Lyrics

9 Crimes

Leave me out with the waste

This is not what I do

It's the wrong kind of place

To be thinking of you

It's the wrong time

For somebody new

It's a small crime

And I got no excuse

[Refrain: Lisa Hannigan]

And is that all right, yeah?

Give my gun away when it's loaded

That all right, yeah?

If you don't shoot, it how am I supposed to hold it?

That all right, yeah?

Give my gun away when it's loaded

That all right, yeah, with you?

Leave me out with the waste

This is not what I do

It's the wrong kind of place

To be cheating on you

It's the wrong time

She's pulling me through

It's a small crime

And I got no excuse

And is that all right, yeah?

To give my gun away when it's loaded

(Is that all right with you?)

Is that all right, yeah?

If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it?

(Is that all right with you?)

Is that all right, yeah?

If I give my gun away when it's loaded

(Is that all right with you?)

Is that all right?

That all right with you?

That all right, yeah?

If I give my gun away when it's loaded

(Is that all right with you?)

Is that all right, yeah?

You don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it?

(Is that all right with you?)

Is that all right, yeah?

If I give my gun away when it's loaded

(Is that all right with you?)

Is that all right?

Is that all right with you?

And is that all right, yeah?

(To give my gun away when it's loaded)

Is that all right, yeah?

(You don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it?)

Is that all right, yeah?

(To give my gun away when it's loaded)

Is that all right? Is that all right?

Is that all right with you? No
