Carlisle, Belinda - Lay Down Your Arms Lyrics






Your words how they cut so deep
I can hear you in my sleep
Lying here, wishing here
Wishing here, waiting

You forget I know your tender spots
But I'll be careful with your heart
But I'm the one loving you
So come on and love me

Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
Why'd you want to go
And shoot love to the ground
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down down
Lay with me

Sometimes I can be so cold
I let you in but I don't let go
Pulling you, pushing you
Pushing you, pulling

Don't want to tear our love apart
Can we find each other in the dark?
Can we start living here?
Can we start giving?

So, we are in love
So, we are at war
But we can be on the same side

    1:45-1:46 he looks like Christian Bales character in American Psycho getting a business card that is better than his.

  4. c.... e....

    If the music is by Belinda Carlisle, it's good.

  5. L.... T....

    Wow!!! It just shows how different types / sounds of her songs, her different voice pitches & the capturing videos of so many interesting colour schemes have always been & always will be amazing!!!

  6. J.... K....

    Класс!.

  7. a.... s....

    Does she do gangbangs?

  8. J.... S....

    Great song and props to Charlotte. La Carlisle is in great vocal form, but this has to be the silliest video ever produced and I can't stop laughing. I'm sure there's some point of artistic license I'm missing? 😁

  9. R.... V....

    Belinda is an adorable cowgirl :) Cute video. Girl power! I think Real could be Belinda's best album.

  10. C.... J....

    when it is going to be on itunes?

  11. a.... ....

    I worship Belinda

  12. M.... R....

    Awesome Belinda.............❤

    president trump's message to north korea no more missiles!!!

    M.... R....

    Belinda Carlisle hates Trump with a passion. Check out her Twitter account and you'll see.

  13. u.... ....

  14. T.... ....

    Original was great, this is even better!

  15. J.... B....

    Great song, video is so wrong for it though, but Belinda looks beautiful!

  16. S.... t....

    never lay on a woman !

  17. S.... H....

    NOT as good as The Grace's version! Nowhere near as cool.

  18. o.... e....

    jamas te olvidare!1

    classic ! brings back memorys....

    p.... l....

    +phil long crap vid though they are Ravens not buzzards........

  22. p.... ....

    An outstanding cover of The Graces hit song.  In its own way, Belinda's version is just as powerful.

    p.... ....

    no way!

  23. a.... ....

    Love the wink she does at 3:46. :)

  24. j.... ....

    Those incomparable pipes!  Love it when Belinda really belts out the lyrics like she means it.

  25. C.... R....

    Unbelievably good!

  26. S.... O....

    One of my favourite Belinda songs and clips. The Real album was great and I wished a third single had been done. One with You is great!

    S.... O....

    not her song..she never wrote anything..Charlotte Caffey and her band, The Graces do the best version by far and she wrote it

    S.... O....

    ziggyff actually she co-wrote most of the songs on this album. Not this one though.

  27. N.... ....

    What a stinky video.

    N.... ....

    @AtomicOrgasm Not a stinky tune

    N.... ....

    @kenny P Nope.

    N.... ....

    +AtomicOrgasm Gosh it really is a bit pants. I've never seen it before and can say I've not missed anything. l imagined a video to this looking very different. Great tune though.

    N.... ....

    um that's you

  28. W.... Y....

    The song is great, but I prefer the original version of the song by “The Graces”.

    W.... Y....

    Charlotte Caffey sings on both, so it's all good. :-)

  29. w.... ....

    Very nice version of this song by Belinda ... I prefer the original by The Graces ( which included her fellow ex-Go-Go, Charlotte Caffey, who also co-wrote the song ) ... but Belinda does it justice here ... Too bad about the video clip ... Such a strong passionate song deserved a different treatment to this corny pantomime western ... Wayne

  30. L.... L....

    VERY FUNNY VIDEO!!!

    WE LOVE BELINDA CARLISLE!!!

    SALUDOS DESDE CHILE!!! 2013.

  31. c.... ....

    Underrated album REAL....many good songs like you guys mentioned..dont forget TELL ME>...:)

  32. b.... ....

    She sounds very similar to Hole - very bright and vivid, just like "Malibu"

  33. h.... ....

    this is far too serious a song to have a silly video

  34. r.... w....

    Awesome song! Belinda sounds great!!

  35. V.... K....

    The song is great! But I don't like the video.

  36. T.... V....

    I love so much this music !!!

  37. s.... a....

    i like the cowboy postcards

  38. g.... ....

    I love this album. I think if this had been the first single, followed by Wrap My Arms & Where Love Hides...it could've been the hit it deserved to be!

  39. D.... M....

    REALis such a BRILLIANT album!!!!!!!!!!!! Sooo overlooked it makes me sad!. One with you is a great song!!!! Too much water.. where love hides.. all of it!!! JUST PERFECT POP.. like all her albums!!!

  40. s.... ....

    I love this song. The video is quite funny too. It's a shame that the album did not do as well as it should have in the charts. Real is an awesome album

  41. J.... ....

    @sivazh u cam buy em on ebay but beware! theres 2 love in the key of c cd singles. only one has the 8 track demos. to listen on youtube, theyre called "whatcha doin to me", "wrap my arms", "too much water", "change", "dont cry", & "here comes my baby"

  42. s.... ....

    No, I haven't heard any of them, I will check them out, thanks! I am a true lover of anything and everything Belinda, she is one of the most gorgeous and talented singers ever. I haven't really ever heard any of her demos or unreleased tracks, but I'd love to. I will have to hunt around.

  43. J.... ....

    though its hard to not choose Big scary animal, too much water, arms, where love hides hehehehe One with you certainly is an awesomely fierce psychedlic dance song and rapturously spiritual. Have you ever heard the 8track demos when they were shopping for real. 3 unreleased tracks + Wrap my arms, too much water, and here comes my baby. You can find them on youtube. The actual songs were released as bsides for Big Scary Animal, Lay Down Your Arms, and Love in the Key of C.

  44. J.... ....

    I remember when she and charlotte promoted it on K-ROQ. They asked callers what their favorites were. Though it was very hard to choose, I agreed with the callers... Who said Wrap my arms. Never played it that night though. They did play Goodbye Day, Big Scary Animal, Lay Down Your Arms, Where Love Hides, Windows of the World, and Here Comes My Baby. Hands down, Real is Belinda's best album gogos or solo. Too hard to choose a favorite, but I'd say Wrap, Windows, Baby,

  45. s.... ....

    My fav songs off this album were Goodbye Day, One With You, Wrap My Arms, and Windows of the World. Underrated album by far!

  46. D.... D....

    Along with singer Meredith Brooks. Just wanted to add.

  47. D.... D....

    To the person comparing this to the Grace's version. Did you know Charlotte Caffey was part of the Grace's and penned this song. So only befitting Belinda cover this as well.

    D.... D....

    Donald Davis Also, it's worth mentioning that Charlotte Caffey played guitar and sang backup on this, and the whole rest of the "Real" album as well. Kinda funny reading comments from people complaining about it as if it were some sort of ripoff, when in fact, this version still comes from the source (Caffey), and is every bit as valid as the original... Just recorded later, after The Graces didn't succeed, and lead vocals by Belinda instead.

    I also happen to be one of the few who thinks this version is actually better, but I could be biased as a massive GO-GO'S fan lol. Of course, everyone has their opinion and it's all subjective anyway...

    To me, this album and song was the closest to the Go-Go's we had since their breakup, so I loved it. I think Belinda and Charlotte were made to work together.

    Also, Pat Smear played guitar on this album, so bonus points lol

  48. m.... t....

    @mlthomas33 yep...1:31 min into the song.

  49. m.... t....

    did I see Debra Winger in this video? Great song and album!

  50. p.... ....

    this sucks! cant compare to the graces original version

    p.... ....

    The lyrics in this version are lamer, too.

  51. s.... ....

    Cute video...beautiful voice..love this song:)

  52. d.... ....

    @Trescompadres1 Agree. The original version by Charlotte Caffey's band was stronger. More rock imo.

  53. B.... v....

    Funny video,,,first time i saw it....lol.
    Belinda is one of the best female artist of all times,,,together with Delta Goodrem!

  54. p.... f....

    Who are the other girls with Belinda ?

  55. m.... t....

    She deserves more exposure. What an artist!

  56. T.... P....

    One of her many great songs and videos that were never widely realized!
