Nine Crimes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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've got no excuse.
Is that alright, yeah
Give my gun away when it's loaded.
Is that alright, yeah?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it?
Is that alright, yeah?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright 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've got no excuse.
Is that alright, yeah?
Give my gun away when it's loaded. (Is that alright?)
Is that alright, yeah?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it? (Is that alright?)
Is that alright? yeah?
Give my gun away when it's loaded. (Is that alright?)
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?
Is that alright, yeah?
Give my gun away when it's loaded. (Is that alright?)
Is that alright, yeah?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it? (Is that alright?)
Is that alright? yeah?
Give my gun away when it's loaded. (Is that alright?)
Is that alright,
Is that alright with you?
Is that alright? yeah?
(Give my gun away when it's loaded)
Is that alright? yeah?
(If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it?)
