Haha - West End Girls (Pet Shop Boys):
"Sometimes you're better off dead
There's gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head"

To continue the theme:
Arrive smeared in soft earth, soaking in generic alkaline cleaning fluid, in the state which I desire of you - in the manner of a fad, in the manner of a valued acquaintance, as a recollection of the distant past. Recollection, oh recollection, oh recollection, oh. (I can assure you with the utmost conviction that I am not currently in possession of a firearm.)

Correct! "I swear that I don't have a gun" only comes in after the second verse.
