"Shot By Both Sides" is a song written by Howard Devoto and Pete Shelley and performed by the English post punk band Magazine, which appeared on their debut album Real Life in 1978 and was released as a single in the same year, reaching #41 on the UK charts. The name of the song comes from a political argument between Devoto and his girlfriend, in which she said to him: "Oh, you'll end up shot by both sides." "Shot By Both Sides" has been played live by various artists, including Radiohead, Mansun and Jarvis Cocker. View wiki
