You Am I

Gunslingers

You Am I


Well they say that there ain't no gunslingers left in town 
But he's rollin' them one-hand ciggies and knocking them coke cans down 
Now two times a week one all covers them for a dozen 
He straps that Gretsch on to his neck and gets those silvers tuggin', now go 

Well I've learned from the best not to trample with others nest 
And my style belies all the tales and the miles 
But each weekend I own each square metre I'm allowed 
I'm your pistol for hire, yeh 
The last gunslinger in town 

Well old band hit the top 50 yeh til it all went pear-shaped 
When some dick had revelation to record in LA 
Now he just can't wait for that sun to hide away 
Til that day glow, it's a pain you know, and that buggery sure don't pay, now go 

Well I've learned from the best not to trample where others nest 
And my style belies all the tales and the miles 
But each weekend I own each square metre I'm allowed 
I'm your pistol for hire, yeh 
The last gunslinger in town 

We're all going to La La land 
We're all going to La La land 
To lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music 
It's the only kinda life you'll ever understand 

Well I've learned from the best not to trample where others nest 
And my style belies all the tales and the miles 
But each weekend I own each square metre I'm allowed 
I'm your pistol for hire, yeh 
The last gunslinger in town
