"On the 11th July 2009 we played our last show as Tonight is Goodbye. We had the time of our lives playing songs through the past 3 years, in an hour and a half that we will never forget, along with the faces in the crowd who made it very special. All good things must come to an end, but closing these doors leads to the opening of others and recently we have opened some that we could never have seen before. We're excited to show you what's been keeping us busy.

Tonight is Goodbye were a hook-ridden pop-punk band hailing from the depths of Buckinghamshire. Forming in 2005 they have more than proved their worth in the short years they were together. 2006 saw the band play the Brixton Academy leg of the Taste of Chaos tour whilst 2007 saw the band release ‘The Birds and the Bees’ EP on Tree Brain Records. 2007 also saw the band embark on a number of tours up and down the country.
2008 saw the band record a new EP, 'Castles', and headline the UK Now! Stage of the Slam Dunk Festival, all the whilst not letting up on their touring schedule.
Recently it was posted in a blog on their official myspace that members Tom Howe (bass) and Callum Hawes (guitar) have left the band. They are not splitting up however, and are going to back playing shows a lot sooner than you think (sic).
Fire In The Hole
Tonight Is Goodbye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Listen up lady stop putting it off
I'm telling you something that's beginning to get to me
It's time to take a seat and talk
Fire in the hole leads to tissue in your hand
As your pride's drippinig down your eyes
A real man would tell you where to go
But this little boy covered up with little lies
I know that I'm thinking it all the time, I know you feel it too
Oh why oh why do girls always cry when you tell them that their past their sell buy
Oh why oh why do girls always cry when everybody knows we're living secret lives
Fire in the whole I've got something to say to you
And it's not exactly pretty news
It's been building up and burning up to boiling point
My head said I had no choice
Fire in the hole leads to everything you love being pushed to hate
Your my sky scraper
The lyrics of Tonight Is Goodbye's song Fire in the Hole seem to be about a destructive and possibly toxic relationship, with the singer speaking up and airing his grievances to his partner, whom he addresses as "Fire in the Hole". He urges her to stop putting off their conversation and listen to what he has to say. He feels that something in the relationship is starting to get to him and it’s time they had an honest talk. However, the singer seems to be conflicted between being a "real man" and "this little boy covered up with little lies", suggesting that he may not always have been honest with his partner.
The singer then addresses the theme of insecurity of women and how they react when they are told about their past. He wonders why girls always cry when they are told that they are past their sell-by date, and why they cry when everyone knows that they live secret lives. This possibly implies that the partner has been keeping secrets, something that has been bothering the singer for some time.
The chorus seems to be a call to the partner to listen to the singer's concerns and the metaphorical fire in the hole building up to boiling point. The singer feels that if nothing is done to address the underlying issues, everything they love may be pushed to hate.
Overall, the song blends vulnerable lyrics with a punk-rock vibe, portraying the complexities and challenges in navigating an unhappy relationship.
