| AC/DC – Gimme a Bullet Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The song is about a bad breakup "She said, "Now you go your way / I'll go mine /And that's a start"". It's about depression "Doctor, doctor / Ain't no cure / For the pain in my heart". It's about suicide "Gimme a bullet to bite on". The other songs on Powerage are all about drugs, depression, poverty, and suicide. Yet another of Bon's reference to gambling "She knew the game / Called the play / Oh she hit me low". Life is a gamble. Ever hear the line "I'm a wheeler / I'm a dealer." More gambling. Underrated? I don't think so. By whose rating system? If you think Bon is a great lyricist, you should express that. Saying that he's underrated is expressing what others think about him, not what you think. I think Bon's lyrics are descriptive and concise. They really put his feelings about life right out there for the world to see. In that regard, he was a great lyricist. |

James Buchanan Brady (12 August 1856–13 April 1917), also known as Diamond Jim Brady, was an American businessman, financier, and philanthropist of the Gilded Age. Born in New York City to a modest household, Brady worked his way up from bellboy and messenger. After gaining employment in the New York Central Railroad system, he became the chief assistant to the general manager by the age of 21. At 23, Brady parlayed his knowledge of the railroad industry and its officials to become a highly successful salesman for Manning, Maxwell and Moore, a railroad supply company. Known for his penchant for jewels, especially diamonds, he collected precious stones and jewelry in excess of US$ 2 million (adjusted for 2005 dollars, approx. $50 million). |
