Machine Gun Lyrics

Artist: Portishead
Album: Third

I saw a saviour, a saviour come my way
I thought I'd see it in the cold light of day
But now I realise that I'm only for me

If only I could see you return myself to me
And recognise the poison in my heart
There is no other place, no one else I face
The remedy will agree with how I feel

Here are my front teeth, what more can I say?
For I am guilty for the voice that I obey
Too scared to sacrifice the choice chosen for me

If only I could see you return myself to me
And recognise the poison in my heart
There is no other place, no one else I face
The remedy to agree with how I feel

I'm in love with this song right now. I think this sound is a great step up and forward in the progression of Portishead. Same old feeling with futuristic production. Very well executed.
