Damien Rice : 9 Crimes Lyrics

Songwriters: Rice, Damien;

. Send "9 Crimes" Ringtone to your Cell .

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you

It's the wrong time
For somebody new
It's a small crime
And I got no excuse

And is that alright? Yeah
Give my gun away when it's loaded
That alright? Yeah
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it?

That alright? Yeah
Give my gun away when it's loaded
That alright? Yeah, with you?

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be cheating on you

It's the wrong time
She's pulling me through
It's a small crime
And I got no excuse

And is that alright? Yeah
To give my gun away when it's loaded
(Is that alright with you?)
Is that alright? Yeah
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it?
(Is that alright with you?)

Is that alright? Yeah
If I give my gun away when it's loaded
(Is that alright with you?)
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?

That alright? Yeah
If I give my gun away when it's loaded
(Is that alright with you?)
Is that alright? Yeah
You don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it?
(Is that alright with you?)

Is that alright? Yeah
If I give my gun away when it's loaded
(Is that alright with you?)
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?

And is that alright? Yeah
(To give my gun away when it's loaded)
Is that alright? Yeah
(You don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it?)

Is that alright? Yeah
(To give my gun away when it's loaded)
Is that alright? Is that alright?
Is that alright with you? No

i think it means that the love they once had for each other is fading thus they realise they no longer love each other.

" to give my gun away when it's loaded"
means he has done something terrible (example having an affiar with another girl) but is putting the blame on someone else instead. thus making it look like their cause for their relaitonship's end is the girls fault and not his.

" if you dont shoot it how am i suppose to hold it"

the girl is saying she is willing to take the blame of he having an affair. thinking it's her fault that this had to happen.

it's about a girl who love a men... but he cheating her... she love him... but can't trust him. "it's the wrong time to somebody new" she don't want someone else... she's not ready. "put my gun away when it's loaded" ... when you take to many things inside of you... it's like a gun on your head. So many things to forget... and if she keep the gun... it's like if she shoot herself... "if you don't shoot how am i suppose to hold it" if she don't talk about that, how can he try to explain her what happen? Always take the gun and use it before it's to load. You have more chance to survive if it's not full.

Everytime I listen to this song I fall in love with it all over again. I feel this song is about a couple who are confused if they should break up or stay together. They think that it might be better being with somebody else but are unsure. They want the other to know that they could be with another but choose not to thinking that the other will stay faithful. If that makes sense. I love Damien

i think its about 2 people who want to be together but have just come out of or are still in relationships with other people - if i give my gun away when it's loaded - should she give herself to someone else when she's got so much baggage
It's the wrong time for somebody new, it's a small crime and I've got no excuse - They are having an affair..just my thoughts but everybody will see it differently depending on where they're at

The song is simple, is about a couple that is not "active" (if you know what I mean), and then he's cheating on her because of that... the gun is the need of "it", and the shooting is "it"... nobody's ****ing his/herself

i think the song is about..
a couple who broke up because maybe the boy was cheating on her,and the girl maybe she doesn't know what to do,and maybe she is thinkin on suicide with a gun..but she is thinkin if she give the guy another chance

i don't know...i thkink is about that
