I fully understand the shotgun in my pillow
Is no uncarved block at hand
Life is sweet but not it seems for Buddha
There's a shotgun in his hand
(Ha-ha-ha-ha)
(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
Shotgun
Shotgun
Shotgun
Shotgun
The nature of uncarved blocks
Is how to describe what's hard to describe, yeah, yeah-eah-eah
The simplest things, the quietest, the child-like simplicity
Everything I need to hear, positive the way I view
The simple of thought, inherit the earth
(Shotgun blows, shotgun blow-ow-ows)
Like Winnie-The-Pooh, Confucianist rules
Oblivious in what I do, deliberate the way I live
Shotgun blows, shotgun blows, shotgun blow-ow-ows
Shotgun blows, shotgun blows, shotgun blow-ow-ows
Shotgun blows
The nature of uncarved blocks
Is how to describe what's hard to describe
Vinegar taster says
More force I apply
More trouble I make
(Is that I cannot describe why it is such
A perfect illustration of the opposite and complex arrogance
We display to protect one another)
(Think too much, think too much, think too much, think too much)
Is no uncarved block at hand
Life is sweet but not it seems for Buddha
There's a shotgun in his hand
(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
Shotgun
Shotgun
Shotgun
Is how to describe what's hard to describe, yeah, yeah-eah-eah
Everything I need to hear, positive the way I view
The simple of thought, inherit the earth
(Shotgun blows, shotgun blow-ow-ows)
Like Winnie-The-Pooh, Confucianist rules
Oblivious in what I do, deliberate the way I live
Shotgun blows, shotgun blows, shotgun blow-ow-ows
Shotgun blows
Is how to describe what's hard to describe
Vinegar taster says
More force I apply
More trouble I make
A perfect illustration of the opposite and complex arrogance
We display to protect one another)

"The track 'Six' refers to the Number 6, as in '60s series The Prisoner. But the album's named after the Pooh book, Now We Are Six. But the track to do with Pooh is called 'Shotgun' and that's based on The Vinegar Taster, a painting from North China dating back to 5,OOO BC. It features a Confucianist, a Buddhist and a Taoist drinking vinegar. The Taoist is laughing while the others screw up their faces. The Taoist believes tomorrow is another day and takes each moment as it comes and does not taste bitterness" Paul Draper, NME 98
Awesome song with great lyrics! I still don't understand it entirely. I guess I can't tie all the pieces of the song perfectly yet.
