Lyrics and translation Richard Thompson - Fire In The Engine Room - Live At The Hammersmith Palais, 20/11/1986
Well
Luke
told
Danny,
Danny
told
Betsy
Eh
bien,
Luke
a
dit
à
Danny,
Danny
a
dit
à
Betsy
Betsy
told
me
and
I'm
telling
you
Betsy
me
l'a
dit
et
je
te
le
dis
You'd
better
stop
doing
the
things
you
do
Tu
devrais
arrêter
de
faire
ce
que
tu
fais
There's
a
fire
in
the
engine
room
Il
y
a
un
feu
dans
la
salle
des
machines
Fire
in
the
engine
room
Feu
dans
la
salle
des
machines
Damp
it
down
or
we're
all
going
under
Étouffe-le
ou
nous
allons
tous
couler
Run
them
hoses,
it's
smouldering
again
Fais
courir
les
tuyaux,
ça
fume
encore
Better
line
up
in
a
human
chain
Mieux
vaut
se
mettre
en
ligne
dans
une
chaîne
humaine
There's
a
fire
in
the
engine
room
Il
y
a
un
feu
dans
la
salle
des
machines
Fire
in
the
engine
room
Feu
dans
la
salle
des
machines
Fire,
fire,
my
heart
is
busting
Feu,
feu,
mon
cœur
éclate
You
drive
me
crazy
with
the
things
you
say
Tu
me
rends
fou
avec
ce
que
tu
dis
Jealousy's
got
me
and
it
won't
go
away
La
jalousie
me
ronge
et
ne
veut
pas
partir
There's
a
fire
in
the
engine
room
Il
y
a
un
feu
dans
la
salle
des
machines
Fire
in
the
engine
room
Feu
dans
la
salle
des
machines
And
I
don't
know
how
you
come
to
reason
Et
je
ne
sais
pas
comment
tu
arrives
à
raisonner
That
somehow
treason
isn't
treason
Que
la
trahison
n'est
pas
une
trahison
It
must
be
the
head-hunting
season
C'est
sûrement
la
saison
de
la
chasse
à
la
tête
And
there's
room
in
the
old
trophy
room
Et
il
y
a
de
la
place
dans
l'ancienne
salle
des
trophées
She's
making
eyes
at
the
fool
with
the
shovel
Elle
fait
des
yeux
au
crétin
avec
la
pelle
That
son
of
a
grease-gun
must
be
insane
Ce
fils
de
pistolet
à
graisse
doit
être
fou
I
hose
it
down
and
he
fans
the
flames
Je
l'arrose
et
il
attise
les
flammes
There's
a
fire
in
the
engine
room
Il
y
a
un
feu
dans
la
salle
des
machines
Fire
in
the
engine
room
Feu
dans
la
salle
des
machines
And
you
know
how
uncertainty
can
linger
Et
tu
sais
comment
l'incertitude
peut
persister
With
a
rattlesnake
wrapped
around
your
finger
Avec
un
serpent
à
sonnettes
enroulé
autour
de
ton
doigt
One
day
it
might
wake
up
and
sting
you
Un
jour,
il
pourrait
se
réveiller
et
te
piquer
Here's
a
toast
to
the
bride
and
the
groom
Voici
un
toast
à
la
mariée
et
au
marié
Oh,
fire,
fire,
my
heart
is
busting
Oh,
feu,
feu,
mon
cœur
éclate
You
drive
me
crazy
with
the
things
you
say
Tu
me
rends
fou
avec
ce
que
tu
dis
Jealousy's
got
me
and
it
won't
go
away
La
jalousie
me
ronge
et
ne
veut
pas
partir
