Me and a Gun (Live) [Montreux 1992]

[Verse 1]

5 am, Friday morning

Thursday night, far from sleep

I'm still up and driving

Can't go home obviously

So I'll just change direction

Cause they'll soon know where I live

And I wanna live

Got a full tank and some chips

[Chorus 1]

Was me and a gun

And a man on my back

And I sang "holy holy"

As he buttoned down his pants

[Verse 2]

You can laugh, it's kind of funny

Things you think at times like these

Like I haven't seen Barbados

So I must get out of this

Yes I wore a slinky red thing

Does that mean I should spread

For you, your friends

Your father, Mr. Ed?

[Chorus 2]

Was me and a gun

And a man on my back

But I haven't seen Barbados

So I must get out of this

[Bridge]

And I know what this means

Me and Jesus a few years back

Used to hang and he said

"It's your choice babe, just remember

I don't think you'll be back

In 3 days time, so you choose well"

Tell me what's right, is it my right

To be on my stomach of Fred's Seville

[Chorus 2]

Was me and a gun

And a man on my back

But I haven't seen Barbados

So I must get out of this

[Verse 3]

And do you know Carolina

Where the biscuits are soft and sweet

These things go through your head

When there's a man on your back

And you're pushed flat on your stomach

It's not a classic Cadillac

[Chorus 2]

Me and a gun

And a man on my back

But I haven't seen Barbados

So I must get out of this

[Outro]

No, I haven't seen Barbados

So I must get out of this
