Monday Music Moment, Vol. 6

So, today's Monday Music Moment actually comes from ABC showing Shrek the Third this past weekend. I wasn't completely watching it...more like listening to it. And at one part, I noticed a song in the background that I just thought was lovely. I only heard a piece of it, but I was determined to find it and use it for this Monday Music Moment. I did my research, and after a lot of searching, I determined that the song I heard was called "9 Crimes," and that it's sung by the wonderful Damien Rice along with a beautiful young lady by the name of Lisa Hannigan.

I've heard Damien Rice's stuff before, and he's fantastic. I just thought the melody of this song was hauntingly beautiful. So, I bring to you: "9 Crimes." Lyrics are below.

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

See you tomorrow!
