Machine Gun

Track 10 of Everything's For Sale (2025)

Vox: Nick Whitecross


Hunting for firewood
Must be some around
In amongst the dirt and the cowboys
Just a spark will do

And I'll run down that fire
Skimming the stones where there are none
Taking shots from an old gun
Whatever takes hold beneath the sun
On forgotten days, let the memories run

Like the one where he said this will do just fine
And we left him there
In khaki army pants
Somewhere out there beneath the sun

He has recalled to repeat
He used to repeat
And they were all found some Sunday afternoons
Some sort of peace was there

Oh, take the money and run
Whatever takes hold beneath the sun
On forgotten days let the memories run
Oh, take the money and run

Hunting for firewood
Must be some around
In amongst the dirt and the cowboys
Just a spark will do

Oh, take the money and run
Whatever takes hold beneath the sun
On forgotten days let the memories run
Oh, take the money and run

Oh, take the money and run
Whatever takes hold beneath the sun
On forgotten days let the memories run
Oh, take the money and run
