This was released as Gaeilge on the Seachtain na Gaeilge 2010 CD: CEOL 10: SÚIL SIAR. “Flame” is a single by the Irish pop rock quintet, Bell X1, and the second to be taken from the band’s third album Flock. It was released on 10 March 2006. It entered the Irish Singles Chart on 16 March 2006, spending four weeks there and peaking at #12. The BBC described it and follow-up single “Rocky Took a Lover” as “two of the finest pieces of music written on this island”, though lamented its lack of international success.[2] The song was later included in a collection of works giving a “sense of the noughties” put together by Vincent Murphy and broadcast on Morning Ireland on 31 December 2009.

English

When your hand brushed against mine
I thought I'd collapse
I'm no rolling stone
I gather too much moss
Maybe it's 'cos I'm getting
A little bit older
But oh how your neck
Flows to your shoulder
It draws me, it draws me to your flame

I wanna be near you
And blink in your light
And toast marshmallows
On a cold dark night
By your flame

I wanna be near you
And blink in your light
And toast marshmallows
On a cold dark night

Your flesh it melts in my mouth
Like Holy Communion
But you don't really care for
Jesus now do you?

A photograph of this love
Hangs on my wall
I would dare to speak its name
If I knew what it was called
I would dare to speak its name
If I knew what it was called

Rattle the one who's shadow
You're standing in
Under the branches after
It's been raining
On your flame
I wanna be near you
And blink in your light
And toast marshmallows
On a cold dark night
By your flame

I wanna be near you
And blink in your light
And toast marshmallows
On a cold dark night
By your flame

I wanna be near you
And blink in your light
And toast marshmallows
On a cold dark night

Your brought your flame
Into the chambers of my heart
You brought your flame
Where all's been condemned to dark
And now your flame
Spits shadows on my walls

Rattle the one who's shadow
You're standing in
Under the branches after
It's been raining
On your flame

Rattle the one who's shadow
You're standing in
Under the branches after
It's been raining
On your flame

Rattle the one who's shadow
You're standing in
Under the branches after
It's been raining
On your flame

Rattle the one who's shadow
You're standing in
Under the branches after
It's been raining
On your flame

I wanna be near you
And blink in your light
And toast marshmallows
On a cold dark night

I wanna be near you
And blink in your light
And toast marshmallows
On a cold dark night

I wanna be near you
And blink in your light
And toast marshmallows
On a cold dark night

I wanna be near you
And blink in your light
And toast marshmallows
On a cold dark night
