Gimme Shelter (the X Factor Performance) Lyrics - Matt Linnen

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 your 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
