Pt.2 Sometimes They Do Lyrics
At last the outlaws dead
This is the first of our goodbye's
The bells they toll for me
My blood or his on this dirty street
My God my hands don't fail me now
The devil's tool to do God's will
The women cry the men are still
His silhouette up on the hill
Hush baby don't you cry for me
We men are the last of a dying breed
An empty flask, a cloud of dust
A muzzle flash, a crowd now hushed
BANG BANG he shot me dead
BANG BANG a bullet through his head
Oh no I killed my friend
Gun fight such a bitter end
Now dead man's hill
Claims two more soul's tonight
At ten paces BANG BANG he shot me dead
At ten paces gun fights such a bitter end
Now the city sleep's tonight
I hear the widow's crying out
All alone in there beds
Oh no what have i done
Oh no what have i done
Three small simple words to say
Grown men are taught not to cry
But cowboy's do have to die
Just one life to give
So that we both might live
This is the first of our goodbye's
The bells they toll for me
My blood or his on this dirty street
My God my hands don't fail me now
The devil's tool to do God's will
The women cry the men are still
His silhouette up on the hill
We men are the last of a dying breed
An empty flask, a cloud of dust
A muzzle flash, a crowd now hushed
BANG BANG he shot me dead
BANG BANG a bullet through his head
Oh no I killed my friend
Gun fight such a bitter end
Now dead man's hill
Claims two more soul's tonight
At ten paces gun fights such a bitter end
I hear the widow's crying out
All alone in there beds
Oh no what have i done
Oh no what have i done
Three small simple words to say
Grown men are taught not to cry
But cowboy's do have to die
Just one life to give
So that we both might live

BANG BANG first comment BANG BANG awesome song peace out
For some reason i'm getting an allegorical resemblance to Christ's day of crucifiction.
"At last the outlaws dead" <---Christ was portreyed as an outlaw by the Gentiles. This is the first of our goodbye's The bells they toll for me "My blood or his on this dirty street" <---My mental picture is the crown of thorns causing Christ to bleed as he's carrying the cross down the street. My God my hands don't fail me now "The devil's tool to do God's will" <---Judas Iscariot? The women cry the men are still "His silhouette up on the hill" <---Christ's crucifiction on the mount
"Now dead man's hill Claims two more soul's tonight" <=== The two other's crucified with Christ
"Just one life to give So that we both might live" <---Christ's sacrifice is the first thing that popped in my head when i read this.
it is about the J-Man but its also part 2 of high noon becuz "cowboys never die but sometimes they do"
plus "oh no i killed my friend" is judas' thoughts after he betrayed jesus
They are trying to state the death of Jesus, but showing it in a unusual way in normal days.
