| Kasabian – Shoot the Runner Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| would you all like to know what this song realy means, well incase you ar'nt aware tom is an ex heroin addict and "the runner" means heroin. when you smoke heroin you run it but it is much better to inject it or shoot it hence shoot the runner. also when he says im the king its because of the way gear makes you feel and if anyone know the song lsf he refers to a polyfonic prostitute, this is the queen coz if ur on heroin it feels better than sex and u realy dont need a girlfriend so he says im the king she's my queen biatch and any users no this mean the drugs are his bitch. and it is chang not chain if you watch the official video you will see tom doing a gesture at the same time as he sings this line of sniffing somthing off a card. do not dispute these are facts that have been kept secret for good reasons. every kasabian song has some reference of context to heroin or drug abuse or the consequences- if you listen you will notice. luckily not many of you know anything about gear so you wont understand but that dont mean that it im not spot on. and if you dont belive me about tom being a junkie or ex junkie check out youtube interviews and you will see one where he is drinking methadone blatantly on camera. Kasabian also means the butcher or slaughterer which is what doing heroin does, its a killer please listen to toms ranting with open eyes that he is rich and can aford to be the way he is, and in the words of liam gallager dont put your life in the hands of a rock and roll band and throw it alll away. Having said that I love Kasabian and think Tom is very talented and definatley part of the best modern brit band ever. peace and stay safe and never share injecting equipment goodnight | |
