Nick Cave - Shoot Me Down

Nick Cave - Shoot Me Down

(this song is available on the CD boxset "B-sides and rarities")

Lyrics :
On those sentimental nights
you hold me on your sights
And shoot me down

And though there ain't no enemy here
you keep me very near
and shoot me down
shoot me down

Your hands, they flutter up
armed and dangerous, my buttercup
And shoot me down
in flames

Stand back baby, stand back and let me breathe
I think I'm falling out of here
I can hear the grass grow
I can hear the melting snow
I can feel your breath against my ear
I might just disappear
Yeah, wouldn't that be nice?
Yeah, wouldn't that be nice?
Well, wouldn't that be nice?

I look into your eyes
and it comes as no great surprise
you're gonna shoot me down
shoot me down

I know that when you smile
it'll only be a short little while
Shoot me down
in flames

Shoot me down
in flames
Shoot me down
in flames

you're gonna shoot me down
oh, in flames
shoot me down, shoot me down
in flames

So emotional song, the best one from Nick.

[misspetedoherty]

That's why I wrote in big letters on my apartment wall (above my entrance door) "DON'T FORGET YOUR GUN", always carrying my gun around cause you never know who's gone shoot you down and I've been wounded way too many times, I do not want more scares so I now protect myself with my imaginary gun. You need a long experience to practice and be the first one to shoot...Go "bang, bang" in your head to people with no heart...don't wanna hurt any body that is why I also wrote "I THINK I BETTER RUN"...

[MultiBethsy]
