Fire and Water

After ‘All Right Now’ and ‘Wishing Well’,

‘Fire and Water’

Is by far my favourite

FREE

Song from the Seventies:

All Paul Rogers’ raucous vocals &

Paul Kossoff’s inimitable, laid-back, lead-guitar-style,

… As showcased by my wife

[Then Head Girl of the Grammar School]

In one Morning Assembly

[At almost ‘stadium-worthy’ volume]

Which all but cost her her ‘badge’! …

.

Today I awoke in France to find

That Fire and Water

Were less romantically and more seriously related:

News showed crews facing down multiple firestorms.

With what…?

 .

Water.

.

Just water

Plus the immense bravery of the firecrews.

.

Overdose of fire.

Underdose of water.

.

So we pour on the latter to neutralise the former.

 .

… Which leaves us with ..?
