Burning down the roof

[dash_zero]

Is this the name of a song, or at least a main lyric?

[iamORION]

There's a song by Talking Heads dating from the mid 80's that has the lyric "Burning down the house" although I'm not sure if it shares the title.

"Same as it ever was, same as it ever was".....

There's a song called The roof is on fire by The Bloodhound Gang.

[Cappuccino]

I don't think iamORION is seeking to confuse, but "same as it ever was" came from Once In A Lifetime.

Here are the lyrics for Burning Down The House, which was covered by Tom Jones and The Cardigans (together) a few years back.

Watch out you might get what you're after
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

Hold tight wait 'til the party's over
Hold tight we're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house

Here's your ticket pack your bag; time for jumpin' overboard
Transportation is here
Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire

All wet hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred sixty five degrees
Burning down the house

It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work say baby what did you expect
Gonna burst into flame
Go ahead

My house S'out of the ordinary
That's right Don't want to hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

No visible means of support and you have not seen nothing yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire

Burning down the house
Burning down the house
Burning down the house
