Blondie - Under The Gun[for Jeffrey Lee Pierce] Lyrics
I still can picture him: his hands in his back pockets.He wasnt much for words, but when the wise kids made a racket hed just have to go downtown, throw his weight around before starting over.Say did you hear Ive got a band?Some guys I know from l.a.Well own the rio grande.Ill pay you back next friday.You know it sure aint big, just some cats I dig.They said theyd do the gig.Oh desperado, why dont you spend your life in colorado?Oh restless shadow, out in the blue hills youre feeling hollow.Oh el diablo, why did you spend your life in california?I should have warned ya.No place to go now but falling over.Some hands cant make it on the run, under the gun.Not for the younger.Oh jack daniels, I feel your hunger.I know you did your best, but you thought that you did not.I wish that I had known before I heard the last shot.You know, its not a sin, that little badge of tin.Just a momento.So sad you loved in vain.My comrades lost in battle.The music wars are done from london to seattle.We all pay to play and all our yesterdays are starting over.Oh desperado, why dont you spend your life in colorado?Oh restless shadow, out on the blue hills youre feeling hollow.Oh el diablo, why did you spend your life in california?I should have warned ya.No place to go now but falling over.Ready to die.Now hes ready to die.
