Under the Gun
The Sisters of Mercy - Greatest Hits Volume One (A Slight Case Of Overbombing)
You don't have to say you're sorry
To look on further down the line
But you can't hold it like a…
Into that good night kiss away
When the road gets too tough
Is your love strong enough?
Do you feel your head is full of thunder?
Empty nights alone? — No wonder
Forget the many steps to heaven (are you living?)
It never happened and it ain't so hard (are you living for love?)
Happiness is a loaded weapon and a
Shortcut is better by far (are you living?)
ten thousand volts (are you living for love)
At a million miles an hour
Abrasive wheels and molten metals
get in the car (are you living for love)
Corrosive heart and frozen heat (are you living)
We're worlds apart where we could meet
Where the street fold round and the motors start
And the idiot wields the power
Where the chosen hold the highest card
On the field of honour where the ground is hard
So the highest hand is joking wild
And the house soon fold and no one stand
I put my finger on and dial
Cloudburst and all around
I put my finger on and fired
You can set the controls for the heart or the knees
And the meek'll inherit what they damn well please
go ahead and pull the trigger
(Are you living for love?)
(Are you living for love?)
(Are you living for love?)
(Are you living for love?)
(Are you living for love?)
(Are you living for love?)
(Are you living for love?)
