Small Time Shoot ’Em Up

Massive Attack

Collected, 2006, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Cool, coo-cool
Cool, coo-cool-cool
Took her in
Dropped a line
Turned me on
(I travel, travel)
We never leave each other 'cause we leave each other so cold
It takes your breath away
The easy part is taking yourself in
It's wartime every time
Shot away
You wipe the smile from your face
It's getting in the way
It's wartime every time
She cut me a line and she turned me on
She made it cool
You couldn't do it if you wanted to
(Believe me, believe me)
It's wartime every time
Small talk every time
It's my favourite chloroform
It's pill talk every time
Get it out the way
Friction wound
Shot away
(Talk every time— pill yourself— easy part is)
(Wartime-ing— pill yourself— easy part is)
(Wartime-ing— pill yourself—)
(It's wartime, wartime)
(It's wartime, wartime)
(It's wartime, wartime)
Ricochet
Yeah, we're like identical twins
Sucking on the same teat
Spitting out the same things
(I travel far, far) The easy part is taking yourself in
It's wartime every time
Small talk every time
It's my favourite chloroform
It's pillow talk every time
Get it out the way
Friction wound
Ricochet
Line 'em up and knock 'em down
Shot away
Shot away
Shot away
Shot away (Away)
