The Cab – Angel With A Shotgun lyrics
(I'm an angel with a shotgun, shotgun, shotgun,
An angel with a shotgun, shotgun, shotgun...)

Get out your guns, battles begun,
Are you a saint, or a sinner?
If loves a fight, than I shall die,
With my heart on a trigger.

They say before you start a war,
You better know what you're fighting for.
Well baby, you are all that I adore,
If love is what you need, a soldier I will be.

I'm an angel with a shotgun,
Fighting til' the wars won,
I don't care if heaven won't take me back.
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe.
Don't you know you're everything I have?
... And I, wanna live, not just survive, tonight.

Sometimes to win, you've got to sin,
Don't mean I'm not a believer.
... And major Tom, will sing along.
Yeah, they still say I'm a dreamer.

They say before you start a war,
You better know what you're fighting for.
Well baby, you are all that I adore,
If love is what you need, a soldier I will be.

I'm an angel with a shotgun,
Fighting til' the wars won,
I don't care if heaven won't take me back.
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe.
Don't you know you're everything I have?
... And I, wanna live, not just survive, tonight.

Ooohhh, ooohhh whoa whoa oooh whoa

I'm an angel with a shotgun...
Fighting til' the wars won...
I don't care if heaven won't take me back...

I'm an angel with a shotgun,
Fighting til' the wars won,
I don't care if heaven won't take me back.
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe.
Don't you know you're everything I have?
(I'm an angel with a shotgun)
... And I, want to live, not just survive, tonight.
(Live, not just survive)

... And I'm gonna hide, hide, hide my wings tonight.

They say before you start a war,
You better know what you're fighting for.
Well baby, you are all that I adore,
If love is what you need, a soldier I will be.

    I think this song means that even though things are hard they will help you and support you until things get better. Me and my friend sing this song all the time because we believe it describes our relationship perfectly, we are always there for each other and we hate it when the other is upset.

    I think this song is about a man who is a good person but has to do bad things to protect his loved ones shown in "I'm an angel with a shotgun".

    The main thing I look at is the title. Every time I look at it, it makes me think of our troops, our troops die with guns in their hands and they become guardian angels so each time I listen t it I think of the soldiers dead, veterans, and those fighting today.

    I think this is a kitsch love song and shouldn't be interpreted as more, as there is not much deepness to be had. I think that the reference to Major Tom is a mistake, and David Bowie is turning in his grave. Major Tom is about a psychedelic narcissist, who dies of drugs while contemplating the universe. This song is more like "I am a teenager and I can't separate fantasy from reality true love 4ever". The song overall isn't that bad, but it has no meaning or inner depth except appealing to teenagers.
    Those were my two cents, ER out.
