Velvet Two Stripes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you hiding something
Where o where are you gonna run to
Honey, I know he disappointed you
You gave all that you had
But guys like him are just acting bad
Well, he was sitting there in front of the tv
Holding his beer in his hand and he was getting fatter
And fatter and fatter and fatter
And fatter and fatter and fatter
And she she walked downstairs yeah
Oh she was walking downstairs
Taking one step after the other
Taking one step after the other
Holding holding the gun behind her back
Holding the gund behind her back and
Bang – one shot
Band – two shots
Bang – three shots
And bang four shots right in his face

Really fucking great! Tight trio sound reminds me a bit of Danko Jones, which I love, your guitar sound is kind of fresh, and that lead voice is a lot of fun.
