Cover art for James and the Cold Gun lyrics by Kate Bush

I always got the image of a man who was forced into a life of crime that finally takes him over and the song is the people he's left behind begging him to see where his life is leading him before he's killed in some sort of shootout, whether it be his enemies or by the police! Cowboy or mobster, is the bit that always confused me, though...
