This House Is On Fire

Jonnyfun.E

I’m not sure what this is. I tried to make a song out of it, but it’s still work in progress.

I just had a phrase in my notebook. ‘This house is on fire.’

House

This house is on fire.
This house is on fire.
Can you feel the smoke?

They say keep small,
They say keep small
Be invisible

Don’t ask for any trouble
Don’t ask for any trouble

What if I want to ?
What if I have to?

Because this house is on fire,
Because this house is on fire.

September/October 2025.

Now retired, and enjoying making music and writing. Living in Gloucester, historically an important port on the river Severn, and situated with The Forest of Dean and the Brecon Beacons to the west, and the beautiful Cotswolds to the east.
