“Bang Bang” (from Robin and the Seven Hoods) (Cahn/Heusen)
“Hallelujah” (L. Cohen)
only for the line: “All I’ve ever learned from love is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you”

“Bang Bang” (from Robin and the Seven Hoods) (Cahn/Heusen)
“Hallelujah” (L. Cohen)
only for the line: “All I’ve ever learned from love is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you”

Good ones... Mine are... All Guns Blazing (Pain Killer, Judas Priest); Billy Get Your Guns (Blaze of Glory, Bon Jovi); Stick to Your Guns (Too Fast for Love, Motley Crue) Lawyers, Guns and Money (Warren Zevon); Simple Solution Parts 1 and 2 (Nazareth); Long Walk Home (Neil Young Crazy Horse) And the problems they solve are greater than the problems they create? Not.
