ETERNAL FLAME - chords and comments
At the bottom you'll find a link to the complete lyrics.
In 1987, Susanna Hoffs from the marvellous "The Bangles" teamed up with the hit-partners Billy Steinberg/Thomas Kelly and committed the most jelly babe love song ever written. The only reason for me to endorse it, was that it became one of my wife's favorites. She was a simple-minded but obstinated girl, and I loved her. I still do; twentyfive years after her death. She called it "our song", and she was right, as usual. I just found the song unbearable, especially repeated with every beer she had, and they were many.
So, after all these years, I've found that she was right, as usual. That f... song HAS qualities. To get it out of my mind, I've adapted it. Here it is: my eternal flame. Thanks to Susanna, Billy and Thomas and may you rot and burn ...
