This song follows a narrator who refuses to solve their problems, opting instead to “burn” them away until they themselves catch fire. The line “It goes one in the bank and the rest for me” may also be a reference to the Beatles' song “Taxman” with the line “One for you, nineteen for me”
Burning Pile Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All my style, all my grace
All I tried to save my face
All my guts, try to spill
All my holes, try to fill
All my money been a long time spent
On my drugs, on my rent
On my saving philosophy
It goes one in the bank and the rest for me
[Chorus]
It goes, all my troubles on a burning pile
All lit up and I start to smile
If I catch fire then I'll change my aim
Throw my troubles at the pearly gates
[Post-Chorus]
Ohh...
Oh oh-oh, oh oh oh-oh oh
(Oh oh oh)
[Verse 2]
My momma, lonely maid
Got her buns in the oven, and she never got laid
My papa, renaissance man
Sailed away and he never came back again
[Chorus]
All my troubles on a burning pile
All lit up and I start to smile
If I catch fire then I'll change my aim
Throw my troubles at the pearly gates
[Bridge]
Ahhh, ahhh
All your woe begones be gone
I said all your troubles, you don't need a thing
[Chorus]
All my troubles on a burning pile
All lit up and I start to smile
If I catch fire then I'll change my aim
Throw my troubles at the world again
It goes, all my troubles on a burning pile
All lit up and I start to smile
If I catch fire then I'll take my turn
To burn and burn and burn
[Outro]
