inspired by the james bond film "the man with the golden gun", in summer 1999 i wrote this song. i was living in a small house with my parents in dundonald at the time and every week there was a james bond film on UTV. i taped them all, and took some lines or ideas maybe from "the man with the golden gun" and came up with this idea that the danger is over and we can return. i have no idea where in the film the idea came from. i only recently played the song in my bedroom for the first time in about 9 years.
written - august 1999
about - james bond the man with the golden gun
lyrics -
it is now safe to return
there are no bullets in my gun
in the sun my tears have dried
sends a shiver down my spine
it is now safe to return
defeat is mine to burn
in the rain i'm washed away
flooding out the enemy
i'm still not convinced this is the final curtain
i'll load up my gun until i know for certain
i've been down this road too many times already
so you think i'd know which way to go
so you think i'd learn which way to turn
it is now safe to return
all my innocence has gone
reputation still intact
pride forever in my heart
it is now safe to return
my freedom has been earned
windows smashed broken homes
someone else's danger zone
i'm still not convinced this is the final curtain
i'll load up my gun until i know for certain
i've been down this road too many times already
so you think i'd know which way to go
so you think i'd learn which way to turn
just a body in the road
just another pretty soul
it is now safe to return
