They Might Be Giants - Sapphire Bullets Of Pure Love Lyrics






Pistol shots
Gun shots
Pistol shots
Gun shots

Bullets from a revolver
Bullets from a gun
Bullets through the atmosphere
Here they come

John, I've been bad
And they're coming after me
Done someone wrong
And I fear that it was me

Sapphire bullets
Bullets of pure love

Sapphire bullets
Bullets of pure love

They Might Be Giants Sapphire Bullets Of Pure Love Comments
  1. P.... ....

    There is an exoplanet where it is said to rain sapphires (probably a bit more complicated in actuality, but that's what all the headlines say), so I thought this song was referencing that, but it seems the entire planet was only discovered in 2008

  2. N.... o....

    I'm pretty sure this song is about walking home in the rain after some messy break up or something bad happened. Sapphire bullets refer to raindrops as they are coming "through the atmosphere". Because rain can feel good and bad, sometimes you sing in it and sometimes you wallow in it. Sapphire bullets of pure love.

  3. s.... ....

    John mclaughlin. These guys blatantly steal the title

    s.... ....

    They are also named John. It must be a conspiracy.

    s.... ....

    @0okamino lol

    s.... ....

    shreemhreemkleem John I’ve been bad.

  4. C.... F....

    The chords of the song sounds like Crash Bandicoot music.

    C.... F....

    Yes thank you, I knew I couldn’t be the only one that heard it.

  5. B.... ....

    the title of this sounds like a touhou song

  6. b.... ....

    THIS SAPPHIRE HURT ME! THIS SAPPHIRE SUCKS!

  7. T.... ....

    Two guys named John, in unison, singing, "John, I've been bad..."

    T.... ....

    just thinking about that right now, so beautiful, powerful song

    T.... ....

    "Done someone wrong, and I fear that it was me" oh shit lol

    T.... ....

    Turtle152 There’s a lot of Johns.

  8. A.... B....

    expensive ammo

    A.... B....

    love doesn't cost anything 😎👉

    A.... B....

    I must be shopping at the wrong place.

    A.... B....

    @nizzy true love only

  9. C.... M....

    Reminds me of "the softest bullet ever shot" from Flaming Lips.

    C.... M....

    Maybe some influence, with _The Soft Bulletin_ being released about 9 years after _Flood_ (though TMBG and Flaming Lips have been around for almost the same amount of time). Could also just be coincidence.

  10. J.... M....

    The intro sounds different for me... huh that's weird

    J.... M....

    somewhat reminiscent of the interludes throughout the album Strawberries by The Damned, and backing for the song Don't Bother Me at the end of that album

  11. R.... ....

    I recently realized this song is from Hal Jordan's POV. Listen to the lyrics, and tell me I'm wrong.

    R.... ....

    Your wrong.

    R.... ....

    I'm wrong.
