Gimme Shelter
Lyrics and Songs by Sisters Of Mercy - Go back

Gimme Shelterr(jagger/richards) the Rolling Stones
as performed by the Sisters of Mercy

oh, see the storm is threatening
my very life today
if i don't get some shelter
yeah, i'm gonna fade away

war, children
it's just a kiss away
it's just a kiss away
(repeat)
yeah

oh, see the fire is sweeping
down through the streets today
burning like a bright red carpet
another fool who lost the way
rape, murder
it's just a kiss away
it's just a kiss away
(repeat)
yeah
repeat verse one
love, sisters
it's just a shot away
it's just a shot away
love, sisters
it's just a shot away
shot away
shot away
war, children
it's just a kiss away
it's just a kiss awy
war, children
it's just a kiss away
kiss away
kiss away
rape murder
it's just a kiss away
it's just a kiss away
rape, murder
it's just a kiss away
kiss away
kiss away
repeat previous three twice
repeat love chorus
war, children
it's just a kiss away
kiss away
kiss away
