Shoot Shoot
U F O Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You won't do nothin' about it
Break a good boy's resistance down
Know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
She said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me
Convinced me that she was worth it
And two 45's would do the trick and pay the bills
know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
And she said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me
I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here now
Holding out in my hotel room police they finally come
Had her as the prosecution, and my prints upon the gun
know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
And she said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me
I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here now
The lyrics of U F O's song "Shoot Shoot" depict a dangerous situation where the singer is under the influence of a fast and tough woman who loves to play the clown. He is aware that he won't be able to resist her charm, and she convinces him that she's worth it. She lays down her pistol and commands him to shoot it for her. It's evident that the singer is unaware that he has become her kill and the two 45's will be used to pay the bills.
The lyrics are about being caught in a dangerous situation wherein one is left with no choice but to obey the orders given, even if it means carrying out a criminal act. The woman here is portrayed as a dominating figure, which is evident by her control over the singer's actions. The singer, on the other hand, is shown to be a victim of circumstance and is helpless in the face of the woman's coercion. The chorus of the song, "Gotta get a fast ride out of here," reinforces the idea of a hurried escape from the imminent danger.

Great song from legendary band UFO. The most under-rate band in rock-n-roll.
@pip461
agree
@dcfanchris
I donโt think they were underrated. I think they got caught up in a logjam of phenomenal music being produced and there wasnโt enough time for everyone to get a chance to hear them.
