Percussion Gun Lyrics
Well how do you do?
The kiss on the cheek
Its been a while
So Ill just beg, borrow
and steal all your time
well crawl dignifed
And now it seems to be cut + dry
So I know which way to run
Youre tired my love
I feel the same

Well take it from me
What else could you do?
Where do you get off
And how can I get there, too?
All your time well call well dignify
And now it seems to be cut + dry
So I know which way to run
Youre tired my love
I feel the same

Youll never come back
My god cant you see that
I know which way to run
Youre tired my love
I feel the same
The ... wont speak my name

Well if you wanna seee you rise and shine
It might not be true but this is fine
Cause I know which way to run
Youre tired my love
I feel the same
The ... wont speak my name
Now even this were jumping ship
Just give me some piece of mind
Cause I

I think it's "Now it all seems to be cut and dry", and then maybe "'Cause I know which way to run", but I'm not as sure about that part. But if so, then it's probably "So let them run, and speak my name". And then at the end, "Just give me some peace of mind, 'cause I..."

Am I the only one that thinks the singer's voice borders on whiny? It's a little irritating, but the music is good. I liked it pretty well.

"well crawl dignifed"

i think he's saying "we'll call it dignified" instead.

I think this song's about fight club - it starts off with the brad pitt laugh from the movie - talks about dont 'speak my name' etc.

here's my attempt::

"Well how do you do?"
A kiss on the cheek
"Hey, it's been a while"
So I'll just beg, borrow
and steal all your time
We'll call you dignified
Well not it all seems to be cold[cut?] and dry
So I know which way you run
You're tired my love,
I feel the same, oh.

Now take it from me,
What else could you do?
Now where do you get off?
And how can I get there too?
Oh, in time, we'll call you dignified
But now it all seems to be cold and dry
so I know which way you run
You're [a child?]tired my love,
I feel the same, oh.

(Oooooh)
We'll never come back
God, can't you see?
That I know which way you run
You're tired my love, I feel the same,
The loving[?] wrong won't speak my name, no!

Oooooh Oooooooh oooooh ooooh
Will everyone see you rise and shine?
It might not be true, well this is fine,
'Cause I know which way you run,
You're tired my love, I feel the same,
the [sounds like levenrong?] won't speak my name,
Now even less, we'll jump this ship,
Oh just give me some peace of mind
Cause I...

"Now even this were jumping ship"
sounds more like
"Even rats would jump this ship"

I believe the song is about bumping into the ex-girlfriend after a bad breakup. She didn't break if off very gracefully; she just left and talked badly about him to everyone. She thinks he still wants to be with her. Even though he still has feelings for her, he wouldn't want to continue - he's tired of trying too. He just wants an explanation. I listened to a couple versions of the song and believe I have all the lyrics - it was tough!

Well how do you do?
The kiss on the cheek
It's been a while
So I'll just beg, borrow
and steal all your time
We'll call it dignified
Well now it all seems to be cut and dried
So I know which way to run
You're tired my love
I feel the same

Now take it from me
What else could you do?
Well, where do you get off
And how can I get there, too?
All your time we'll call it dignified
Well now it all seems to be cut and dried
So I know which way to run
You're tired my love
I feel the same

You'll never come back
My God, can't you see that
I know which way to run?
You're tired my love
I feel the same
The leather lung won't speak my name

Well everyone see it rise and shine
It might not be true and that's just fine
Cause I know which way to run
You're tired my love
I feel the same
The leather lung won't speak my name
Now even rats would jump this ship
Just give me some peace of mind
Cause I...

("Leather lung" is someone who is loud and outspoken. Took me forever to figure that line out! For the longest time I thought he was saying "tried" also, but then I heard an acoustic version, and he's definitely saying "tired".)

I'm leaning towards "you run" over "to run"

This song is about former lovers that run into each other. One has gone on to achieve fame, and the other is saying that he knows the truth about how the person really is. Underneath all the veneer, she is just a child, as is he. Here's my translation of this terrific song.


Well how do you do?
A kiss on the cheek
It's been a while
So I'll just beg, borrow
and steal all your time
We'll call it dignified
Well now it all seems to be cut and dried
So I know which way you run
You’re a child my love
I feel the same

Now take it from me
What else could you do?
Ah, where do you get off
And how can I get there, too?
At the time we called it dignified
Well now it all seems to be cut and dried
So I know which way you run
You’re a child my love
I feel the same

You'll never come back
My God, can't you see that
I know which way you run?
You're a child my love
I feel the same
The leather lung won't speak my name

Now everyone can see you rise and shine
It might not be true and that's just fine
Cause I know which way you run
You're a child my love
I feel the same
The leather lung won't speak my name
Now even rats would jump this ship
Just give me some peace of mind
Cause I...
