The Fiery Furnaces are an inventive and often challenging art pop group from Brooklyn, New York. Originally from Oak Park, Illinois -- a suburb of Chicago -- they consist of the brother and sister team of Matthew Friedberger and Eleanor Friedberger, and are currently joined by Jason Loewenstein (Sebadoh), Bob D'Amico and Michael Goodman when playing live on tour.
The Fiery Furnaces signed with the Rough Trade Records music label in 2002, and recorded their debut album in the same year.

AF# T’ord ta tippy top Tommy tongue-tied talked, AF# Tricked Trish tra trance which church chit-chat. D5E5D5E5 Nana nots no know, so down the firehouse we go. AF# Fireman Frank friendly fed fee-free AF# Dank dusty doughnuts den da dribble drank. D5E5D5E5 Driven droopy drunken; in Clinton lake we’ve sunk in.
Interlude(?): A5G5 So Tommy, look here what you did: BmBbm Barnacle Bill’s bound bonus bid.
AF# My mommy must a made up my mind AF# Many months me for Mandy Miller resigned. D5E5D5E5 Right raise rank rise rust; and how she ever fussed! AF# About that out-lout doubt-route scout; AF# Seems he liked someone better than her. D5E5 Oh! Tommy Trish and Frank D5E5 You can talk me to the bank.

AF# When the word of your ward was the sword by your side AF# And you dug up the deed in the dump where he died, D5E5D5E5 You seemed beside yourself; you’re wandering all your wealth. AF# ‘While the warp and the woof of your words were worked AF# By perpetually pushing spirits and beers, D5E5 Cause the coffin the cradle the curse D5E5 Were woven even worse.
A5G5 Since the ‘sary sends signs out the fire to whom it may concern: BmBbm Cause the coffin is for me cause I have nothing to do with it; A5G5 And the cradle is for me cause the old dragon attacked me in it; BmBbm And the purse is for me because I don’t have money nor friends.
