Strange fruit - The flame still burns

Strange Fruit & Jimmy Nail
Flame Still Burns
[composed by Mick Jones, Marti Fredericksen, Chris Difford]
I live a life that's surreal
Where all that I feel I am learning
For life has been turned on the lathe
Reshaped with a flame that's still burning
And in time, it's all a sweet mystery
When you shake the tree of temptation
Yeah, and I, I know the fear and the cost
Of a paradise lost in frustration
And the flame still burns
It's there in my soul for that unfinished goal
And the flame still burns
From a glimmer of then, it lights up again
In my life
In my life, yeah
I, I want my thoughts to be heard
The unspoken words of my wisdom
Today, as the light starts to close
Tomorrow who knows who will listen
But my life has no language of love
No word from above is appearing
Or the time, and time is a fire that's stoked
song text taken from stlyrics.com
with the reason of hope and believing
And the flame still burns
Yeah, it's there in my soul for that unfinished goal
And the flame still burns
From a glimmer of then, it lights up again
In my life
Keep a rollin', keep that flame still burnin'
Keep a rollin', while the world keeps turnin'
Yeah, keep a rollin'
Yeah, keep a rollin'
And the flame still burns
It's there in my soul for that unfinished goal
And the flame still burns
From a glimmer of then, it lights up again
And the flame still burns
Yeah, it's there in my soul for that unfinished goal
And the flame still burns
From a glimmer of then, it lights up again
In my life, in my life.

I’m still crazy, and the flame still burns

[@AdrianoGazza]

Reminds me of Mark Knopfler. Jimmy Nail is a fine singer, and a beautiful song and sentiment. Fantastic film too!

Fenomenalan film. Tako smo mi započeli našu karijeru.
Divna vremena. 😁👍👏

I played this at my own funeral last year.

[@Hagg-o-tron]

So sorry for your own loss.. bit disappointing that TH-cam comments are available in the afterlife though.

[@estebanmorales5720]

Amo esta película.
Con 60 años y esa banda llena de excusas con tal de NO nacer.
Sin embargo, aún no suelto mi guitarra.
