That’s When I Reach For My Revolver (originally by Mission Of Burma) – Graham Coxon

Once I had my heroes, once I had my dreams But all of that is changed now, you took things inside out The truth is not that comfortable, no And mother taught us patience, the virtues of restrain And father taught us boundaries beyond which we must go To find a secret promised to us, yeah
That’s when I reach for my revolver That’s when it all gets blown away That’s when I reach for my revolver The spirit fights to find it’s way
A friend of mine once told me, his one and only aim To build a giant castle and live inside his name Crying, whispering, singing from within
That’s when I reach for my revolver That’s when it all gets blown away That’s when I reach for my revolver The spirit fights to find it’s way
Tonight the sky is empty but that is nothing new ‘Cause their eyes look upon us and they tell me We’re nothing but slaves
That’s when I reach for my revolver, just slaves That’s when I reach for my revolver That’s when I reach for my revolver That’s when I reach for my revolver That’s when I reach for my revolver That’s when I reach for my revolver
