Kerosene is a combustible hydrocarbon liquid. The name is derived from Greek keros (κηρός wax). The word "Kerosene" was registered as a trademark by Abraham Gesner in 1854, and for several years, only the North American Gas Light Company and the Downer Company (to which Gesner had granted the right) were allowed to call their lamp oil "Kerosene" in the United States of America. It eventually became a genericized trademark. It is sometimes spelled kerosine in scientific and industrial usage. The term "kerosene" is usual in much of Canada, the United States, Australia (where it can be referred to colloquially as "kero") and New Zealand.
Kerosene is usually called paraffin in the UK, Southeast Asia and South Africa. A more viscous paraffin oil is used as a laxative. A waxy solid extracted from petroleum is also called paraffin. Kerosene is widely used to power jet engines of aircraft (jet fuel) and some rocket engines, but is also commonly used as a cooking and lighting fuel and for fire toys such as poi. In parts of Asia, where the price of kerosene is subsidized, it fuels outboard motors on small fishing boats.
Miranda Leigh Shelton (née Lambert) (born November 10, 1983) is an American country music artist who gained fame as a finalist on the 2003 season of Nashville Star, where she finished in third place and later signed to Epic Records. Lambert made her debut with the release of "Me and Charlie Talking", the first single from her 2005 debut album Kerosene. This album, which was certified Platinum in the United States, also produced the singles "Bring Me Down", "Kerosene", and "New Strings". All four singles were Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts.
After Epic's Nashville division closed, Lambert was transferred to Columbia Records Nashville for her second album, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, which was released in early 2007. Although the title track failed to make top 40, the next three singles ("Famous in a Small Town", "Gunpowder & Lead", and "More Like Her") were all Top 20 hits, with "Gunpowder & Lead" becoming her first Top 10 country hit in July 2008. Lambert's third album, Revolution, was released in September 2009. Five singles have been released from the album, including Lambert's two Number One hits "The House That Built Me," which spent four weeks at the top of the chart, and "Heart Like Mine". Lambert has also been honored by the Grammy Awards, the Academy of Country Music Awards, and the Country Music Association Awards.
Brother Bones (October 4, 1902 – June 14, 1974) was an American whistling and bone playing recording artist from Montgomery, Alabama. Born Freeman Davis, his late 1940s recording of the 1925 standard "Sweet Georgia Brown," became internationally famous after being adopted as the theme song of the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team in 1952. Despite the success of this record, Brother Bones himself remained relatively unknown.
Another of his recordings, "Black Eyed Susan Brown", was sampled in the De La Soul song, "Pease Porridge," on their 1991 album, De La Soul is Dead.
"Sweet Georgia Brown" was used in the Vauxhall Meriva television advertisement in the UK.
He died in June 1974, in Long Beach, California, at the age of 71.

STEPHAN BODZIN
everywhere I look I see
exclusive huddled
uninviting shelter
is privilege
of the same and competent
kerosene keeps me warm
I'm alone to watch it burn
kerosene
exposure is a pitiful
and pointless way of dying
before it gets me
I'll set a funeral pyre
kerosene keeps me warm
I'm alone to watch it burn
kerosene
i'm a man and
my dignity won't wave
Tonight buildings rage!
kerosene keeps me warm
it feels so good
to watch it burn kerosene
kerosene keeps me warm
feels so good
I was born in this town (this town, this town, this town)
And I lived here my whole life (my whole life, my whole life)
And I'm probably going to die in this town
And I lived here my whole life
There's never anything to do in this town
And I lived here my whole life
There's kerosene around
She's something to do
There's kerosene around
Find something to do
Kerosene around, she's something to do
Kerosene around, find something to do
Kerosene around, she's something to do
Kerosene around, set me on fire
Set me on fire, kerosene
Set me on fire, kerosene
Set me on fire, kerosene
Set me on fire, kerosene
Set me on fire
Never anything to do in this town
And I lived here my whole life
Nothing to do, sit around at home
Sit around at home and stare at the walls
Stare at each other, wait till we die
Stare at each other, wait till we die
Probably going to die in this town
And I lived here my whole life
There's kerosene around
She's something to do
Kerosene around, now what do we do?
Jump kerosene, now what do we do?
Kerosene around, there's nothing to do
Jump kerosene, now what do we do?
Never anything do in this town
Never anything but jump kerosene
Never anything do in this town
Never anything but jump kerosene
Set me on fire, kerosene
Set me on fire, kerosene
Set me on fire, kerosene
Set me on fire, kerosene
I'm waitin' on the sun to set 'cause yesterday ain't over yet
I started smokin' cigarettes there's nothing else to do I guess
Dusty roads ain't made for walkin', spinnin' tires ain't made for stoppin'
I'm givin' up on love 'cause love's given up on me
I gave it everything I had and everything I got was bad
Life ain't hard but it's too long livin' like some country song
Trade the truth in for a lie, cheatin' really ain't a crime
I'm givin' up on love 'cause love's given up on me
Forget your high society, I'm soakin' it in Kerosene
Light 'em up and watch them burn, teach 'em what they need to learn, ha
Dirty hands ain't made for shakin', ain't a rule that ain't worth breakin'
Well I'm givin' up on love 'cause love's given up on me
Now I don't hate the one who left, you can't hate someone who's dead
He's out there holding on to someone, I'm holding up my smoking gun
I'll find somewhere to lay my blame the day she changes her last name
Well I'm givin' up on love 'cause love's given up on me
The guess the knowing
The paleness and the glance
Let shades so soundless
Surround our innocence
And we know ...
The gloom the brightness
Beyond of the within
And greedy seeks the serpent
For truth in every sin
And we know that we both lost
And we know ...
I´m your ruin
And you´re my ruiness
But don´t be scared let´s do the wrong
I´m kerosene
And you´re the raging blaze
So let it happen lead me on
The plus and minus
The going and return
It does not matter
I was born in this town
Live here my whole life
Probably come to die in this town
Live here my whole life
Never anything to do in this town
Live here my whole life
Never anything to do in this town
Live here my whole life
Probably learn to die in this town
Live here my whole life
Nothing to do, sit around at home
Sit around at home, stare at the walls
Stare at each other and wait till we die
Stare at each other and wait till we die
Probably come to die in this town
Live here my whole life
There's Kerosene around, something to do
There's Kerosene around, she's something to do
There's Kerosene around, she's something to do
There's Kerosene around, we'll find something to do

Kerosene around, set me on fire

Jumped Kerosene, now what do we do?
Kerosene around, nothing to do
Jumped Kerosene, now what do we do?
Never anything to do in this town
Never anything but jump Kerosene
Never anything to do in this town
Never anything
Jump Kerosene
Set me on fire, Kerosene
Set me on fire, Kerosene
Set me on fire, Kerosene
Set me on fire, Kerosene
Here we are
Shallow but inspired
Jumping into fires we set
Here we are
We're dumb enough to learn
Risking all we know to forget
So don't make me lead the way
Or make me say
It's real
The way
I feel
Chorus
'cause words burn like kerosene
Flickering
Then gone
Words burn like kerosene
Seldom seen again
Well damn the lies
I'm choking on the truth
Time is passing by
It's no excuse
Stale goodbyes
Oh really what's the use
To try and save what we long to lose
So don't make me lead the way
Or make me say
It's real
The way
I feel
Chorus
'cause words burn like kerosene
Flickering
Then gone
Words burn like kerosene
Seldom seen again
Words burn like kerosene
Flickering
Then gone
Words burn like kerosene
Seldom seen again
Sometimes you need to go astray
So throw caution to the wind
Sometimes it carries you away
Ohh please don't hate me when I say
Words burn like kerosene
Flickering
Then gone
Words burn like kerosene
Seldom seen again
Kerosene
Oh seldom seen
Ohh oh oh
Please excuse my ignorance,
But isn't this what men strive lifetimes for?
The price is high, but consequence
Of spinelessness will cost much more
Kerosene
Carry me
If my faith gives way I have nothing.
Nothing.
If I lose my grip I've gained none at all.
Please excuse my arrogance,
But where do you think inspiration lies?
Hate the life, love the depth
Shovels can't be sanitized
Kerosene
Carry me
If my faith gives way I have nothing.
Nothing.
If I lose my grip I've gained none at all.
Intergalactic gas surrounds the core of the solar
Now I'm born a supernova, blow your mind to bipolar
I switch my league from the degrees of lava
Back to the surface of the solar
Holding torches with the rage of Iatola
I snare trap the Fahrenheit, and ignite electrolytes
Now I hold the aftermath of pipe bombs and back drafts
My lyricism holds your mind like a Pharaoh
So I command MC's to burn to the 3rd degree
Then proceed to bone marrow
I'm the arsonist who confuse tools criminologist use
Lighter fluid lace my vocal tone, the flame is the chaperon
Don't engage the sun dweller, fire starter from the cellar
I scorch the outer limits and fossilize all ligaments
I'm flammable
This situation is fire, arsenic live wire
Don't intervene when I'm standing in the kerosene
Time's about to expire, will I ever retire
I got a scheme with the lighter and the gasoline
This situation is fire, arsenic live wire
Don't intervene when I'm standing in the kerosene
Time's about to expire, will I ever retire
I got a scheme with the lighter and the gasoline
I crave to misbehave with heat waves and laser rays
Lightning storms leave you torn and send debre airborne
Protective fire suits and gas mask don't comply
When the live arsonist improvise and optimize
The method to immobilize and victimize
Witness hells architect, spit brimstone dialect
With nitrogen concepts I blow your manuscript to level X
Unlimited carnage supply when I the human scorch
Blow torch your front porch, and do it twice like Gemini
Volcanic bandit insane, with the rapid fire propane
My C-4 is qualified, cloud of ashes fill the sky
Choice of fuel acid rain, blow your mind from sub terrain
I return to supernova baptize in the solar
This situation is fire, arsenic live wire
Don't intervene when I'm standing in the kerosene
Time's about to expire, will I ever retire
I got a scheme with the lighter and the gasoline
This situation is fire, arsenic live wire
Don't intervene when I'm standing in the kerosene
Time's about to expire, will I ever retire
I got a scheme with the lighter and the gasoline, yo
I rain fire, I burn live wires and cause friction
Spit flames that will give your brain addictions
I cross lines like crucifixions with Celsius degrees
And temperatures that will lock in position
It's my dereliction, when I'm inside your jurisdiction
Shut 'em down and lock 'em out like evictions
Arsenic heat no restrictions
Verbal back drafts of demolition never programmable
I'm flammable
This situation is fire, arsenic live wire
Don't intervene when I'm standing in the kerosene
Times about to expire, will I ever retire?
I got a scheme with the lighter and the gasoline
This situation is fire, arsenic live wire
Don't intervene when I'm standing in the kerosene
Times about to expire, will I ever retire?
I need a new skin, an enemy to call a friend
Just to lie one more time
To steal my heart away, everything will be okay
Nothing tastes quite like denial
[Pre-Chorus]
And I've got nothing to lose, it's colored like a bruise
The way you left me
And I've got nothing to hide, it died inside
The way it should be
[Chorus]
I'm sorry I didn't smile today, my house is on fire again
So bring to me kerosene, my house is on fire again
I fake one more smile, the plastic one I've worn for miles
Just to keep wearing the crown
And crack one more joke, laugh 'till I almost choked
'Till nothing tastes quite like denial
[Pre-Chorus + Chorus]
Kerosene
My house is on fire again
Kerosene, -sene..
My house is on fire again
[Chorus x2]
Now there's no where left to go
Cause I know how it should be
Something LIt up in the back of my head
For a minute i could finally see
It went dark again
No that's where I am
But I'm not here at all
Kerosene Kerosene
Lit you up and left you clean
Kerosene Kerosene
Lit you up and left you somewhere in between
Use this as a wishing well
When I try I only get it wrong
It's time to everything at all
I've ready known
Blind to every kiss from beyond
Built a room in the sky
Window on the floor
But it wasn't like before
Kerosene Kerosene
Lit you up and left you clean
Kerosene Kerosene
Lit you up and left you somewhere in between
I can't believe it's come to this
I chased you off the cliff
Your moments come and gone
And still don't understand
Even you know I know it's where it was
Sleeping in my empty house
Kerosene Kerosene
Lit you up and left you clean
Kerosene Kerosene
Lit you up and left you somewhere in between
In between
In between
I know how it should be
Where I know it should be
I know where I should be
I know where I should be

Ever see that damn thing, that burned out shell

Burn you down you try to...improvise

wind comes up through the trees
first time softly cleansing breeze
second time angry ill at ease, ill at ease
all ablaze in the western sky
one spark, cruel wind, open fire
here comes arson with its violent desire
Kerosene, Kerosene
in the wild west bible story
the devil-like fire comes bathed in glory
hot wind flush again my skin
brings back thoughts of wandering
back from where i first began, back then
I need a new skin, an enemy to call a friend
Just to lie one more time
To steal my heart away, everything will be okay
Nothing tastes quite like denial
And I've got nothing to lose, it's colored like a bruise
The way you left me
And I've got nothing to hide, it died inside
The way it should be
I'm sorry I didn't smile today, my house is on fire again
So bring to me kerosene, my house is on fire again
I fake one more smile, the plastic one I've worn for miles
Just to keep wearing the crown
And crack one more joke, laugh 'till I almost choked
'Till nothing tastes quite like denial
Kerosene
My house is on fire again
Kerosene, -sene..
With kerosene I think I'm gonna torture her tonight
and all the words that she wrote down were written off and torn out of my spine
just to spite what we once were
crease the pages close the curtains
put your hands all over me
yeah write those ugly words or pack your bags and run away
you were always good for that
With memories I think I'm gonna torture her tonight
all the words that she wrote down with cut her up send shivers down her spine
If you fly away across the sea fill me out a postcard there
but don't send it roaming back to me
there's a better place for words to be
dig a hole a keep them there
She slips from the lip of a cup
And I am the wick that licks her up
I'm drunk from the fuel inside her head
As it spills from her lips and soaks the bed
Like kerosene
She peels back the sheets
And coats my spine
And she strips faster than terpentine
Like kerosene
Don't put me out
I'll play with the fire
That inscinerates
Until her desire
Evaporates
Like kerosene
Watching you in your secret room
Diving in your hypocrisy
So enslaved by your dirty soul
Stealing lives, your main priority
Gentle smile, demon’s eyes
You keep crawling under my skin
You made me blind, you made me numb
Here comes a time, a new begin
Come out from your shelter
Face the truth and world outside
Voices of temptation
Look out, you’ll get swept away
Feed yourself with blood and snakes
You live a one way cold existence
So enslaved by your dirty hands
I’ll never get fooled again
Now I know you!
I won’t play your game!
Do you remember when I saw you staring at the moon?
Do you recall those nights when you shared your secrets
with the stars?
So sick and tired you can barely stand on your feet
Shadows behind your eyes
Don’t be afraid my hand is open wide
Are you feeling fine?
Please tell me is everything all right?
So don’t waste your time
Tell me is everything all right?
Here you sit alone the rain keeps pouring down
Don’t wait for that day to come
Don’t be afraid my hand is open wide
Are you feeling fine?
Please tell me is everything all right?
Don’t throw your life away
Tell me is everything all right?
How do you feel?
How do you feel?
A strange sensation
Time’s moving along too fast
Getting a mad reaction, ready to explode!
Drowning in my nightmares,
Memories of all my fears
Lost in the sea of my unconsciousness, wondering what is
real
Feeling so defeated
Suffocated by all that I left behind
Nothing seems to satisfy
Hiding from all my frustrations
Labeled a monster
Or crowned like a king
There’s always so much to bear
Just like a thousand thorns in the flank
Feeling so defeated
Suffocated by all that I left behind
Nothing seems to satisfy
You make ‘em so envious
They’re always so stuck on you
You’re the shiver that runs up their spine
You make ‘em feel so alive
But something has changed
Something will never be the same
You got that perfect style
Not afraid to speak your mind
You got fire runnin’ through your veins
Fearless, you say “No pain ‒ no gain”
Something has changed
Something will never be the same
You got your brain, there’s no one to blame
Fuck all those words that drive you insane
You got your dreams, don’t need lies and greed
They just try to be what they will never be
They’re always so afraid to fail
Wish they got half of your pluck
They just want to pull you down
But they don’t know you’ll never hit the ground
Something has changed
Something will never be the same
You got your brain, there’s no one to blame
Fuck all those words that drive you insane
You got your dreams, don’t need lies and greed
Who thinks I’ll change my mind?
For sure it can’t be you
Who thinks I won’t survive in this world that seems so
cruel?
But you think I’m not the same for what I use to do
You think that I’ll get lost; I’ll prove that won’t be
true!
I’ll never get caught in your rules
You’ll never see my blood on the floor
What would you say if I walk away?
It’s time for me to say “No more”!!!
This world just wants you to, to sacrifice your life
It’s only pain and pride, so many tears and cries
You claim it’s just a sign of my mediocrity
I never wanted to be thrown away
I’m not a victim 'til I let you take me down
I can’t crawl thorough the flames that eat my flesh
It’s not just a game, I need to fight, fight to stay
alive
I never say forever ‘cause forever’s a lie
I can see right through you and I can’t ignore you
Everything you’ve done is crushing everyone
Push me into darkness, but I will never be afraid
I won’t be afraid
Now you think I’ve reached the end, but you don’t know
I’m made of scars
You won’t erase what I am
Now you think I’ve reached the end, but you don’t know
I’m made of scars
You won’t erase what I am
Prophets of lost souls wanna guide me towards the light
I know what’s wrong and I know what it’s right
You think I’m a fool, but I don’t even care
I never asked for anything, I’m not asking now
I’ll never be afraid
I won’t be afraid
Now you think I’ve reached the end, but you don’t know
I’m made of scars
You won’t erase what I am
Now you think I’ve reached the end, but you don’t know
I’m made of scars
Madness, destruction, it’s all I see around
Hopeless surrender, people dying on the ground
Too much confusion is growing in my head
Got no solution, evil draws his plan again…
I can’t find a reason
Violence and hate they’re just crushing me
A wicked human instinct
Who will change our mother earth destiny?
Look in the mirror and tell me what you see
Soul desolation, a deafening silence’s killing me
Pictures of smoke and fire, industries of death and pain
So here’s the last of what I was
And here’s the best of what I want
So who can run on lapse
From here to kerosene and back
It’s a subtle tact
Cos for once I’m feeling fine
Drink kerosene and laugh
And rejoice in all we left behind
You said, You said, You said you still miss me
I won't, I won't I won't let this mess with my head
I said, I said, I said why don’t you just drop
I said why don't you just drop dead?
So here’s my attempt at playing cards
I’m still alone in crashing cars
We’re still smiling when it’s on
And I can’t be the only one
To save some common sense
For the feelings that I vent
I’m home at last
We drink kerosene and laugh
You said, You said, You said that you still miss me
I won't, I won't I won't let this mess with my head
I said, I said, I said why don't you just drop
I said why don't you just drop dead?
You said, You said, You said that you still miss me
I won't, I won't I won't let this mess with my head
I said, I said, I said why don't you just drop
Long lost friend
Where have you been?
I could write a novel
On things being alright in the end
I'm sick, become an eyesore
In the same breath I'd loose the battle
But win the war
Oh how did it come to this?
I break more than I give
Think of all the sunsets
You never told me different
You only showed me imprints
Of the faces I once cared for,
Oh my hollow heart beats
I guess I’ve already gone this far
I couldn’t say it any faster
Put up with me
Watch me become an addiction
I just want some love
Corrupted radio transmission
From a satellite
That I set alight
I told you
Won't you come back soon?
Panicked on the outside
I'm a lover on the inside
I would trade it all for
A weekend at the seaside
In the things I say and do
And all the places I've been to
Who’s got time for me now?
I only stopped to kiss you
Oh wherever my heart may be
That’s where you'll find me
Think of all the heartbreak
Think of all the mistakes
You know I still drink
Shots in the dark like you
I guess I’ve already gone this far
I couldn’t say it any faster
Put up with me
Watch me become an addiction
I just want some love
Corrupted radio transmission
From a satellite
That I set alight
I told you
Won't you come back soon?
Until “best friend’s” halts all conversation
Would you call me up? Would you throw me away?
Like hugs mid day to save communication
Until making mistakes becomes a desperation
When you walk out on me for someone more
Will you wish you'd said a little less
Than you did before?
Put up with me
Watch me become an addiction
I just want some love
Corrupted radio transmission
From a satellite
That I set alight
I told you
