In For The Kill

Elly Jackson told Steve Harris of XFM radio: "It's about telling someone how you feel regardless of what you get back, and not waiting to find out if they want you or not. I was quite in to someone in quite a deep and intense way and I went overseas (Paris) and told them I like them. It all fired back in my face but that's not the point you do it for yourself."

[Verse 1] We can fight our desires (Ooh) But when we start making fires We get ever so hot (Ooh) Whether we like it or not They say we can love who we trust (Ooh) But what is love without lust? Two hearts with accurate devotions (Ooh) What are feelings without emotions? [Chorus] I'm going in for the kill I'm doing it for a thrill Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand I'm going in for the kill I'm doing it for a thrill Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand [Verse 2] I hang my hopes out on the line (Ooh) Well they'd be ready for you in time If you leave them out too long (Ooh) They'll be withered by the sun Full stops and exclamation marks (Ah-ah) (Ooh) My words stumble before I start How far can you send emotions? (Ooh-ooh) (Ooh) Can this bridge cross the ocean? [Chorus] I'm going in for the kill I'm doing it for a thrill Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand I'm going in for the kill I'm doing it for a thrill Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand [Bridge] Let's go to war to make peace Let's be cold to create heat I hope in darkness we can see And you're not blinded by the light from me [Interlude] Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh [Chorus] I'm going in for the kill I'm doing it for a thrill Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand
