"Pull Out the Pin"
The Dreaming
Written by Kate Bush
- Just as we hit the green,
- I've never been so happy to be alive.
- Only seven miles behind
- You could smell the child,
- The smell of the front line's survival.
- With my silver Buddha
- And my silver bullet,
- (I pull the pin.)
- You learn to ride the Earth,
- When you're living on your belly and the enemy are city-births.
- Who need radar? We use scent.
- They stink of the west, stink of sweat.
- Stink of cologne and baccy, and all their Yankee hash.
- With my silver Buddha
- And my silver bullet,
- (I'm pulling on the pin,)
- Ooh, I pull out, pull out the pin.
- (pulling on the pin, oh...)
-
- Just one thing in it:
- Me or him.
- Just one thing in it:
- Me or him.
- And I love life!
- Just one thing in it:
- Me or him.
- And I love life!
- I love life!
- I love life!
- I've seen the coat for me.
- I'll track him 'til he drops,
- Then I'll pop him one he won't see.
- He's big and pink, and not like me.
- He sees no light.
- He sees no reason for the fighting
- With my silver Buddha
- And my silver bullet.
- (I'm pulling on the pin,)
- Ooh, I pull out, pull out the pin.
- (pulling on the pin, oh...)
- I had not seen his face,
- 'til I'm only feet away
- Unbeknown to my prey.
- I look in American eyes.
- I see little life,
- See little wife.
- He's striking violence up in me.
- With my silver Buddha
- And my silver bullet.
-
- Just one thing in it:
- Me or him.
- Just one thing in it:
- Me or him.
- And I love life!
- Just one thing in it:
- Me or him.
- And I love life!
- I love life!
- I love life!
-
- Just one thing in it:
- Me or him.
- And I love life!
- Just one thing in it:
- Me or him.
- And I love life!
- Just one thing in it:
- Me or him.
- And I love life!
- I love life!
- I love life!
