Get Your Gun


"Get Your Gun" is a song written by Lynsey de Paul and Terry Cox. It was released as a single by Zakatek on Bell Records on 12 October 1973. The b-side was another de Paul and Cox penned song "Gotta Runaway". Both sides were produced by de Paul and the strings were arranged by Christopher Gunning and de Paul. It has been described as "Freaky, bizarre and ultimately interesting and a definite one-off".
A German language version with the title "Roter Mann" with German lyrics written by Gunter Gabriel was released in 1974, also on Bell Records and sung by Zakatek. This version was released on the German compilation album, 1000 Nadelstiche - Amerikaner Und Briten Singen Deutsch on Bear Family Records in 2002.
