I'm Gonna Set the World Alight...

More from The Damned, who are playing the O.C. tomorrow. Three versions of "Ignite" for you, the lead track on Side One of the band's blockbuster 1982 LP, "Strawberries." The studio version is at bottom, so compare and contrast to the live perfomances:

Twilight comes and the mood's complete
Gonna hit the street grab some of that night time beat
My heart is beat beat beating like a drum
The night is in my veins we're gonna have some fun tonight

Light the fuse I must ignite
I'm gonna set the world alight
Light the fuse I must ignite
I'm gonna set the world alight

I wanna see you burn

I killed the cigarette I killed the light
I'm killing time the heat kills me on a hot summer night
I'm gonna dream a life live a dream
Hell for leather in my scheme of things tonight

Light the fuse I must ignite
I'm gonna set the world alight
Light the fuse I must ignite
I'm gonna set the world alight
