about

'Shoot Me Down' has proved a very popular track and one that was also picked up and included on the 2012 GRGPNK Album release 'Garage Monsters - The Best of the GaragePunk Hideout, Vol 9'
A fabulous album which featured cover art by the incredible and fantabulous Stephen Blickenstaff, who famously illustrated The Cramps 'Bad music for bad people' album cover

lyrics

FOOTSTEPS UP BEHIND ME ON A SATURDAY NIGHT
SEEMS LIKE YOU CAN'T TAKE A WALK WITHOUT TAKING A FRIGHT
I TAKE A LOOK DISCRETELY BUT I CAN'T SEE A FACE
I PUT MY BEST FOOT DOWN AND START TO INCREASE MY PACE
UNDERNEATH THE LAMPLIGHT AS I'M STARTING TO RUN
WELL! SHOOT ME DOWN IT'S A MAN WITH A GUN

LOOKEE HERE MISTER I DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH DOUGH
BUT YOU CAN HAVE WHAT I'VE GOT IF YOU JUST PLEASE LET ME GO
I GIVE HIM MY WALLET
HE GIVES ME A SMILE AND SAYS…
“YOU CAN LEAVE HERE WITH YOUR LIFE, COS I APPRECIATE YOUR STYLE!”
TURN AROUND THE CORNER AND I'M STARTING TO RUN
WELL! SHOOT ME DOWN ANOTHER MAN WITH A GUN!

“I DON'T HAVE NO MONEY, I GOT NOTHING TO LOSE!'
HE SAYS “THAT MAYBE SO, BUT I QUITE LIKE YOUR SHOES,
AND THAT SHIRT ON YOUR BACK WELL IT FITS YOU TOO LOOSE!
ANYWAY, I GOT THE GUN, I'LL JUST TAKE WHAT I CHOOSE!”
STANDING THERE NAKED AS HE TAKES OFF AND RUNS
I SEE SOMEONE TURN THE CORNER IT'S A…

STANDING STARK NAKED
IN A DEAD END LANE
AND I’M THINKING TO MYSELF
WELL HERE I GO AGAIN…
A POLICEMAN ARRIVES JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME
AND I'M THANKING GOD I'M SAVED FROM SUCH A PERSONAL CRIME
HIS EYES LIGHT UP
HE SAYS “HI SON!”
WELL I’M NOT SURE OF HIS INTENTION BUT THAT BASTARD'S PULLED A GUN…

SHOOT ME DOWN
IT'S A MAN WITH A GUN
SHOOT ME DOWN
IT'S A MAN WITH A GUN
SHOOT ME DOWN
IT'S A MAN WITH A GUN
SHOOT ME DOWN
IT'S A MAN WITH A GUN
UNDERNEATH THE LAMPLIGHT AS I'M STARTING TO RUN…
