Shoot Me Down
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.
Hush your mouth now honey mine
Have you been waiting all this time
To so loudly disagree
Kick the feet from under me
Did you come here to shoot me down
Bury my on my own home ground
Hold your tongue now mother mine
For you've held it all this time
And now's no time to shout and swear
That you despise the things I care about
For your territory
Will always be miles and miles from me
Stop my mouth with kisses dear
For ever they will keep me here
And these drunken blasphemies
Must never make us enemies
For we'll have to meet once more
Sober and as strongly bound as before
