Magazine ’Shot By Both Sides’ lyrics: This and that, they must be the same What is legal is just what’s real What I’m given to understand Is exactly what I steal I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd I was shocked to find what was allowed I didn’t lose myself in the crowd Shot by both sides On the run to the outside of everything Shot by both sides They must have come to a secret understanding New offenses always in my nerves They’re taking my time by force They all sound the same when they scream As a matter of course I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd I was shocked to find what was allowed I didn’t lose myself in the crowd Shot by both sides On the run to the outside of everything Shot by both sides They must have come to a secret understanding Why are you so edgy Kid? Asks the man with the voice One thing follows another You live and learn, you have no choice I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd I was shocked to find what was allowed I didn’t lose myself in the crowd I didn’t lose myself to the crowd I didn’t lose myself to the crowd I was shocked to find what was allowed I didn’t lose myself in the crowd But I wormed my way But I wormed my way But I wormed my way But I wormed my way But I wormed my way But I wormed my way But I wormed my way But I wormed my way Shot by both sides I don’t ask who’s doing the shooting Shot by both sides We must have come to a secret understanding Songwriter: Howard Devoto Shot By Both Sides lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group #Magazine #HowardDevoto #JohnMcGeoch @GazelyGaze
