Before performing Set the Fire to the Third Bar, mark breaths before the busier lines so the phrasing stays relaxed. Use the original recording of Set the Fire to the Third Bar to mark exactly where that change happens.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Set the Fire to the Third Bar makes sense for a singer who can handle fairly active phrasing and sell the lyric’s point of view. It has more changing verse text than repeated hook material. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
