Lyrics Books Are Burning (Live On 'The Late Show') - XTC
Books
are
burning
In
the
main
square,
and
I
saw
there
The
first
eating
the
text
Books
are
burning
In
the
still
air
And
you
know
where
they
burn
books
People
are
next
I
believe
the
printed
word
should
be
forgiven
Doesn′t
matter
what
it
said
Wisdom
hotline
from
the
dead
back
to
the
living
Key
to
the
larder
for
your
heart
and
head
Books
are
burning
In
our
own
town,
watch
us
turn
'round
And
cast
our
glances
elsewhere
Books
are
burning
In
the
playground
Smell
of
burnt
book
is
not
unlike
human
hair
I
believe
the
printed
word
is
more
than
sacred
Beyond
the
gauge
of
good
or
bad
The
human
right
to
let
your
soul
fly
free
and
naked
Above
the
violence
of
the
fearful
and
sad
The
church
of
matches
Anoints
in
ignorance
with
gasoline
The
church
of
matches
Grows
fat
by
breathing
in
the
smoke
of
dreams
It′s
quite
obscene
Books
are
burning
More
each
day
now,
and
I
pray
now
You
boys
will
tire
of
these
games
Books
are
burning
I
hope
somehow,
this
will
allow
A
phoenix
up
from
the
flames
