Story behind the song
Inspired by the memory of a television program I had seen about a woman who had hired a detective to follow her husband to find out if he was having an affair - which he was. The confrontation that followed wasn't pretty.
Lyrics
Bang Bang Instrumental intro… Verse 1 She found out Photo’s from outside a motel window That left her in no doubt She let it all out Bang, bang the door swung open wide Nowhere for him or her to hide The girl got dressed her husband lied Why after all these years, she cried Verse 2 He told her Said he hadn’t ever, ever loved her Said she hadn’t meant a thing But she could keep the ring Bang, bang is what the neighbours said Two holes inside a poor mans head A grieving widow is what they read As they safely tuck themselves in bed Chorus Why didn’t they say that love could hurt this way No one told you it hurt And the pain might stay Stay and never go away Might stay Stay and hurt someone someday Verse 3 part 1 She’d killed him And now she couldn’t face the guilt inside her She hit it with some Gin And stuck the needle in Instrumental… Verse 3 part 2 Bang, bang her hear began to race The cold took her in its embrace Regret appeared to leave no trace Upon her worn and weary face Repeat Chorus… Instrumental outro
