so, it's quite obvious what this song is about. revenge. jealousy. a woman scorned. i love the track. these boys have so much soul it's ridiculous. the only question i have - the title of the song is Ten Cent Pistol and that's slang usually for laced drugs to kill a dealer's customer that "crossed them". i wonder if that's the case here or are they using "Ten Cent Pistol" for an actual weapon. if so, it gives it an old pulp novel feel which i think is great. either way, it's a fantastic song. anyone know, though?
i was wondering the same thing mzquirk... but i just think that they simply used that term to come across with that same message... 'revenge'
either way..i like it..terms get changed so much anyway..so using it in a story like this is pretty fucking awesome.. !

I read, and I believe, that the 'ten cent pistol' is a generic term meaning cheap weapon, and that in the case of this song it was acid. It really fits with them 'never being the same', as if they continue to live, and 'she hit them with'....great song regardless.
