Gimme Shelter

Saw the movie: "Gimme Shelter" for the first time summer 1982 in Berlin (West) at a movie theater in the Hardenberg-Strasse. I remember very well about this evening, because it was a Music Movie Night beginning with Gimme Shelter, Bob Dylan's "Renaldo and Clara" and at last "Rust never sleeps", Neil Young's great concert movie. I know it like today, that we drove home with the U-Bahn Linie 1 and I sat at the opposite-seat of Albrecht Metzger, the "Germany proudly presents" hosts of Rockpalast. Albrecht Metzger wore two different socks. The early 80s in Wall-City. A mixture of punk, rock, alternative art. Crazy music at the SO36 in Kreuzberg, Hansaplast and Bowie "Heros".

Gimme Shelter Lyrics

Oh, a storm is threat'ning
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

Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull 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
It's just a shot away

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

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

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

The floods is threat'ning
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
