lyrics about noxious smoky fires

Not fires that you wanna light or stand next to. Unpleasant industrial institutional fires that don't smell good.

Bob Dylan 'Idiot Wind'
smoke pouring out of a boxcar door

The Mountain Goats 'Old College Try'
the way those eyes I've always loved illuminate this place like a trashcan fire in a prison cell

The granddad of all smoky fire songs was started by some stupid with a flare gun.

"Smoke on the Water"?

That's the one I was obliquely alluding to.

Phoebe Bridgers - Smoke Signals

And you
You must've been looking for me
Sending smoke signals
Pelicans circling
Burning trash out on the beach

☮️ (peace, man), Wednesday, 8 April 2020 13:21 (five years ago)

I remember when I was a very little girl
Our house caught on fire
I'll never forget the look on my father's face
As he gathered me up in his arms
And raced through the burning building onto the pavement
And I stood there shivering in my pajamas
And watched the whole world go up in flames
And when it was all over I said to myself
"Is that all there is to a fire?"

Admittedly no mention of noxious smoke, but I'd bet there was some.
