John Farnham - When The War Is Over Lyrics
When the war is over, got to get away.
Pack my bags to no place, in no time, no day
You and I we used each other's shoulder
Still so young but somehow so much older
How can I go home and not get blown away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
When the war is over got to start again
Try to hold a trace of what it was back then
You and I we sent each other stories
Just a page I'm lost in all its glories
How can I go home and not get blown away?
Hope this doesn't mean our days are numbered
I got plans for more than a wanted man
All around this chaos and madness
Can't help feeling nothing more than sadness
Only choice to face it the best I can
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away

John Farnham When The War Is Over Comments
There was on youtube the song "Help" from this concert. It dissapeared. It was great. Does anybody know what concert this is and where can we find the full concert ?
❤❤❤❤ beautiful
So true love this song
This Man is the ultimate performer. He is not full of himself. He will acknowledge his fans and engage the audience to join in during his songs. He will acknowledge his backups. And just watch the difference in ages of his fans, he appeals to all. I have watched him from his days with LRB, his intensity is unimaginable. Yes there's the Beatles, Rolling Stones and countless other performers, BUT they will NEVER hold a candle to what he has accomplished over the years. He is Australia's treasure. Pure joy to listen to
Not the nicest guy you would be lead to believe.
We can all sing this song
Can we send this song to space
Jimmy made it justice
Surely one of the most powerful Male vocalists ever
7:02 ones of the best vocals. Ever. Pure talent.
just a beautiful kind man
My mate is from England and believes yothi windi is John farnhams first cousin.
Steve, say hi to ur fam g.. Xoxo
Thank u Jonny,,,xoxo!!!!
I remember John Farnham years ago in a New Zealand telethon. He gave his heart and soul to that show. He is really is a true profesional performer.
Awesome! What an incredible talent is John, vocal range and power! Amazing!
RIP LJ Mac Lennan died in Vietnam 1971 aged 21. Buried Keilor Cemetery.
I Just cant get enough of this AUSTRALIAN LEGEND
amazing pipes on this guy
Written by Chisel's drummer, Steve Prestwich
Too many ads. Will go elsewhere for my Farnie fix! Thanks Youtube - but no thanks!
Not interested in the ads. Just want to see John!!! Best male vocalist of all time!
Classic Farnham
John Farnham just makes you feel really good about everything.
I love how he shouted out his long-time backing singer Lisa Edwards, having just given birth.
Australia's favorite Briton.
Play your music every day
I Just cant get enough of this AUSTRALIAN LEGEND
The Voice!!!! Enough said
Gosebops alover. Best live performance I've ever heard. He's voice is truly amazing.
John Farnham is Australia's best male vocalist of all time.
Arent we lucky to have John as our Icon
I love John and his songs could sing to them all day
Awesome! What an incredible talent is John, vocal range and power! Amazing!
Love this some
what a VOICE
He's a freak of nature. Jimmy Barnes is an icon but this guy has more talent in his pinky finger!
John Farnham is Australias greatest legend with one of the greatest voices to ever come out of Australia singing one of our greatest classic songs luv it luv u John Farnham what a legend
One of the greatest voices? It IS the greatest male voice that's ever come out of Australia my friend 😊
Australia’s Greatest Treasure
WTF is wrong with the 86 people who gave this a thumbs down? Seriously? Fun banter, followed by proof that he is the greatest living male pop vocalist. You people must be tone deaf.
Chin D'awares or jealous.
Why can not Mr Wheatley do for John what he did for Little River Band??? John is as great. Yes even better live like L R B were
John is an Aussie icon for obvious reason to anyone who isn't time deaf. Tom Jones and Celine Dion are both on the record acknowledging John as among the very best in the World today
Australia sorry but you copied chord chisel
You mean Cold Chisel? You know their singer Jimmy Barnes has performed the song with this guy right? You know they're _the_ quintessential Aussie band? Australia copied itself? Why on earth wouldn't we - there's noone like Farnsey or Chisel.
FFFFF AAAA RRRR KKKKKKKKKKKKKK
A lot of people can argue but John Farnham was and is the best on stage performer not just Australia,but the world has listen to it seen
John Farnham is the World's best male vocalist ever!
Amazing song and singer
Just an Amazing Voice and an Absolutely Beautiful Soul..We love you John :)
Yes so right enjoy
Gosebops alover. Best live performance I've ever heard. He's voice is truly amazing.
Yes yes love this guy seen him in New Zealand with U2 ..liked him better and he was just the opening act..
In the 70s ..seems like yesterday to me..great memories for an outstanding performer...and a voice to match...thankyou...John for the memories ..God bless..
awesome voice that never fades even when u aged
I have had a good share of success as pro singer/artist, and sang to many thousands. And through the years I would find myself being critical at times about other artists about their live vocal performamces (as i got older, i stopped being such a dick). But I will say this, and in all honesty, if had another 100 years of solid practice vocalising, I would NEVER sound as good as John Farnham. One of the most amazing soulful voices I have ever heard. And a range to die for. God bless John. Talent in its purest form..
Faaarrrccckkk
Brings back fond memories
He could sing anything and it would sound fantastic.
Classic! Thanks For Sharing the Love
What pipes!! Awesomeness at it's best.
BEST AUSSIE SINGER EVER
When The War Is Over.....PERHAPS MY ALLTIME POWER BALLAD I EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE
What the hell was this ?? Perfection at it's best!
he's the voice
I would only ever pick one person to cover this classic... Thanks Farnsey!.
du bist für mich das größte geschenk :-)love you
n light of the world situation now. This song is very appropriate. 2018
Love John. Amazing Singer. Come back and amaze us again John.
1:47. Is that Kate Ceberano pointing to Lisa and the bub?
Best vocalist of all time. My kids and their kids will know of John Farnhams immensely powerful and emotional voice, and the amazing songs he used it in.
Best singer in the world
Today I decided that I would listen to John once more, I haven't listened to John since he pushed me off the stage at Newtown Police Boys Club in the 1960s, just before he sang SHOUT. Well tomorrow I turn 65 and I must admit I like Johns singing but I hate him still after 54years. Go stick your head in a bucket John, you Bloody Dingo.
And that Ladies and Gentlemen, is why he is "The Voice"
ladies and gentlemen. this is "THE VOICE"
Killed It.... John is Legend
Keep singing John !! Never get tired of hearing that voice.Greetings from Budapest.
fuck he can sing
Gee, he sure fucked that classic up. Torturous
What a debt Australian music owes to the kids of Brit migrants who were unafraid to wear their heart on their sleeve when they sang. Before Farnham and Barnes & the rest, Aussie pop and rock songs were shallow and timid. This is a classic song in a classic rendition by one of our very best.
Wonderful singing and production, but half an octave lower would have allowed John to inject more emotional warmth in my humble view.
Coffs Harbour yewwww
Holy mother of christ. John is easily on of the best artist ever. Top 3 vocalist of all time.. damn.
OMG,...BRILLIANT!
Awwww this is the stuff of legends!!! Love u John , & Lisa x
John just kept getting better. The greatest popular singer this country ever produced .
How much shit does Johnn want to dribble before he sings a fucking note?
Agree - so relevant 10 years later
Arent we lucky to have John as our Icon
fuck all you haters.................................. this is bloody powerful
John Farnham is just ridiculous....fucking legend....who can sing a Jimmy Barnes song and compete with Jimmy?..Farnham that's who....did the same when he sang with LRB
One of the best Aussie performers I have ever seen
Jack, your '1' of the' Best. I live close to you hope to catch up 1 day, no need to sing Sady the Cleaning lady,wore out that 45 Fable label with No 1 ;) lol (y)
Great guy😉😊
John Farnham is Australia's best male vocalist of all time.
WOW.WOW...still blows me away..love it.
@paul cleary I loved Billy as well.
@Travis Carlson he still has an amazing voice.
@nurse0731 yesss he still does and hes 70 Years old and His voice sounds exactly the same as it did Back in the 80s ...Plus He uses no Falsetto or Auto Tune or Special effects to Make his Voice sound better no way He just Goes on Stage with a Microphone Himself and his Band Thats It No Fancy Amplifiers or Machines ....He has a Natural Singing Voice and i think thats why he Can still sing as Good at 70
this man has the best voice Australia has ever produced
Up there with, Billy Thorpe and Doug Parkinson, add Renee Geyer, Tina Arena & Judith Durham for Women.
war will never be over!
that guy in the crowd that picked it though. Good for him, what a champion
2087................
This song is not about war fought between soldiers. It is about the end of a relationship.
best voice ....simply outstanding
rob mckinlay amen
Here we are in 2016 on the verge of WW3:(
Yeah so are we. 2017.
lets hope not
2018 and WW3 has been happening for many years now. Small wars coordinated in many oppressed countries, orchestrated by first world countries to maintain their balance of power. So we sing for the Syrians, for those dying and starving in Africa, India, China, all over the world. We were comfortably turning a blind eye because it doesn't seem to be affecting us, but it does affect us in how the media portrays the people from these countries - so they can sustain our hatred and distrust, and thus they can justify killing while we stay in apathy. Apathy is the biggest killer in WW3.
amazing pipes on this guy
What a great personality he seems to have. I hope this is him off stage as well as in front of cameras and people. What a fun great guy. I could listen to him day and night.
This is John Farnham on and off stage. Worked with John for a few years
why was my brother concripted annd not you?
Was like a lottery system. Normie Rowe went.
yes, I think it was a lottery, 1 brother did not go and yet the other went
@Kathy Greer yep i remember seeing on TV.
It was a lottery based on date of birth.
RIP LJ Mac Lennan died in Vietnam 1971 aged 21. Buried Keilor Cemetery.
Tone Mac.
Lest we forget.
Was a shit and pointless war. Lest we Forget.
The Voice!!!! Enough said
YEAH JONNY
John's voice could end war easily
coffs harbour australia =p oi oi oi
the 1st minute..lol...his a funny fucker
he massacred this song There are just some songs that should be left alone and this is one of them. Chisel all day!
It was Prestwich's song and Farnham sang it when both were in LRB on "No Reins" in 86. I like Chisel but Farnham sings this better.
Get your ears tested, Mel.
Another brain dead chisel fan who is tone deaf. This is one of the greatest vocal performances of all time, your level of disrespect to a legend is disgraceful
This is a GREAT song, and great songs show they're great by being reinterpreted by different artists and still sounding great. Even Cold Chisel themselves reinterpreted the song in a wonderful slow tempo version:

😂😂😂 go home Mel. You're drunk
