Browne, Jackson - Lawyers In Love Lyrics

MOST underrated 80s song, seriously. Jackson is so smart and handsome, plus he's a Bernie supporter, what's not to love?

Texas tornadis

At 10, I was way too young to get the point of the video, but I loved the song and watched it every time it came on MTV.

Great Song, Great Video !

One of the stranger cases of a conventional artist dabbling with the new wave genre. For Browne, it turned out a winner. More than that, it's a major song of his among fans.

was calvin klein's jeans popular in USA when this song came out?

always loved this classic

I was too young to really know this song, but it reminds me of fond memories of my childhood where I'd just listen to good rock for hours on end.

He still looked like a 20-year-old at 34. Ah, the eternal youth of the cool.

Yeah he could pass for at least mid 20s, he must have great genes. Even at 71 he still doesn't look his age today

Love this song, took me ages to find it, thanks for posting it :-)

Algun latino que le guste Jackson Browne. ? esta cancion me gusta mucho. me trae mucha nostalgia de mi adolecencia. tenia 12 añitos cuando se escuchaba en la radio...

I bought this album when my daughter was three. She'll be 40 next year. Ouch! Love Jackson Brown. Carry on Brothers and Sisters.

Esta canción me trae tristes recuerdos ,pues eran los 80s y mi situación económica era malísima , se escuchaba en una estación de radio en fm...wfm se llamaba , pero el tiempo es medicina y hoy 12...12...19...la.cosa ah mejorado.. gracias a Dios..!

Memories of watching MTV in 9th grade!!!

Great song and video, thanks for sharing

Great tune still

So sweet love this song Jackson Browne lawyer in love ,,he is such a awesome one ,,,cute voice

For some reason, I really liked this when I was 10... Can't figure out why.. Other than that all music in the 80's was awesome.

When I tell people that THIS is my favorite Jackson Browne song, first they say "How did you get in here?" and then they act as if it's not a real song. Thanks for posting. I love it. Very nice video from when people were still putting some thought into their music videos.

I can me this tune in 3 notes

i was 7 years old when this song came out,,,, it never got too old listening to it

One of the best rifts of all time.

Just think, three decades later, and we still have to keep an eye on those sneaky Russians...

"I can't keep up with what's been going down
I think my heart must just be slowing down
Among the human beings, in their designer jeans
Am I the only one who hears the screams
And the strangled cries
Of lawyers in love
God sends his spaceships to America, the beautiful
They land at six o'clock and there we are, the dutiful
Eating from TV trays, tuned into happy days
Waiting for world war three while Jesus slaves
To the mating calls
Of lawyers in love
Ooh sha lala ooo ooh
Ooh sha lala ooo ooh
(Aah ohh)
Ooh sha lala ooo ooh
Ooh sha lala ooo ooh
Last night I watched the news from Washington, the Capitol
The Russians escaped while we weren't watching them
Like Russians do
Now we've got all this bloom, we needn't got the room
And I hear the U.S.S.R will be open soon
As vacation land for lawyers in love
Lawyers in love
Lawyers in love
Ooh sha lala ooo ooh
Ooh sha lala ooo ooh
(Aah ohh)
Ooh sha lala ooo ooh
Ooh sha lala ooo ooh
Lawyers in love

Heard this again a few weeks ago while at Glacier National Park. Was a favorite and been playing it ever since!

I couldn't wait to buy this album. My daughter was three. She just turned 39 this year. Still my baby. Still love Jackson brown.

Can't get more early 80s than this.

watching from Area 51

..linda y maravillosa cancion..x siempre

Is this before or after he beat the shit out of Daryll Hannah, another hypocrite hippie

Great song and video from my high schools days.

Absolute classic

My Personal Fave

36 years later and I am still laughing. This is one of the funniest videos I ever saw. I fell off my chair when the lawyer in his Mercedes stops paddling and calls out an Indian love call. And the overhead choreography shot of the marching briefcase drill - what were they thinking? Due to the subject matter I can see why this song faded quickly from the charts. One of Brown's best.

Wow its been years since I heard this... ande its still good !! Thanks Jackson !

Who else thinks this is a stupid song?

How they should end Better Call Saul

Montreax in 82 is when SRV and Jackson Brown met. Thanksgiving of the same year, the band went to L.A. and recorded over this....

THE ENTIRE TEXAS FLOOD ABLUM IS RECORDED OVER ALL OF THIS!

Very few people know this but this is the recorded tape that SRV and Double Trouble were offered to record over...

Which then became Texas Flood!!!

This is what Stevie and his band recorded over.

Love Jackson Browne, awesome musician, song writer and good bloke

A true hidden gem

Have always loved that song, something almost haunting about it. Good job Mark Pines on the video, things were a LOT harder back then. Great scene at the end with the lawyer formation dancing with their attache cases. By the way is it my imagination or does Jackson Browne at 1:40 look a bit like Gary Cole in office space??

I've seen Jackson Browne in concert about 7 times ... he never does this song. I wish he would add it to his playlist.

So are they hiring in Kentucky

Born in 63 and I feel fortunate to have grown up during some great music from the 70's 80's and 90's . . . But now . . .
the days the music died

This video and the Dire Straits video Making Movies were the first ones I saw when we got cable on MTV.

You made one of the all time great videos here. Thank you.

Wow, he looked young year. Love how he predicted FOX News, lol.

More like CNN - Communist News Network, home of the fake news

I was 22 when this came out. My family had just gotten cable a day earlier, and this was the first "World Premiere Video" I ever saw on MTV! I left for grad school soon after its release and I never lived at home for more than a week or two at a time on visits after that. Soooo, I have always remembered this video as a marker of a time of transition in my life.

What a beautiful young face.

This video is absolutely one of my favorite things from the entire decade of the 1980s!!!!!

Browne aged really well! He was 34 or 35 in this video and looked mid 20s. I wish this obscure 80s song would make a comeback in a GTA game

Loved this song. Something up tempo and lighthearted from a guy whose natural inclination is to the melancholy and introspective.

a,rock gem

I seen this concert in two different cities and I was just about 40 years old then. LOL still listen to Him . ( I capitalize the word him out of respect. )

Love this song. :)

this vid shows the depth of thought from jackson. the alien msg probably ignored. extra point for mockingbird and mkultra. ur tax dollars at work.

This song is very appropriate with our fucked up presidency and russia going on today

Buenaza esta canción los 80mejor epoca

Ron Burgundy at 3:47.

The scathing lines about the cold war with Russia are as relevant as ever thanks to the CURRENT cold war with Russia.

1983...the second great 'height' of the 45 year 'cold war'. That year there was new leader in the USSR (Andropov)...the Soviets shot down KAL Flight 007, and the 'Day After' was first aired on U.S. television.

This is such a wonderful video and brings back so many memories. It is still just as relevant today as it was back then - great job.

This, to me, is one of Jackson's best songs. Of course, I like about everything he does, but this one is fantastic! The video is awesome as well!

Last night I watched the news from Washington the capital,they were FAKE NEWS as always been.

Great video and song brings me back to my high school years with memories of watching MTV after school with friends for many hours

I often listen to this song before I vote in a national election.
Absolutely every line in this song was true or came true in the 80s and 90s. The most prophetic pop song I can recall.

Nice to see this video 15 years later, this now 35 year old Video. Love the song and the picture quality of this video

The USA was so Stupid that they thought that Russia will be theirs but, Never happened.

If that's what you think it meant, then don't ever listen to Randy Newman's song, "Political Science."

You'll also enjoy the video for Comsat Angels, "Independence Day."

Gosh I love this song ,,,Lawyers in love , Jackson Browne

One of the best tracks from summer ‘83. My only job was to listen to the radio and drive out the 3 bucks in the tank.

Cuando la escuchaba en wfm radio

Heard this on the radio the other day. First time in 30 years! Damn...what else have I missed?

yeahhh to all the naysayers here.....premise is still same. Back then- Dems = good Ruskies today Bad Ruskies….even if RR didn't affect outcome he was still best prez since GW and better than Lincoln …...boooyahh

Tommy Pwood you poor ignorant trumpturd. Go back to stuffing your face with Cheetos and sucking up the orange koolaid. Sad idiot.

Mark you're a genius x

Cyndi Lauper - The Goonies 'r' Good Enough owe this song writer some money.

Sorry you tube im not being playing music ,,I'm back love this song ....Lawyers in love .....Jackson brown,,,,, Awesome song,,it will put me to sleep,,

I'm so nostalgic for the Cold War now!

the brief case drill team is the best.

Wtf? I didn't know that the german soccer coach was a rockstar when he was young...

Good song

He looks a bit like " Gilligan " ! ( Bob Denver !)

Watch those Russians ! As the words in the song goes !

Yes, with the orange turd, they are falling out of trees.

Brilliant Jackson Browne song " Lawyers in love "! love the awesome beat ! awesome band ! great lyrics ! Simply awesome .

Everyday this song gets funnier by the minute.

Seemed like the perfect time to listen and share this predestined classic.

Glad I ran into this Song and I remembered it !! Something about this song just captivates me !!

Listen to "For a rocker" on the same album.
Great guitar solo!!

Lawyers doing D&C .... Don't even know what to say about that one .  I thought the Russians gave tourists a tin of Caviar and a fifth of Vodka not those Hawaiian thingies that even the Hawaiians don't give out anymore .  I miss Friday Night Videos .

it was so way ahead of its time
like Jackson x

Daddy why do you look so much like Jeremy and sound so much like me?

This guy is literally my dad. I've always been so proud we are on a lost highway.

Literally? Lol

Pretty good for a song that's total nonsense :)

I love the look and feel of this video--really great job.

Donna Johnson the great day Donna thank you for your comment you are beautiful too have a great day

and chump and co are trying to let the ruskies "escape" gain

love this song and he was one handsome man

thank you for one of the video greats from the 80s

Weird Al couldn't make a joke version of this song and video. Perhaps he could reverse engineer the "lost" original serious song and video this made fun of. Then, he could switch labels and make this the "Weird Al" version. Seriously, I love this song. Just making an observation.

David H Braun You cannot make a spoof of a spoof.

great voice...and very cute!...at least I thought so at age 19..when this song was popular!

Oh yeah he's hella handsome in this video, he was 34 but looked like mid-late 20s whereas most guys that age seemed to look way rougher/older in the 80s.
