about

This song came to me in a dream, intact with the words (as few as there are!) right up to “Bombs”. I woke up and managed to capture it, realizing it was a perfect simple cry of protest at the numbing frequency of major gun violence. My waking self wrote the last verse as “Sun” and “Moon” to take the edge off and end positively (right to the sigh of “Aaaaah” at the end). It is the generic centerpiece to this otherwise quite personal album. The title could be seen as simply “gun-sun” or “guns-un” (a sort of negation), with “unsung” also hinted at.

lyrics

Guns & more guns & there’s guns & then guns & there’s
Guns with the guns & more guns & then guns & there’s
Guns & then guns & more guns & there’s guns & then Bombs
Over and over

Guns & more guns & there’s guns & then guns & there’s
Guns with the guns & more guns & then guns & there’s
Guns & then guns & more guns & there’s guns & then Bombs
Over and over

Guns & more guns & there’s guns & then guns & there’s
Guns with the guns & more guns & then guns & there’s
Guns & then guns & more guns & there’s guns & then Bombs
Over and over

Guns & more guns & there’s guns & then guns & there’s
Guns with the guns & more guns & then guns & there’s
Guns & then guns & more guns & there’s guns & then Bombs
It's over not over

Guns & more guns & there’s guns & then guns & there’s
Guns with the guns & more guns & then guns & there’s
Guns & then guns & more guns & there’s guns & then Bombs
Over and over

Guns & more guns & there’s guns & then guns & there’s
Guns with the guns & more guns & then guns & there’s
Guns & then guns & more guns & there’s guns & then Bombs
All over...

Sun and more sun and there’s sun and then sun and there’s
Sun, ahh the sun and more sun and the sun and there’s
Sun and it’s sunny, more sun and there’s sun and then Moon

Ahh – ahhhhhh
