"Lay Down Your Guns"

"Lay Down Your Guns"



You picked me up when I was down with nothing
And gave me something, I can't face the world without
You showed me just enough to fuel my fire
My desire, never wanna live without it

Both of us need something like we had before
We can't keep fighting like this anymore
This love affair is breaking my heart

All the pushing and the shoving
When we know that we ought to be loving
And the lying and the cheating
When we ought to be loving and squeezing
Come on come on
Lay down your guns and surrender

Remember days we thought would last forever
Nothing better but we let them slip away
Cause in the end we make the bed we lie in
Lets start trying
What's the point of talking about it

Never seems to make it better
If we can't get on together
Take a chance and try a brand new start

All the pushing and the shoving
When we know that we ought to be loving
And the lying and the cheating
When we ought to be loving and squeezing
Come on come on
Lay down your guns and surrender

"Laying Down The Law"
(with INXS)

"Laying Down The Law"
(with INXS)



I'm laying down the law
Showdown in the northland
Just the whiff of corruption
Is the tip of the iceberg

Savor and sweet liberty
And there's trouble from the south
Shouting from the gallery
Now I find I've got to shut it out

I'm searching for a light
To kill my sense of fear
To break through darkened nights
And take me through the years

There's no need to tell you
What I think has gone wrong
There's grey clouds of dissension
Let it show, let it show a silver lining

Sweet blood on the razor
Is it poetry or politics?
Forget about the nightmare
I'll make it a dream that changes everything

I'm searching for a light
To kill my sense of fear
To break through darkened nights
And take me through the years

Sweet blood on the razor
Is it poetry or politics?
Forget about the nightmare
I'll make it a dream that changes everything

I'm searching for a light
To kill my sense of fear
To break through darkened nights
And take me through the years

"Let It Go"

"Let It Go"



Still thinking beautiful thoughts about you
Sometimes I wonder if you still think about me too
I hear that you have been seeing someone else
I get unreasonable when I’m talkin’ to myself
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go

I’m not feeling comfortable, I’m still feeling sad
‘Cause I know that I’m responsible
For the troubles that we had
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go

When I look into my heart, lord I know
Give it up and walk away, let it go
Tryin’ to live without you is a new experience
But this new way I feel about you
Oh baby, it’s starting to make sense
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go

"Let's Make It Last All Night"

"Let's Make It Last All Night"



Baby you say you gotta say goodbye
You tell me that you gotta go
But you don't wanna tell me why
And I wouldn't try to make you stay
Even though it hurts inside
I think you're better off this way
Just before your touch has turned to ice
Baby give me one more taste of paradise

Let's make it last all night
This could be the last time I make love to you
Let's make it last all night
Baby give me something to hold on to
Even if we can't make it right
Baby make it last all night

Baby before you throw it all away
Before goodbye is carved in stone
And then there's nothing left to say
Before you close the door on your desire
Baby give me one more chance to feel your fire

Let's make it last all night
This could be the last time I make love to you
Let's make it last all night
Baby give me something to hold on to
Even if we can't make it right
Baby make it last all night
Before your touch is turned to ice
Give me one more taste of paradise

"Little Darling"

"Little Darling"



Well I was feeling kinda insecure
In a way I never felt before
I went through my life without no guarantees
Did whatever I wanted
Whenever I pleased

Well before I knew it
We were out of the door
When all that I wanted was a little bit more
You pulled the strings and girl I followed you home
I just couldn't wait until I got you alone

I wasn't looking for a love that's true
Buts there's no way that ill get over you
I'm not the kind to sweep you off your feet
But hurry girl because I'm loosing sleep

Now little darling you're the only one
My heart is racing like I'm on the run
Now Little darling wont you say you're gonna stay with me

Ohhh Yeah

Well I get to your house
Like the rest of the band
But somehow these things don't always turn out as planned
You called me a cab and yeah I walked out that door
I felt like my heart was gonna fall through the floor

I only wanted to hold you tight
But you made it clear this just wasn't the night
I didn't mean to get in so deep
But hurry darling coz I'm loosing sleep

Now Little darling you're the only one
My heart is racing like I'm on the run
Hey little darling wont you say your gonna stay with me

Ohh, little darling
Take me back ohhh
Ohhh little darling
Gonna have myself alot of fun

I wanna tell your mumma
Wanna tell your daddy too
Just you for me girl
Ohhhhh just me for you

Well little darling your the only one
My heart is racing like I'm on the run
Oh little darling wont you say you're gonna stay with me

I'm gonna give you everything you need
Just say the words and ill be on my knees
Oh little darling wont you say you're gonna marry me.

"Losing You"

"Losing You"



It's a long night
And daylight ain't coming fast
And it's cold outside
It seems the rain is gonna last

And I'm lying here awake
All the silence I can take
And I feel I'm gonna break
And get up and run

I can feel you move
Each breathe it seems so slow
Thinking of your touch
But I have to let it go

And each word that ain't been said
It feels like thunder in my head
And I'm shaking in this bed
And it ain't from the cold

I feel it slipping, girl I'm losing you
You're drifting further with each thing that you do
I feel it slipping, girl I know that I'm losing you
Yeah I'm losing you

And each word that ain't been said
Just feels like thunder in my head
And I'm shaking in this bed
And it ain't from the cold, yeah

I feel it slipping, girl I'm losing you
You're drifting further with each thing that you do
I feel it slipping, girl I know that I'm losing you

I feel it slipping, girl I'm losing you
You're drifting further with each thing that you do
I feel it slipping, girl I know that I'm losing you
Yeah I'm losing you

I know that I'm losing you
Yeah I know that I'm losing you
I know that I'm losing you
I know that I'm losing you

"Love And Devotion"

"Love And Devotion"



I looked for love and I was tired of searching
Thought I’d had enough
I had a dream but it was slowly fading
Seen but never touched

It must be wrong I need some affection
Can’t live my life alone

Give me love and devotion
And let the loving start

I washed my hands of loves situations
I kept it to myself
Was holding back but I wasn’t saving
My love for no one else

Just take my time and show my intentions
And wait for love to grow

Give me love and devotion
That’s what I need straight from the heart
You gotta show some emotion
And let the loving start

Every day I look around my world
Every day I fall apart
But I know that you’re there somewhere
For my heart

It must be wrong I need some affection
Can’t live my life alone

Give me love and devotion
That’s what I need straight from the heart
You gotta show some emotion
And let the loving start

"Love Gone Cold"

"Love Gone Cold"



Been a while since I saw your face
Since you left without a trace
And left me with a pain in my heart
I don’t know the reason why
I’m standing here alone still crying
Wondering if you’ve made a new start

Baby I can’t sleep at night, another evening slips on by
I toss and turn just thinking of you
I can’t go out find someone new
There’s not a girl in the world will do
For you my heart will always be true

Should have known you felt alone when you’re
On your own, but you never told me
Why did you hide when you used to cry and you
Had to lie, while you stand alone and cry
All I own is a memory of a love gone cold

At the start I just kept denying
In the dark all alone I’m crying
Hopping that you’re changing your mind
Can’t you feel all the love that I’m sending
Am I wrong still to be pretending
Have we really ran out of time

Should have known you felt alone when you’re
On your own, but you never told me
Why did you hide when you used to cry when I lied
You’d just stand alone and cry
All I own is a memory of a love gone cold
All I own is a memory of a love gone cold

I can’t take it girl, there’s no tomorrow
Well I can’t make it through one more day alone
All I own is a memory of a love gone cold
All I own is a memory of a love gone cold
All I own is a memory of a love gone cold
All I own is a memory of a love gone cold
All I own is a memory of a love gone cold
All I own is a memory of a love gone cold
