Berikut ini lirik lagu “If They’re Shooting at You” dari Belle and Sebastian.
[Verse 1]
So I said to you
I'm not free
I got a mountain falling down on me
I got sickness and I've got doubts
All the people wanna scream and shout
I'm so tired
I'm always on my knees
[Chorus]
But I'm cold
It's always January
In this house and on these streets
It's so grey
I can't take it
What happened to the life I knew
Swept away
(Where'd you go?)
[Verse 2]
So I said to you
I'm busy
I got jobs
That would make you dizzy
And I'm juggling all my plates
Living far below my estimate
People have for me
I'm always failing
In my family life I'm always trailing
[Chorus]
Come to me, you said
Leave your home
They can't kill you in my hands
But if they try
Don't take fright
If they're shooting at you kid
You must be doing something right
(RIght, right, right, right, right)
(Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh)
[Verse 3]
All I want is for a bit of peace
A nice, warm house
And for my family
To take me back
Because you know I miss them (Know I miss)
Miss my boys
I miss their mother
I'll kiss them
[Chorus]
But instead I'm running out of time (Out of time)
Out of air
I fear I must be dying (Must be dying)
Come to me, you said
Leave your pain
They can't kill you in my head
You're my son
You're my love
Gonna catch you gently
Now you are with me
[Outro]
Gotchu now (Now, now, now)
Gotchu now (Now, now, now)
I gotchu now (Now, now, now)
I gotchu now (Now, now, now)
(Gotchu now)
