I hung my head. Two versions of the same song. Written by Sting

Whenever Kindness Fails

Janie's Got a Gun - Aerosmith

Hey Joe.

quote:

---

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Alright. I'm goin down to shoot my old lady,
you know I caught her messin' 'round with another man.
Yeah,! I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady,
you know I caught her messin' 'round with another man.
Huh! And that ain't too cool.

I'm Bad Like Jessie James

quote:

---

I'm so mad, I'm so mad!
I'm gonna ruin you this morning
I got three boys
Do my dirty work
Now you don't see me
I'm the big boss
I do the payin' off
After they take care of you
In their own way
They may shoot you
They may cut you
They may drown you
I just don't know
I don't care!
As long as they take care of you
In their own way

I Don't Like Mondays

quote:

---

The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody's gonna go to school today
She's gonna make them stay at home
And daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he can see no reasons 'cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown?
Oh oh oh

(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
I wanna shoot-ooh, the whole day down

The Telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world
And mother feels so shocked, father's world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to their own little girl
Sweet 16 ain't that peachy keen
Now that ain't so neat to admit defeat
They can see no reasons 'cause there are no reasons
What reasons do you need?
Oh oh oh whoa whoa

I remember the event that inspired Bob Geldof to write this song.

Clash- Tommy Gun

Mother of a Man

See looka here, wanna see my gun
It's an Uzi and it packs a lot of punch
It sure is loud, I got it fixed
You wanna feel, you wanna touch this little bitch
I wanna testify, it's a crazy world out there
I wanna tell ya now, it's a brutal world out there
I'm just a mother of a man
I've got the stopper in my hand
Judge and jury help me please
Ain't gonna get down on my knees
Oh no, god help me now
You know my wife, she don't feel safe
Since we had a lot of trouble near our place
These kids are poor, I know it's hard
But why'd they have to do it in their own backyard
I wanna testify, it's a crazy world out there
I don't know what to tell you, it's a barbaric world out there
I'm just a mother of a man
I wanna take the witness stand
Judge and jury help me please
The sirens sound, the streets all bleed
I'm just a mother of a man
Just a mother of a man
Oh yeah, God help me now
I wanna testify, it's a crazy, crazy, crazy world out there
I wanna tell ya now that it's a barbaric world out there
I'm just a mother of a man
I wanna take the witness stand
Judge and jury help me please
The sirens sigh, the streets all bleed
I'm just a mother of a man
Here I stand, here I stand
I'm just a mother of a man
Yeah, God help me now
