lyrics

Locked and loaded,
Chambered and filed.
Those hollow threats all pointed at me.
One itchy finger,
Too many guns.
All a different reason to end this now.

So pull the trigger,
Pull any trigger you want.
Pull any trigger that you need.

'Cause I’m not bulletproof,
I’m no superhero.
But I’ll take a shot, to take a shot at your love.
'Cause I’m not bulletproof,
I’m just target practice.
But I’ll take a shot, to take a shot at your love.

Full of truths,
Spent magazines,
In the heat of it all, we both lost count.
Hand are shaking,
Is your aim still true?
I guess we’re both now finding out.

So pull the trigger,
Pull any trigger you want.
Pull any trigger that you need.

'Cause I’m not bulletproof,
I’m no superhero.
But I’ll take a shot, to take a shot at your love.
'Cause I’m not bulletproof,
I’m just target practice.
But I’ll take a shot, to take a shot at your love.

So pull the trigger,
Pull any trigger you want.
Pull all the triggers that you need.

'Cause this is nothing new,
Ain't no silver bullet.
But I’ll take a shot, to take a shot at your love.
This might be deja vu,
Or a starter's pistol.
But I'll take a shot, to take a shot.
Take a shot, to take a shot.
Take a shot, to take a shot at your love.

David Schaak Brisbane, Australia

“I love it when music can boil down to the basics. Raw, gritty and full of heart this song comes from the darker reaches of the heart.”
- Nkechi Anele, Triple J

David Schaak loves nothing more than great lyrics, loud guitars and old technology. His music captures the Southern Rock spirit; simple songs about the human condition, played by a good old rock and roll band. ... more
