lyrics

With her feathers and her leather gloves
And my long grey coat
Tearing pages from a bible
Making little paper boats

We filled them all with tears
And little plastic stars
Waited till they disappeared
But they never got that far

Ain’t life just a loaded gun
One shot then oblivion

I put my sailors hands
Round her ship wrecked heart
And when the tide came in
I held her in my arms

Ain’t life just a loaded gun
One shot then oblivion

Now no one seems to notice
Last years roses
No one ever looks around
And sees them on the ground


When the tide goes out
Maybe we can float
Away with all those plastic stars
Those little paper boats

Ain’t life just a loaded gun
One shot then oblivion
