lyrics

These are the good days
And the boys will have their fun
The greatest of mistakes
Was when we lost one
For If these are the good days
And the boys are headstrong
The silence is insane
For he was the real one

He’s wasted our time
Turn the silence over
The water in your eyes
They turn into the tear drops on your head
The consequences insane
And he cannot repeat your name
The consequences insane
And he cannot repeat your name

Spitfire from the heavy metal
Spitfire from the heavy metal
Spitfire from the heavy metal

Children with arrows
They shot the dreamer on the back
The villain from the red road
He sings a song of longing glad
And I implore the law the free
The awe, the wonder
Blind to silence one and all
I implore the law, the free
The awe, the wonder
Blind to silence one and all
One and all

Spitfire from the heavy metal
Spitfire from the heavy metal
Spitfire from the heavy metal

These are the good days
And the strangers all have names
Your garden is so safe
And yet the neighbors all complain
But we’ll stay the while
And we’ll stay the day
And we’ll stay the while Oh
And we’ll stay the day
And we’ll stay
spitfire from the heavy metal

Spitfire from the heavy metal
Spitfire from the heavy metal
Spitfire from the heavy metal
Spitfire from the heavy metal
