Idol, Billy - Don't Need A Gun Lyrics






A human heart goes out tonight
Yes a red hot love on a red stop light

I see a scene so cold it echoes in blue
Oh those twisting tongues they are after you

Wop bop a lu bop Son you gotta move up
Flip flop fly
Lawdy Miss Clawdy
Of what a story dreams to buy
Don't need a knife to violate my life
It's all so insane

When the other man has none
You don't need a gun
Yes a Russian roulette no fun
I don't need a gun
I just need someone
I don't need a gun

Blood red lights a domination street yeah
Just need your love and I feel that heat yeah
You can drive me through
That red stop light
With a whiplash smile

Wop bop a lu bop Son you gotta move up
Flip flop fly
Lawdy Miss Clawdy
Of what a story dreams to buy
Don't need a knife to violate my life
It's all so insane

When the other man has none
You don't need a gun
Yes a Russian roulette no fun
I don't need a gun I just need someone
I won't need a gun Oh yeah

You will always be crying yeah
Oh you will always be dying
Oh you will always be dying

Elvis a fight the dying light
Johnny Ray he's always crying
Gene Vincent he cried who slapped John, John, John.

Yes and me, I'm movin', movin', movin', movin' on.
Yeah to be someone
I don't need a gun.

  1. h.... ....

    I saw Billy in 1991, and was pleasantly surprised that for all the attitude of his media persona, he was a great performer who cared about putting on a great show. Unlike Micheal Jackson, who I saw In '92, he was utter fucking crap.


    Awesome song, by the way.

  67. N.... ....

    February 1988. High mountain pass. 1AM. New SUV.

    HIT ICE, OVERCORRECTION. Three or four 360s, then through a 15 ft ice berm, barrel rolled down a 50-foot bank.

    Landed on my tires at the bottom. Didn't want to turn the song off.

  68. S.... C....

    Man, this is some good 80s shit. God bless BIlly Idol and Steve Stevens!

  69. M.... ....

    Billy how many tickets people get while driving 😁

  70. H.... H....

    Dumber & dumber USA keep fighting about music and you did this and that influence. Black nusic had little if any influence on classical music in Europe and around the world, the influence gets even worse at Coke studios Pakistan. Anyway whatever the colour we as individuals follow what we are comfortable with.

  71. M.... I....

    The guitar part at 3:15 cannot be found in any album version of this song. How is that possible, it is so powerful and amazing

  72. A.... M....

    Can anyone honestly say Billy has recorded a better track.....no, course not

  73. S.... S....

    Saw him live in Dublin 1990..awesome

  74. S.... S....

    Man what a voice....Billy Idol a true rocker

  75. m.... g....

    Yeap! 2019 and still rocking! Greetings from Portugal 😀

  76. c.... r....

    Euh Billy prends tes goutte🤣

  77. c.... ....

    my fav song by billy......................

  78. l.... 0....

    It has ever since the release of whiplash smile always bugged me that the video mix is slightly different to the album mix and I've never tracked it down. It has the melt down mix break in the video mix. 1st world problems.

  79. C.... ....

    Who are the 480 people who give a thumbs down to a 30 year old music video? A shitty shallow millenial who just saw this for the first time, or an old angry Gen-Xer who always hated Billy Idol? Because any way you look at it this a pretty goddamn good song. #my2cents

  80. m.... p....

    I would pay just to watch the drummer in this song.

  81. T.... ....

    Whoever thumbed this down deserves a swift kick in the nutsack.

  82. C.... ....

    *******

  83. m.... ....

    Wop bop a lu bop
    Son you gotta move up
    Flip flop fly
    Lawdy Miss Clawdy
    Of what a story dreams to buy
    Don't need a knife to violate my life
    It's all so insane
    But when the other man has none
    I don't need a gun

  84. r.... ....

    Ahhh. Miami Vice.

  85. I.... B....

    His best song

  86. T.... ....

    Steve is the real front man . Well, the real talent.. Billy is cool, and they're perfect together.. but Steve kicks ass on that guitar, and he's got ton of show quality. Sort flamboyant , but it was the 80s
