Gimme Shelter

by Tom Jones New Model Army

on The Definitive Tom Jones 1964-2002 (2003)

Ooh, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh, yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

See the fire is sweeping
Our very streets today
Burns like a red, coal carpet
Mad bull has lost its way

War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children
It's just a shot away
Shot away
Shot away

Rape, murder
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder
It's just a shot away
Shot away
Shot away

Give me shelter
Please give me shelter
(Give me, give me shelter)
Somebody, somebody give me shelter
(Give me shelter)
(Give me, give me shelter)
Please please please give me shelter
(Give me, give me shelter)
Somebody, somebody give me shelter
(Give me, give me shelter)
(Give me, give me shelter)
Give me, give me, give me shelter
(Give me, give me shelter)
Won't somebody give me shelter
Please please give me shelter
