	Story Behind the Song This song was going to have a simple verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus structure, but after when I came to record it I found that I couldn't get back to the final chorus from the bridge, so I added a guitar solo with a new chord progression, but I couln't get back to a chorus from that either. A Pink Floyd-style synth sequence was added but that wouldn't link into the chorus either, so finally I added the acoustic guitar and strings bit and I was finally able to get back into the final chorus. In this way, a simple, straight-forward guitar-pop song became almost prog-rock ... a genre I'm not fond of, anyway I like the result. I can listen to it. What are the lyrics about? Usually when I write lyrics they don't make much sense at first, then I edit profusely and end up with something coherent. In this case the editing phase just didn't happen. I think the lyrics have something to do with rich and poor, they don't read very well but they sound OK in the song. Lyrics Without the hand that takes the money there is no focus in this room and this machine has lost its mechanism see it spinning across the floor Chorus This Fire will burn your house down (and it's too late to put it out) This Fire will burn your house down (and you will learn to go without Without your manifestos of taking profit from the poor without the hand that showed you and pushed you deeper to the floor Chorus
