Nothing Short of a Bullet is a 2001 live album by The Lowest of the Low. The album documents the band's 2000 reunion tour. The title comes from a line in the band's song "For the Hand of Magdalena", Nothing short of a bullet could have broken your will.
It was released on MapleMusic Recordings.
The tracks on the album are taken from performances in Toronto and Buffalo. One of the songs performed in concert, "The Unbearable Lightness of Jean", did not appear on either of the band's studio albums, although a live version of it did appear on their Motel 30 single.
The album also contains a studio disc with three new songs, two originals by the band and one cover of a Bad Religion song.
Famous quotes containing the words short and/or bullet:
“Man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. He cometh up, and is cut down, like a flower; he fleeth as it were a shadow, and never continueth in one stay.”
—“Burial of the Dead,” first anthem, Book of Common Prayer (1662)
“Consider his life which was valueless
In terms of employment, hotel ledgers, news files.
Consider. One bullet in ten thousand kills a man.
Ask. Was so much expenditure justified
On the death of one so young and so silly
Lying under the olive tree, O world, O death?”
—Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
