The Flame Still Burns From the Movie "Still Crazy" as performed by Strange Fruit.
Sung By Jimmy Nail
[Verse 1]
A D A
I live a life that's surreal
D A E
Where all that I feel I am learning
A D A
Oh life, has been turned on the lathe
D A E
Reshaped with a flame that's still burning
F#m E/G# A
And in time, it's all a sweet mystery
D A/C# E/B
When you shake the tree of temptation
F#m E/G# A
Yeah and I, I know the fear and the cost
D A/C# E
Of a paradise lost in frustration
[Chorus]
A E
And the flame still burns
Bm F#m E
It's there in my soul for that unfinished goal
A E
And the flame still burns
Bm
From a glimmer of then
F#m E D
It lights up again in my life
In my life, yeah
[GUITAR SOLO] A E Bm F#m E A E Bm F#m E D
[Verse 2] (as one)
I, I want my thoughts to be heard
The unspoken words of my wisdom
Today, as the light starts to flow
Tomorrow who knows who will listen
But my life has no language of love
No word from above is appearing
Oh the time, in time there's a fire that's stoked
With a reason of hope and believing
[Chorus]
A E
And the flame still burns
Bm F#m E
It's there in my soul for that unfinished goal
A E
And the flame still burns
Bm
From a glimmer of then
F#m E D
It lights up again in my life
In my life, yeah
[GUITAR SOLO 2] A E Bm F#m E A E Bm F#m E D
C D
Keep rolling keep that flame still burning
C D
Keep on rolling while the world keeps turning
A B
Yeah, keep a'rolling
A B
Yeah, keep a'rolling, yeah
