[Chorus] If only I could see you turn myself to me And recognize the poison in my heart There is no other place, no one else I face No remedy to agree with how I feel

Machine Gun is the third track from Portisheads Third album.
The instrumental uses a percussion that it rattling I’m a way to resemble the sound of a Machine Gun which is where the track gets it name from.
The lyrics are a reflection of Beth Gibbons more toxic side, where she used to only see the good inside herself. This shows lyrical maturity in the way she acknowledges her faults.
