Fire
Jimi Hendrix Lyrics

Alright,
Now dig this, baby

You don't care for me
I don'-a care about that
Gotta new fool, ha!
I like it like that

I have only one burning desire
Let me stand next to your fire

Let me stand next to your fire (Repeat 4 times)

Listen here, baby
And stop acting so crazy
You say your mum ain't home,
It ain't my concern,
Just play with me and you won't get burned

I have only one itching desire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire (Repeat 4 times)

Oh! Move over, Rover
And let Jimi take over
Yeah, you know what I'm talking 'bout
Yeah, get on with it, baby
That's what I'm talking 'bout
Now dig this!
Ha!
Now listen, baby

You try to gimme your money
You better save it, babe
Save it for your rainy day
I have only one burning desire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire

@Stephanie Loving ha good story Staphanie I'm only 15 and this song is amazing I listen to more bands like Black sabbath, Rush, and Led Zeppelin man I wish I lived in the 60s 70s or 80s

William, my brother (4 yrs older) learned I'd pay to hear a 45 or a song off an LP. Started at 25cents. Then I heard Fire and I asked to listen to it toooo often (I was 9). Price for Hendrix went up to 50cents. I did more chores (pestered my parents who thought I was just being industrious) and got more money. Then I could listen any time. My brother didn't dare raise the cost higher. He knew I'd boycott and he liked the change in his pocket ;o) (this is 1966-67). Hey for me? All worth it.

Why do you label this as a studio version? It’s clearly an awful live version. Invest some time in the album version. It’ll be a treat…and you’l learn something

Kelly Farrell

NOT recorded album version. The last time I shared, probably five years echo. It was pulled shortly thereafter. Copyright.

Who the fuck owns his rights?

nyrockchicxx

@Clyde Smith Right. It's his sister. I thought it was her mother. (Same really) And there was issue with it because as I previously stated, she was born after Jimi left home and didn't really know him, or what he was about. She's not his full sibling but a half from his father's 2nd wife. Jimi & Leon's mother Lucille was long out of the picture. Anyway because of that relation Leon felt he should be in charge. But Leon was shown to have been too unstable in his life to manage the estate, so the judge awarded it to the sister.

Clyde Smith

@nyrockchicxx his SISTER has control and I believe she is the only FULL sibling Jimi had as his brothers are half brothers and I've met Leon who is a great guy and even resembles Jimi but it's in the best hands and closest blood relative which is OK considering it could've been with someone else or an entity not in his family

It's super complicated. His brother tried to get them but was blocked, then supposedly his father had the rights but was clueless and treated them badly. He died, and supposedly again the brother went into court. I believe he lost the case, and his father's WIFE, who had NOTHING at all to do with Jimi, or his brother, because the father married her later in life, long after Jimi died, is the one in charge. Can you beat that b.s.?!
