Cold Chisel — Flame Trees lyrics. OK, got it! Flame Trees - by Cold Chisel. Number one is to find some friends to say "You're doing wel Number three is never say her name. And Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver And there's nothing else could set fire to this town There's no change, there's no pace, Everything within it's place Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around.
But Oh! Who needs that sentimental bullshit, anyway? You know it takes more than just a memory to make me cry And I'm happy just to sit here, at a table with old friends And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies. And there's a girl, she's falling in love, near where the pianola stands..
With a young local factory auto-worker, just holding hands And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay. Do you remember, nothing stopped us on the field in our day Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver And there's nothing else could set fire to this town. There's no change, there's no pace, Everything within it's place Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around. Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver And there's nothing else could set fire to this town. Add song structure elements.

The Flame tree is a Monocotyledon and is more closely related to grass than other trees. It is usually found in rain forests.
Sarah Blasko does a fabulous version of this song. Add your reply. I see this as a song about love and loss. And I was reminded of it as I drove home from work tonight and the classic Cold Chisel tune Flame Trees came on the radio. So I decided to find out what inspired them. I thought this was a great insight into the band. But the most surprising of them all was Choir Girl.
