elephant gun  

eski van halen vokalisti david lee roth'un solo albümlerinden ilki olan eat em and smile'ın en hoş şarkılarından biri. sözleri de şöyle olmakta:

every inch of you looks like a lady
so don't get caught here in the city at nite
and if you wanna take a chance and go down crazy
ı sell protection for a price

(pre-chorus)
well, call it love or call it murder
this is the crime of the century
no, don't point that thing on me

(chorus)
all in all my aim is better
shots as clean as a mean goal-getter
a bad man on the run
ı'm gonna be your dark stranger
contact man 'tween you and danger
ı'll protect you baby with my elephant gun

every minute counts and you play both sides of the law
mm, these dangorous days
mean nine lives doin' anything at all
a lot of folks been blown away

(pre-chorus)

(chorus)

bang!

(pre-chorus)

don't try to use that thing on me

aynı zamanda bir beirut şarkısı.

if i was young, i'd flee this town
i'd bury my dreams underground
as did i, we drink to die, we drink tonight

far from home, elephant gun
let's take them down one by one
we'll lay it down, it's not been found, it's not around

let the seasons begin - it rolls right on
let the seasons begin - take the big king down

let the seasons begin - it rolls right on
let the seasons begin - take the big king down

and it rips through the silence of our camp at night
and it rips through the night

and it rips through the silence of our camp at night
and it rips through the silence, all that is left is all that i hide

bunu söyleyen ve dinliyenlerin genç olması pek bir kötüdür.
