of times in 3 or 4 different bands and and Iβve never known what the βFireβ refers to.
My best guess is the fire of passion, but, as I say, itβs a total guess.
Like, I donβt think Iβm a particularly moral or good person, but when Iβve done someone harm I feel bad about it because of the harm I caused to them, and my dismay that it was me that caused it. Not because a higher being tells me itβs wrong.
I know itβs wrong. Itβs harming someone FFS!
Yes! I think the whole absolution thing makes them feel like thereβs an easy way out. Bit of repentance, all forgiven, then off to heaven. Job done.
Itβs like outsourcing having a genuine conscience.
And if, even if, it were somehow true that the lives of others didnβt matter, that human life had no intrinsic value or dignity, and conscience was a con, would we not still find it better if we decided to act and think as if it did? Even if we had to pretend.

Maybe Iβm wrong. I do admit the possibility.
Maybe human life is meaningless and people are merely pieces on a chessboard to be used & sacrificed on a whim.
But my life feels more valuable than that to me, and Iβm pretty sure other people feel the same about theirs and their loved onesβ lives.
I find it hard to maintain any faith in humanity when I can wake up in the middle of the night feeling devastatingly guilty about a mean but ultimately harmless thing I did when I was seven, while other humans can kill a hundred children in their primary school and sleep soundly through the night.

Went out with a girl from Bradford a long time ago and she was very scathing of all curries in the UK outside of Bradford.

Thereβs just no amount of saved taxes, sun, high-spec condos or ugly shopping malls full of tasteless luxury brands that could induce me to live or holiday in a human rights-abusing religious hard-line absolute monarchy in a famously unstable region.
I suppose we all have different priorities.

Ah yes, the great theories of international relations.
1. Realism.
2. Liberalism.
3. We have never before reached the FO state of FAFO and are thus supremely confident we can keep the FA up indefinitely with no consequences whatsoever. Plus, shit exploding is great content. Let's fucking goooooo!

Less ubiquitous than its shouty siblings Love Shack & Roam, it also has a lovelier melody and feel which makes it my favourite song from their blockbuster LP Cosmic Thing.

My neighbour told me Kuwaiti air defence keeps eating his F-15s so I asked how many F-15s he had and he told me he just goes and gets another F-15 so I said it sounds like he's just feeding F-15s to Kuwaiti air defence and then his daughter started crying

"Shooting the archer as well as the arrows" is on one level sound tactical doctrine, but if shaped by a leadership with no qualms about civilian death or the postwar viability of societies within a battlespace it can quickly become a path to normalisation of unlimited collateral damage
