During the song "Little Torch" or "Firefighter" (depending on whether or not you listen to Rocket House or the Live album), Chris Whitley sings:
"Like a million to one,
you're the one,
I would side with you
you're the one
As bright as you want to
you're the one
(?)Now I'm 'bout to rise and run(?)
..."
The lyric between the question marks is the one I have a hard time understanding. That's the closest transcription of it I can get. Anyone have any ideas? I'm looking at you Kevin, or maybe you Fluffy if you get a spare moment to look at the boards. |

Hey Jay, There is a "Poison Girl" EP that came out in support of "LWTL". It is solo acoustic versions of songs from "LWTL" and as the name would imply, there is a solo acoustic version of Poison Girl that I think might be the definitive version. You can find it on ebay periodically and also in used CD shops. If you don't have any luck, I do have a copy and may be able to burn you a copy. It is out of print. Hope you can find it, you will definitely enjoy it. As for Firefighter or Little Torch, I prefer FireFighter as the title. Little Torch makes me think of a Hendrix song, Firefighter brings nothing to mind but CW. |

Firefighter...Little Torch is just as good, but I prefer live solo over just about anything. Poison Girl is case in point. Live at Martyrs has been in my stereo for three months, no joke. |

That site looks pretty good! Thanks guys.
And another question, do you like the title "Little Torch" or "Firefighter" better? I'm partial to "Firefighter" myself. |

On a related note, a fansite... www.chriswhitley.net just opened up this last week. It looks pretty comprehensive. |

Great song, that's what the lyrics is acording to the Martyr's insert. I definately like that version best. |
