“Dig for Fire” is a single from Bossanova. When asked about the song’s meaning, Black Francis explained:
It’s all nonsense, a bad Talking Heads imitation. Just like any other cool rock ‘n roll song or pop song, the CONTENT isn’t what hits you.
(Music Express, October 1990)
Dig for Fire Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There is this old woman
She lives down the road
You can often find her kneelin' inside of her hole
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I often ask her
"Are you lookin' for the mother lode?" Huh? No?
"No, my child, this is not my desire"
And then she said
[Chorus]
"I'm diggin' for fire
I'm diggin' for fire
I'm diggin' for fire (Fire, for fire)
I'm diggin' for fire" (I'm diggin' for fire)
[Verse 2]
There is this old man who spent so much of his life sleeping
That he is able to keep awake for the rest of his years
He resides
On a beach
In a town where I am going to live
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I often ask him
"Are you lookin' for the mother lode?" Huh? No?
"No, my child, this is not my desire"
And then he said
[Chorus]
"I'm diggin' for fire
I'm diggin' for fire (For fire)
I'm diggin' for fire (Fire, for fire)
I'm diggin' for fire, I'm diggin' for fire, fire, fire
I'm diggin' for fire, I'm diggin' for fire
Oh, fire, oh, fire
I'm diggin' for, I'm diggin'
For fire"
