Looking For A Bonfire - Tom Robinson, Paul Harvey, Martin Ditcham

Been collecting pennies

In a hat and a mask

On a bitter November

Before the fireworks start

Woodsmoke drifting into the trees

Crackle of bracken and burning leaves

At the height of the season

I’m looking for bonfire…

See the smoke and cinders fly

Feel as if I’m on fire

Just another jealous guy

Looking for a bonfire

Well we found our matches

And we started a spark

Now we’re touching the paper

And standing back in the dark

Hot potato — better for some

But I’ve burnt my fingers

And bitten my tongue

I can never remember:

I’m looking for a bonfire…

See the smoke and cinders fly

Feel as if I’m on fire

Just another jealous guy

Looking for a bonfire

I don’t want to turn away

We’ve been on the wheel

Now we’re watching it

Burn away
