    The FIREMAN is no nickname - simply a warm place in the head

    The purpose is to meet you at your fire place

    Paul McCartney's 2008 album with producer Youth. Each track written,recorded and sung in the space of one day with Paul McCartney, playing all instruments.
    The album's opener is classic rock and an instant attention grabber. A heavy guitar riff with loud drums and souring vocals, it's like nothing The FIREMAN have ever done before.
    'The FIREMAN are back after a ten-year break. Electric Arguments is their third and brand new studio album and it's not the album people might expect from the mysterious duo.'

    1. Nothing Too Much Just Out Of Sight

      Nothing too much
      Just out of sight
      You say you love me
      If this is true
      The best thing to do
      Is to lye down beside me
      I said I love you
      Well nothing too much
      Just out of sight

      Oh don't you want to be fair?
      When you went away
      In the twilight
      It was alright
      It was alright
      Alright

      I love you
      I said I love you
      I thought you knew
      The last thing to do was
      To try to betray me
      The new morning light
      I'll never forget it
      Nothing much just out of sight

      Twilight
      Out of my sight
      I was more than upset
      Nothing too much
      Alright

      I can remember
      Your beautiful hair
      I can remember
      Why cant't you take me there?
      Don't you try betray me?
      Oh wanna betray me?
      I was ready to test
      I was ready to test with the whites of your ribs

      It was alright
      Alright
      Not nothing too much
      Just out of sight

      Well nothing too much
      Just out of sight
      Out of my sight
      Beautiful hair
      I was really upset
      In the moonlight
      In the twilight
      Of the last night
      It was alright
      Alright
      Alright

      Well nothing too much
      It's alright
      Just out of sight
      The last thing to do was to try to betray me

    2. Two Magpies

      I saw two magpies
      A girl and a boy
      One for sorrow
      Two for joy
      With no salutes
      I move away
      And long to face, face ,face
      Face down fear

      I saw two magpies
      There was a girl and a boy
      One for sorrow
      Two for joy
      Content to cry
      No more to lie
      I move away
      And lie in truth

      Look two magpies
      A girl and a boy
      One for sorrow
      And two for joy
      Three for a girl
      Four for a boy
      I saw two magpies
      Two for joy

      Content to cry
      No more to lie
      In truth with you
      To face down fear
      Content to cry
      No more to lie
      No more to lie
      And face down fear

    3. Sing The Changes

      Like the sun playing
      In the morning
      Feel the quiet
      Feel the thunder
      Oh every ladder
      Leads to heaven
      Call it ransom
      Draw the picture

      Sing the changes
      Oh as you're sleeping
      Feel the quiet
      In the thunder
      Sing the changes
      Calling over
      Feel the quiet
      In the thunder

      Like the sun playing
      In the morning
      Feel the quiet
      Feel the thunder
      Oh every ladder
      Leads to heaven
      Colored pencils
      Draw the picture

      Sing your praises
      As you're sleeping
      Sing the changes
      Any wonder
      Feel the sense of
      Childlike wonder
      Sing your praises
      As you're sleeping
      Sing the changes
      Oh as you're sleeping
      Feel the quiet
      In the thunder
      Sing the changes
      Calling over
      Feel the quiet
      In the thunder
      Sing your praises
      As you're sleeping
      Feel the quiet
      In the thunder
      Sing the changes
      Calling over
      Everybody has a sense of
      Childlike wonder

      Sense of wonder
      Sing your praises
      As you're sleeping
      Feel the quiet
      In the thunder
      Sing the changes
      Calling over
      Everybody has a sense of childlike wonder

    4. Travelling Light

      I ride on the white wind
      High over the sand
      I follow the bluebird
      I follow the wise

      I glide on the green leaf
      Not asking for more
      I follow the white wind
      I glide on the green leaf

      I swim in the blue sea
      I walk on the sand
      I fly through the blue sky
      To wherever you land

      I ride on the white wind
      To a far away shore
      I follow the bluebird
      To wherever she lands

      I'll be traveling tonight
      Oh across the sea
      Where she waits, she waits for me
      Across the broken sea
      From the sea
      From the sea

      From across the endless sea
      I'll be traveling tonight

    5. Highway

      Running through the nighttime
      And looking like a wreck
      Got too many highlights and a love bite on her neck
      Looking for some pay daddies who'll maybe come around
      Everybody's wondering
      What's that sound

      Highway
      (Do ya, do ya, do ya)
      Always
      (Do ya, do ya, do ya)

      Standing in the doorway of a little black shop
      Lifting up a pin light and ringing up a cop
      Running down the street
      Everybody sees
      What she's got is what she needs
      And what she loves is me

      Highway
      (Do ya, do ya, do ya)
      Always
      (Do ya, do ya, do ya)
      Highway
      (Do ya, do ya, do ya)
      Always
      (Do ya, do ya, do ya)
      Highway
      (Do ya, do ya, do ya)
      (Do ya, do ya, do ya)
      Highway
      (Do ya, do ya, do ya)
      Always
      (Do ya, do ya, do ya)

      Oh looking in the flowers
      Hang on me every hour
      Take me high and let me think
      Move me baby, move me away

      Everybody wondering why you're looking such a wreck
      Yeah

      Highway
      (Do ya, do ya, do ya)
      Always
      (Do ya, do ya, do ya)

      Everybody wondering why she didn't love me more
      They damn know what it self

      Somebody can move me
      Oh I'm feeling naked
      Words are getting higher
      Everybody fire
      Lord the sun is rising again
      Words are getting higher
      Everybody fire
      Lord the sun is rising again

      Words are getting higher
      Everybody fire
      Lord the sun is rising again
      Words are getting higher
      Everybody fire
      Lord the sun is rising again
      Words are getting higher
      Everybody fire
      Lord the sun is rising again

    6. Light From Your Lighthouse

      When the sky is filled up
      With stones and heavy rain
      And trouble starts sliding
      Across the way
      It's hard for me to see
      Which road I've got to take
      I know I need to find a way
      To leave it all behind

      Let it shine on
      Let it shine on
      Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me
      Let it shine on
      Let it shine on
      Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me

      And when the light is filled up
      With storms and heavy rain
      And trouble comes sliding
      Across my mind
      It's hard for me to see
      Which road I've got to take
      I know I need to find a way
      To leave it all behind

      Let it shine on
      Let it shine on
      Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me
      Let it shine on
      Let it shine on
      Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me

      Let it shine on
      Let it shine on
      Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me
      Let it shine on
      Let it shine on
      Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me

      Let it shine on
      Let it shine on
      Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me
      Let it shine on
      Let it shine on
      Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me

    7. Sun Is Shining

      Every morning
      I get up
      Look out the window
      I get up
      See the sunshine
      Breathing down
      Every morning comes around

      Every morning
      I get up
      Look out the window
      I get up
      See the sunshine
      Beating down
      Every morning comes around

      Waves are breaking
      I'm in the water

      The sun is shining down
      The air is buzzing

      Through the curtains
      I look out
      And the sun is melting the ground
      When I'm walking through the town
      Oh every morning, every morning
      Through the curtains I look out
      And the sun is melting the ground

      Waves are breaking
      I'm in the water

      The sun is shining down
      The air is buzzing
      The sun is shining down
      Mother nature's (the air is) buzzing

      In the city
      For the people
      See the buildings
      Crowd together

      The sun is shining down
      The air is shinning
      Come on now
      Let me know now
      Tell me, tell me, tell me now

      Listen to me
      Can you hear me?
      Ooo Hear me
