Barrel of a Gun (Live) [London 10/04/97] Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do you mean this horny creep
Set upon weary feet
Who looks in need of sleep
That doesn't come?

[Verse 2]
This twisted, tortured mess
This bed of sinfulness
Who's longing for some rest
And feeling numb

[Pre-Chorus]
What do you expect of me?
What is it you want?
Whatever you've planned for me
I'm not the one

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
A vicious appetite
Visits me each night
And won't be satisfied
Won't be denied
[Verse 4]
An unbearable pain
A beating in my brain
That leaves the mark of Cain
Right here inside

[Pre-Chorus]
What am I supposed to do
When everything that I've done
Is leading me to conclude
I'm not the one?

[Chorus]
Whatever I've done
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
Whatever I've done
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
Whatever I've done (Whatever, whatever)

[Pre-Chorus]
Is there something you need from me?
Are you having your fun?
I never agreed to be
Your holy one

[Chorus]
Whatever I've done
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
Whatever I've done (Whatever, whatever)
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
Whatever I've done (Whatever, whatever)
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
[Outro]
"Thank you! Welcome to our party."

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
