"Shoot And Run"

Released: N/A


"Shoot And Run" was released in late 2014 right before the release of the EP "In Your Prime". It was received as one of Josef's biggest songs, bringing in a new sound of swelling music and dark lyrics. What Josef says about the song: 'Lyrically it’s about that realization you have when you see the world for what it is. When you realize no one really knows what they’re doing, that there is no ‘grand narrative’. A lot of my friends went through a very nihilistic and self-destructive phase whilst they were coming to terms with this. But they were joyful in their recklessness.' "Shoot and Run" was featured on the EP "In Your Prime" as the lead single, but never got a music video. It was later used in the TV advert for "Black Work" on ITV in June 2015.

Lyrics

When she was young, they gave her a gun
And said ‘shoot and run’
It’s a job well done
It’s a job well done

If you speak it’s language
It’ll do the rest
A little too soon she put it to the test
She put it to the test

Oh she doesn’t know much
But she knows this
Life’s too short not to take risks
Oh she steels herself and she goes for luck
She pulls the tricker
And lives it up

Oh live it up, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh live it up, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Happy hunter, ripe fresh kill
Onto the next one gotta taste the thrill
You gotta chase the thrill

If you wanna have fun
You gotta shoot and run
And leave, leave, leave it all behind
Behind, behind, behind

Oh she doesn’t know much
But she knows this
Life’s too short not to take risks
Oh she steels herself, she doesn’t give a fuck
She pulls the tricker
And lives it up

Oh live it up, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh live it up, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

She shoots and runs, she shoots and runs
She shoots and runs, she shoots and runs
She shoots and, she shoots and, she shoots and she...runs

She loves it, she loves it, she loves it
She loves it, she loves it, she loves it
