#------------------------------------------------------------------------------## BURNING SKY- The Jam DBADBADBADAm D Bm G A How are things in your little world, I hope they're going well and you are too D Bm G A Do you still see the same old crowd, the ones who used to meet every Friday? D Bm I'm really sorry that I can't be there G A But work comes first I'm sure you'll understand D Bm Things are really taking off for me G A Bm Business is thriving and I'm showing a profit and Bm A D Bm A D And in any case, it wouldn't be the same Bm D Bm D Cause we've all grown up and we've got our own lives Bm D Bm D And the values that we had once upon a time Bm A Seem stupid now 'cause the rent must be paid Bm A Dm And some bonds severed and others made Bm A D Bm A D Dit dit dit dit dit do n do dit dit dit dit dit do n do DBADBADBADAm D Bm G A Now I don't want you to get me wrong, ideals are fine when you are young DBA Bm And I must admit we had a laugh, but that's all it was and ever will be cos Bm A D Bm A D Cos the burning sky keeps a burning bright Bm D Bm D And as long as it does, and it always will Bm D Bm D There's no time for dreams when commerce calls Bm A And the taxman's shouting 'cause he wants his dough Bm A Dm And the wheels of finance won't begin to slow Bm A D Bm A D Dit dit dit dit dit do n do dit dit dit dit dit do n do BADBADm Bm A D Dit dit dit dit di do dit dit dit di do, dit dit dit dit di do dit dit dit di do Bm A And it's only us realists who are gonna come through Bm A Cause there's only one power higher than that of truth BADAm D Bm A And that's the burning sky, it's the burning sky Oh and by the way I must tell you, before I sign off I've got a meeting next week With the head of a big corporate I can't disclose who but I'm sure you all know him and And the burning sky keeps a burning bright And it won't turn off til it's had enough It's the greedy bastard who won't give up And you're just a dreamer if you don't realise And the sooner you do will be the better for you And then we'll all be happy and we'll all be wise And we'll all bow down to the burning sky Dit dit dit dit dit do n do, dit dit dit dit do n do Dit dit dit dit di do dit dit dit di do, dit dit dit dit di do dit dit dit di do Then we'll all be happy and we'll all be wise And together we will live beneath the burning sky NOTE: this is taken from the acoustic version from the album Extras.
