9 Crimes Lyrics

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've got no excuse

Is that alright yeah?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright yeah?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright yeah?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is 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
But she's pulling me through
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

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

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

Is that alright yeah? (Give my gun away when it's loaded)
Is that alright yeah? (If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it)
Is that alright yeah? (Give my gun away when it's loaded)

Is that alright? Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?
No

What is the Meaning of 9 Crimes?

Well, well, well. If it isn't a lyrical labyrinth of love and loss! Our dear friend Damien is wrestling with the aftermath of a romantic misdemeanour. The '9 Crimes' here are metaphorical, symbolising his guilt and regret over ending a relationship prematurely to start another. The gun represents his love or commitment - loaded, yet given away. He's asking if it's 'alright' to surrender his feelings when they're at their peak. The repeated question suggests he's seeking validation for his actions but knows deep down he won't find any solace in them. It's a poignant reminder that love isn't a switch you can flick off when things get tough; it lingers like the last note of a melancholy melody, echoing long after the song has ended.
