"If They're Shooting At You" lyrics
"If They're Shooting At You"
So I'd said to you "I'm not free"
I got a mountain falling down on me
I got sickness and I've got doubts
Oh, the people wanna scream and shout
I'm so tired, I'm always on my knee
And I'm cold, it's always January
In this house and on these streets
It's so grey, I can't take it
What happened to the life I knew?
Swept away
Where did you go?
So I said to you, "I'm busy
I've got jobs to do that would make you dizzy
And I'm juggling all my plates
Living far below my estimate"
People are hard for me I'm always failing
In my family life, I'm always trailing
Come to me, you said, "Leave your home
They can't kill you in my hands"
But if they try, don't take fright
If they're shooting at you kid
You must be doing something right
Right, right, right, right, right
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
You're the one, it's for a bit of peace
A nice warm house and for my family
To take me back because you know I miss them (know I miss)
Miss my boys, I miss their mother, I'll kiss them
But instead, I'm running out of time
Out of air, I fear I must be dying
Come to me, you said, "Leave your pain
They can't kill you in my head"
You're my son, you're my love
Gonna catch you gently now, you are with me
Got you now (now, now, now)
Got you now (now, now, now)
I got you now (now, now, now)
I got you now (now, now, now)
I got you now

Beirut - "Elephant Gun" If I was young, I'd flee this town
I'd bury my dreams underground
As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight
Far from home, elephant guns
Let's take them down one by one
We'll lay it down, it's not...
Cat Power - "Manhattan" The hotel above and the street below
People come and people go
All the friends that we used to know
Ain't coming back
Ain't coming back
Ain't coming back
You say your heart has a rhythm
Well see...
Eels - "That Look You Give That Guy" I never thought that I could be so bold
To even say these thoughts aloud
I see you with your man
Your eyes just shine
While he stands tall
And walking proud
That look you give that guy
I wanna see...
