MY NAME IS GUN
Music and lyrics Roger Coghill
You gave me life,
You gave me many a name
You gave me power to kill and maim.
Whoever holds me I am surely yours.
I kiss with fire, I know no laws.
My lovers should
Beware my poisoned kiss
So don’t be fooled, no romance this.
You made me good, and used me to defend
Then found I could bring life to end.
Chorus:
How do you do?! How are you?!
But haven’t we met before?
Mr Kalashnikov
How nice to meet once more!
In blood I wrote
And clearly I defined
The madness that was in your mind.
I spit and spew dark messages of lead
To bring you to your final bed.
Don’t think you own
The weapon in your hand
You’ll spill your own blood on the sand.
Call me your son, friend, lover, what you may,
My name is gun. I’m here to stay.
Chorus:
How do you do?! How are you?!
But haven’t we met before?
Mr Kalashnikov
How nice to meet once more!
