Shoot Doris Day Lyrics
Shoot Doris Day
Out of the way
In the pouring rain
Sentimentality pause
As Jimmy Stewart ignores
Her question
People never stay the same
It's a fight between the wild and tame
I've some feelings that I can't get through
Even to you my friend
Wasting away in vain
Oh mercy!
Victor Panache
Lost his moustache
In a P.R. war
Public relationship tears
No-one would touch him for years
You betcha
People never stay the same
It's a fight between the wild and tame
I've some feelings that I can't get through
Even to you my friend
Rushing around in vain
Don't tempt me
People never stay the same
It's a fight between the wild and tame
I've some feelings that I can't get through
But those feelings never bothered you
People never stay the same
It's a fight between the strong and lame
I've some feelings that I can't get through
I'll just binge on Crack and Tiramisu
Animals don't stay the same
It's a fight between the wild and tame
I've some feelings that I can't get through
Without turning to a military coup
Out of the way
In the pouring rain
As Jimmy Stewart ignores
Her question
It's a fight between the wild and tame
I've some feelings that I can't get through
Even to you my friend
Wasting away in vain
Oh mercy!
Lost his moustache
In a P.R. war
No-one would touch him for years
You betcha
It's a fight between the wild and tame
I've some feelings that I can't get through
Even to you my friend
Rushing around in vain
Don't tempt me
It's a fight between the wild and tame
I've some feelings that I can't get through
But those feelings never bothered you
It's a fight between the strong and lame
I've some feelings that I can't get through
I'll just binge on Crack and Tiramisu
It's a fight between the wild and tame
I've some feelings that I can't get through
Without turning to a military coup

I think the lyrics are well-crafted, IMO I think the lyrics is about the singer trying to say that he has some feelings (probably love) and he just can't get the feelings through but those feelings never bothered the one he loves so he just binge on crack and tiramisu.
"The film really illustrates the song. The song's quite self-explanatory in ways. It's a great big chorus. The 'Shoot Doris Day' reference is to shoot her with film. I wanted it to start with a very cinematic reference for a very cinematic intro it just had to be over-the-top lyrically.
"It's very simple, about how people always change. In the second verse there's a reference to Victor Panache, which is our vision of Peter Mandelson. "Victor Panache lost his moustache in the PR war". That was about his old scandal, but while we were recording he had another one, which was quite handy, not that I feel any sympathy for him at all.
"It's probably the most anthemic moment on the album, but there's a lot of regret in there."
