Lyrics: there is this old woman she lives down the road you can often find her kneeling inside of her hole and I often ask her "are you looking for the mother lode?" huh? no. no my child, this is not my desire and then she said
I'm digging for fire I'm digging for fire I'm digging for fire I'm digging for fire
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 and I often ask him "are you looking for the mother lode?" huh? no. no my child, this is not my desire and then he said
I'm digging for fire I'm digging for fire I'm digging for fire I'm digging for fire for fire!
Quotes: Oh, 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. I mean, what the hell is 'London Calling'? I don't know anything about stupid English punk politics, but 'London Calling' sounds TOTALLY great. That's all it is. Gosh, I'm so tired of people referring to me as hopelessly obscure. I mean, pick up a Beatles album - come on! Who knows what those songs were about? Nobody knows. - Music Express, October 1990
