[00:00.00]Shoot the Messenger - Catatonia
[00:41.97]Somebody told me you'd found new bonhomie
[00:48.01]Going places you'd never go with me
[00:56.60]I felt myself became a bitter old shrew
[01:05.68]Oh I'd have bitten you in two if you would let me
[01:14.04]I'd look deadly as a nun
[01:18.29]Martyrdom does not become me
[01:22.80]I'll find love in vanity
[01:28.24]Somebody told me you'd found places to go
[01:34.36]New people to know new ladies and so
[01:42.67]I felt myself become a bitter old shrew
[01:48.30]I'd have bitten her in two if you would let me
[01:56.86]If I don't laugh what do I do
[02:00.92]If I don't laugh and see this through
[02:05.36]I shouldn't eve think of you
[02:11.30]Allow me one extravagance
[02:14.11]Before they come and ban me
[02:19.37]And let me shoot the messenger
[02:40.18]So help me God they talk so much
[02:43.80]This knowledge ain't my business
[02:47.68]But I hang on his every word
[02:54.05]God speed his journey back to hell
[02:58.11]I might retreat singing
[03:02.80]But all I hear is you
[03:08.72]Just give me one more shot of gin
[03:12.22]I'll scream along to anything
[03:16.25]Just let me shoot the messenger
[03:22.79]So help me God we talk so much
[03:26.18]This tart this whore - my weakness
[03:29.75]I'm gonna shoot the messenger
[03:39.57]Let me shoot the messenger
