This version of 'Carry A Gun' was recorded as part of our never released EP 'But Also It Will Rain'. As such it is unmastered and roughly mixed but still the best recorded version of the song. It also features the supremely talented Ben Drury (Helena Pop, Beneath Benetta, Ecruteak) playing double bass, cymbals, and a bowl of rocks with water.
Enjoy.
Or don't.
lyrics
You know you've nothing to loose.
You fill up on fat, you watch cartoons.
I know there's holes in the moon.
We grow up too fast, we die too soon.
But you don't need to carry a gun in the park.
You don't have to talk about blood like it's ours.
You don't need to carry a gun.
You know you've nothing to prove.
The neighbourhood watch watch out for you.
I know you've got a good view.
To look on as I die for you.
