Lay Down Your Guns (feat. The Living End) [With Jimmy Barnes Commentary]

Well, Living End are a band that, you know, I've loved for years
I mean on the, on the Double Happiness album they did the Resurrection Shuffle with me
And they're just phenomenal band
And I'd go see them live, and they're one of the few bands where, you know, after about eight songs
I'd have to stand back and catch a breath and go 'phoof', these guys are ferocious you know

Artists of the quality that are on this this thing, you know, we we'd, we'd sort of, you know, allocate
You do, you allocate a whole day, you know, 12 hours to do a song
And really, the truth of it is, you get in there, with a band like Living End
We ran through, said yeah, it's the right key
We ran through it again, yeah, we'll do this push, this pull here
And then we did three, the third take, we went, ah, that's done then

Alright

You picked me up when I was down with nothing
Gave me something, I can't face the world without
You'd show 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 (pushin' shovin' pushin' shovin')

All the pushing, the shoving
You know that we ought to be loving
The lying, the cheating
We ought to be loving and squeezing
So baby come on (come on, come on)
Lay down your guns and surrender (come on, lay down your guns)
Oh baby, come on (come on, come on)
Lay down your guns and surrender (come on, lay down)

Remember days we thought would last forever
Nothing better but we let it slip away
And in the end you make the bed we lie in
Let's stop trying
What's the point of talking 'bout it

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

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
So baby, come on (come on, come on)
Lay down your guns and surrender (come on, lay down your guns)
Oh baby, come on (come on, come on)
Lay down your guns and surrender (come on, lay down your guns)

Come on baby, lay down for me now
Yeah, alright

And both of us need something like we had before
We can't keep fighting like this anymore
This love affair is breaking my heart, yes it is

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
So baby come on (come on, come on)
Lay down your guns and surrender (come on, lay down your guns)
Oh baby, come on (come on, come on)
Lay down your guns and surrender (come on, lay down your guns)

Oh baby, come on (come on, come on)
Oh baby, come on, yeah (come on, come on)
Said baby, come on (come on, come on)
Lay down your guns and surrender
And surrender
Oh baby, come on
Lay down your guns
Lay down your guns
