| | EFFIGY Lyrics Artist(Band):Creedence Clearwater Revival
I saw a fire burning on The palace lawn. O'er the land The humble subjects watched in mixed Emotion. CHORUS: Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy. Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy. Last night I saw the fire spreadin' to The palace door. Silent majority Weren't keepin' quiet Anymore. CHORUS Last night I saw the fire spreadin' to The country side. In the mornin' Few were left to watch The ashes die. CHORUS Why? Why? Why? Effigy. If you find some error in EFFIGY Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about EFFIGY Hauntingly awesome | Reviewer: Go Fogey | 10/21/09 CCR lyrics, in my opinion, are certainly in the normal folk / country story telling method. When I hear this song, I certainly get a sense of a dark night lit up in flames. Though mostly metaphorical it still conjures up some imagery. The almost every chord struck on the guitar riff, especially the heavy thunky "WOW" just before he sings "effigy" in the chorus are played so forcefully it would make an electronic tuner break with discordance. you can feel the anger, the passion in that strum. CCR's best antiwar tune (Vietnam) | Reviewer: Shafter McKnight | 8/21/08 Creedence Clearwater Revival was not a counter-culture band in the same sense as say Jefferson Airplane,Grateful Dead, and Crosby, Stills, and Nash Yet they were one of the few bands at the time to write songs that were a social commentary such as "Fortunate Son". "Run Through the Jungle", "Don't Look Now (It Ain't You or Me)". I doubt the song ever got much airplay, and it was one of those "forgotten" tracks. It was recorded as a part of the song set of "Willie and the Poorboys". Fogerty provides a rather intricate guitar solo with his gritty-sounding Rickenbacker guitar.
