Oh jumpin’, jumpin’, jumpin’ guns
Oh jumpin’, jumpin’, jumpin’ guns
Doin’ this dance with you baby, it really ain’t no fun

You go from nought to sixty 
Shout when there’s no fire 
Please take a beat, take fifty
Stop to think a while

You’re stressed when there’s no urgency 
Run when you could walk 
Fight when there’s no enemy 
Going off half-cocked

Oh jumpin’, jumpin’, jumpin’ guns
Oh jumpin’, jumpin’, jumpin’ guns
Doin’ this dance with you baby, it really ain’t no fun

You overreact every time 
No matter what the news
Each step you tread could be a mine 
You’re gonna blow a fuse 

You’re seein’ danger everywhere
Behind each mundane scroll
One day you might slip and fall
Right down that big black hole

Oh jumpin’, jumpin’, jumpin’ guns
Oh jumpin’, jumpin’, jumpin’ guns
Doin’ this dance with you baby, it really ain’t no fun

Jumpin’ guns, it ain’t no jive
When your trigger finger’s twitchin’
I duck, I dodge, I swerve through life 
When both barrels you’re givin’

Oh jumpin’ jumpin’ jumpin’ guns
Oh jumpin’ jumpin’ jumpin’ guns
Doin’ this dance with you baby, it really ain’t no fun

NOVA ONE - violet dreams

'One of Us' was written as a direct response to what I see happening in the UK – a country ravaged by poverty and a disintegrating social fabric of increasingly isolated and intoxicated people. A neglected group spun in circles by an uncaring billionaire-owned media, (mis)led into pointing the finger at one another as opposed to those truly responsible for this situation. A depressing but common problem in 2019…sound familiar?

"Brooklyn's Russian Baths released their debut album back in 2019. A year later, they've returned to album standout "Responder" for an entirely new "Night" version of the song. Where the original is a dark, driving rock song, the new take is haunted, twinkling like the midnight sky, with skittering drums, melancholy piano and an open road's worth of atmosphere." ~ BrooklynVegan

Striving to control others (emotions, desire, behaviors) corrupts. This seems like a chronic symptom of the worst in masculinity.

A responder talks back, but does it listen? Not equipped with the tools to be vulnerable, one voice denies reality, refuses to connect, exerts more control, idolizing restraint ("the way I held every face card") and admonishing its counterpart ("you way you scolded me"). With denial (to self and other), all's bound to collapse. Both know it will happen. Neither wants it.

I guess it's also an exploration of the big 80s breakup love ballads of the Patty Smyth featuring Don Henley variation, but the dark sexual politics of the heartbreak are more explicit. This is the night version.

I was listening to a lot of the xx and Sinead O'Connor when we wrote it and when re-recording it, I was listening to PJ Harvey almost exclusively. I wonder if this bleeds into the atmosphere.
