about

This is my VERSION of Jimmy Barnes' song LAY DOWN YOUR GUNS, taken from his 1990 album, Two Fires.

I've always really loved this song along with being a big Barnes appreciator and fan of Cold Chisel.
There have been other versions of this song, a notable one being Barnes' performance of it with The Living End.I hope that my version, being a different take on the song is worthy.

Here is a link to the original. The videoclip is pretty great as well;

Jimmy if you hate it, please don't sue me, il get rid of it.

lyrics

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
