Ooh, a storm is threatnin'
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 (''Yeah'')
Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our very streets today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull, lost its way
War, children, yes
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 (''Yeah'')

Mmm, the floods is threatnin'
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, yeah

You're absolutely right. Saw a video of a live performance of Mick Jagger and Fergie (Black Eyed Peas). She didn't even come close. [ Reply ]

Ug, this is why I hate Wikipedia at times. Sorry, but anyone who thinks that knows nothing about singing or anatomy. [ Reply ]

Pedro1874 Nov 18, 2012 - 03:38	A 10 for me ever since the moment I first heard it on its release. I was always fascinated with Merry Clayton and managed to get a front row table at Rainbow and Stars in NYC, (for a $20 tip!), when I was visiting in 1996. She was singing with Marianne Faithfull and Darlene Love in a wonderful tribute to Pop music. She really enjoyed herself in the show and was quoted as saying ""I love that room," she said of Rainbow and Stars, "because you can see people's faces, and you can see if they're loving it or if they're hating it or if they're not sure. I make a mental note of everybody who's sitting in front of me and to the side of me at every show, and I remember their faces. I love that intimacy." Wow! Just checking MC on Wiki and found that her brother is Sam Clayton of Little Feat and that she had a miscarriage after recording GS, "some hypothesize this was due to the strain associated with reaching such high notes whilst singing".
