DOCUMENT: FIREPLACE

I'm always surprised at how short this song is.  It seems longer ... that might not be a good trait.  The group does not play the song live perhaps because of the saxophone, but more likely because it doesn't translate well to a live performance.  In any case, I'd love to see them perform it sometime in the future, I think if arranged correctly it could really rock out. 
  Lyrically it's a really carefree ideal.  Things are turbulent ... let's dance and burn stuff.  It's basically the script for Footloose.  It also makes me think about the origins of the word 'fireplace,' couldn't the creators of the English language be more creative than putting the words fire and place together?  It's so mundane.  Too descriptive.  There's also inglenook ... let's use that more often. 



FIREPLACE
Crazy, crazy world
Crazy, crazy times
Crazy, crazy world
Crazy, crazy times

Hang up your chairs to better sweep
Clear the floor to dance
Shake the rug into the fireplace

Crazy, crazy world
Crazy, crazy times
Crazy, crazy world
Crazy, crazy times

Hang up your chairs to better sweep
Clear the floor to dance
Sweep the floor into the fireplace

Hang up your chairs to better sweep
Clear the floor to dance
Throw the chairs into the fireplace

Hang up your chairs to better sweep
Clear the floor to dance
Throw the walls into the fireplace

Upon first glance, this might look tricky, but it's really about the power chords and dissonance.  The most fun part of this song is the opening break/end riff.  Just pure Buck messin around and comin up with something unique.
