[RdKill]

For a long time, I'd listen to this song and think that was pretty nasty how "my face splashed in the sky" was used to described being shot...till one day when I was down at the lake out on the dock and noticed the sky reflecting in the water...pretty cool description of falling face first in the water actually.


Neil Young - Powderfinger

Look out, Mama,
there's a white boat
comin' up the river
With a big red beacon,
and a flag,
and a man on the rail
I think you'd better call John,
'Cause it don't
look like they're here
to deliver the mail
And it's less than a mile away
I hope they didn't come to stay
It's got numbers on the side
and a gun
And it's makin' big waves.

Daddy's gone,
my brother's out hunting
in the mountains
Big John's been drinking
since the river took Emmy-Lou
So the powers that be
left me here
to do the thinkin'
And I just turned twenty-two
I was wonderin' what to do
And the closer they got,
The more those feelings grew.

Daddy's rifle in my hand
felt reassurin'
He told me,
Red means run, son,
numbers add up to nothin'
But when the first shot
hit the docks I saw it comin'
Raised my rifle to my eye
Never stopped to wonder why.
Then I saw black,
And my face splashed in the sky.

Shelter me from the powder
and the finger
Cover me with the thought
that pulled the trigger
Think of me
as one you'd never figured
Would fade away so young
With so much left undone
Remember me to my love,
I know I'll miss her.

Waylon Jennings, Cedartown, Georgia

"Made up my mind what I was gonna do,
eased in the pawn shop and bought a .22.
Tonight I'll put her on a train for Georgia,
Gonna be a lot of kinfolk crying and grieving,
'cause that Cedartown gal ain't breathing. "

That's a hell of a song!

Gotta go older. How about "Whiskey in the Jar" for ya?

As I was goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains,
I met with Captain Farrell, and his money he was counting.
I first produced me pistol and I then produced me rapier,
Saying: "Stand and deliver, for you are a bold deceiver!".
Musha rin du-rum do du-rum da, Whack fol de daddy-o,
Whack fol de daddy-o, There's whiskey in the jar.

Funny how Metallica's best stuff in the last 10-15 years has been covers. I agree that their version of Whiskey is awesome.
