Lillian Axe - Love + War lyrics



Tracks



01. All's Fair in Love and War

I'm not the kind of man
Who lets a woman tell me
Just what I can and cannot do.

She came prepared for battle
And all I had to say was
"I'd like to spend some time with you."

[Bridge:]
Comin' on shy but I don't know why
Sure knows what to do
Bitch gonna stab you in the back
While she makes love to you

[Chorus:]
All's Fair in Love and War
So what are we fighting for
All's Fair in Love and War

No one to blame but yourself
There's no more lies left to tell
You know I've heard that song before

Now you're too scared to face me
Afraid of what you may see
How all is fair in love and war.

[Bridge - chorus - solo]

And when the battle's over
You'll find another love
I'll be another casualty.

[Bridge - chorus]
[Repeat]

02. She Likes it on Top

So you feel a little lonely girl
Well you know you're used to that one
Now the taste of sweet success
Is on your lips, you always want some

Picture perfect innocence
Behind a guard that she can't drop
She's been around the world
Now she's back on the top

[Chorus:]
She wants everything put in her lap
Yeah she likes it on top
She's in the right place

Though all along you knew it was wrong
The taste of blood got to ya

Now everyone who's on your list
You know they gotta do something for ya

Not a care at her expense
She'll pay the piper when he stops
She's been around the world
Now she's back on the top

[Chorus]

She cries herself to sleep at night
It's not all it's cracked up to be
She Can't See, Yeah

She's a little lonely
Gets her kicks on top of the world

[Solo]

Picture Perfect Innocence
She'll pay the piper when he stops
She's been around the world
Now she's back on the top

[Chorus]

03. Diana

Come with me my sweet Diana
I'll show you things you've never seen before
All your life you were upon a pedestal
Now it's time you get down on the floor

She's the girl I want my sweet Diana
She's got a lot of questions on her mind
She needs to know why everyday
It seems like everyone is so unkind, why, why, why

She always runs away my sweet Diana
Go into a place she knows quite well
She'll find escape in the Garden of Eden
Before too long she'll realize she's in hell

She's the girl I want my sweet Diana
She's got a lot of questions on her mind
She needs to know why everyday
It seems like everyone is so unkind, why, why, why

Come with me my sweet Diana
I'll give you love you never had before
Come with me my sweet Diana
I'll be your love forevermore

[Solo]

She needs to know why everyday
It seems like everyone is so unkind, why, why, why

Come with me my sweet Diana
I'll give you love you never had before
Come with me my sweet Diana
I'll be your love forevermore

Come with me my sweet Diana, (Come on, come on with me)
Come with me my sweet Diana (Take my hand by me, yeah)
Come with me my sweet Diana (I'll be your love)
I'll be your love forevermore

Come with me my sweet Diana
[Repeat]

04. Down On You

(Whoa!)

It's the same old aggrevation
Undercover love is still a sin (That's right)
I just can't deal with complication
I'm givin' up I'm givin' in

You slipped right through my fingertips
You're just too hard to please

[Chorus:]
I'm rainin' down on you
Down on the pain that you put me through
Been up and down with you
Down on the love that I thought so true

Oh, it's an impossible situation
Been pushed every way but your direction (No, no)

You stuck a knife in my achin' heart
Then left me here to bleed

[Chorus]

Down, down, down on you
Down, down, down, down on you

[Solo]

(Aw, I've had enough of this)
Ow!

You slipped right through my fingertips
Was I too hard to please?

[Chorus]

Down, down, down on you
Down, down, down, down on you
Down, down, down on you
Down, down, down, down on you

05. The World Stopped Turning

I watched you bathing in the moonlight
I heard you crying in the wind
Oh, every day is just another symphony
Of angels singing praises in your name
Look up, can't you hear them calling

It wasn't very long ago
That you and I believed in the same things
And now it seems, you've put our love behind you
And turned away before you understood
You can run, but you can't hide

[Chorus:]
Can't you see I'm falling down
Thanks to things I never knew
Don't you know I'm tryin' hard
To take this love from you

Oh, the skies are falling
And the seas are drying
Oh, oh, can it be?
The world stopped turning on me

Well, I see you still but that's just fantasy
I hear you call to someone else
Oh, gazing at a distant cold reflection
And crystal lakes of tears I cried for you
Trying to keep this hope alive

[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus]
[Repeat]

06. Ghost of Winter

As I lie awake
All the memories of my life
Seem to come and fade
Wakes me in the dead of night
Am I slipping away?
Is my memory leaving me?
When it's cold and dark,
Ghost of winter comes to me

Look at me
I'm eternal thought
It's a shame but we must part
It's just a dream
It's just a dream

Dreams that seem so real
Granny tells me it's o.k.
Won't you cry to sleep
You'll wake up to a brand new day

Tears to wake the dead
Tell them it's not all in vain
Since the dawn of man
Think how many felt the rain

It's far from what you know
But now I have to go
It's just a dream
It's just a dream

In the world, darkness follows me
Hiding out, in places I can't fee
I'll tell you one thing
I'll never change my ways
Fly high
I can't distinguish reality from dreams
Ghost of winter, won't you hear my silent scream?

Ghost of winter, won't you hear my silent scream?
Ghost of winter, return me to my dream
Repeat

You've showed me one thing
I've never, ever seen
So take me back there
I've got to have my dream

Oh, Ghost of Winter
Hear my silent scream
Fly high

07. My Number (Girl Cover)

What you see is what you get
The flavour stays the same.
(Hey you, over here)
(Lemme give you my number, Shh)

Ok!

You can offer assistance
You can even steal my car
Why, you can give me some distance
I bet you couldn't get far

And I could show you to my mother
You're just my mama's kind (Mama's kind)
Mama this girl's my lover
She's really one of a kind a kind (A kind)

Well, you could sit here
Make me happy never sad
I wouldn't mind if you don't mind feelin' bad
Too bad

Why, you could play my trusty organ
Or we could make it on the floor (On the floor)
Some bitches say I ignore them
That doesn't matter for sure (For sure)

And I won't write you foolish love songs
But you can bring me to your bed (To your bed)
Saw the good comes outta two wrongs
Hey girl I mean what I say I said (I said)

My eyes are tired
My back is stiff from what you done
It doesn't matter to me
I'm havin' lots of fun

[Solo]

You offered me no assistance
You couldn't even steal my car (My car)
And what about that distance
I said you wouldn't get far

Now I won't show you to my mother
You're not my mama's kind (Mama's kind)
Mama this girl's my lover
She loves to 69 all night (Whew!)

Why, you could sit here
Make me happy never sad
I wouldn't mind if you don't mind feelin' bad

Ahh

08. Show a Little Love

You can't ride upon the wings
Of all your broken dreams
Someday you've got to give it up

In between the lines you'll see
I'm giving you a sign
Your attitude is just too tough

You don't know what I want all night
Why don't you make your dreams come true
I'll show you how
Here's what you do

[Chorus:]
Show a little love
Give a little love
All I want from you is one thing
Show your love to me

Look up to the skies
I see desire in your eyes
But you can't keep it in your heart
Let's take the night and
Then we'll sleep by candle light
While flames of love are burning
In the dark.

You tell me you love me, oh no
Now I can't tell the lies from truth
So prove me wrong
Here's what you can do

[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus]

09. Fool's Paradise

You say your happy, with your ways
But anyone who's ever known you knows that you've seen better days
So here's a lesson, to be learned
In a mirror, disillusioned, images you cannot turn

In a Fools Paradise
Will you ever realize
In a Fools Paradise
Oh...Oh

Another step in, the wrong direction
Never to return again, misery can be your friend
In your wasted dreams, nothings what it seems
Take a look at what you've done, cowards only shoot and run

In a Fools Paradise
Will you ever realize
In a Fools Paradise
It's all gonna come to an end

You think you're happy, maybe just too high
All you love's been lost in dreams and don't you ever wonder why
Tomorrow's history, anyway do you care
You can run forever but your getting nowhere

In a Fools Paradise
Will you ever realize
In a Fools Paradise
Oh ... Oh
In a Fools Paradise
Will you ever open your eyes
In a Fools Paradise
It's all gonna come to an end

10. Letters in the Rain

As I looked into the stormy night
The scheme of all things came to be
The fire weapon started burning
Your cheating ways I came to see

Cause when the moonlight hit the water
I've had your sweet lips on my brain
Then I found the truth in writing
I read your Letters In The Rain
In the rain

Now I spend my nights in firelight
I look into the flames for hope
The rain it brings back all the memories
Then in the winter turns to snow

Cause when the moonlight hit the water
I've had your sweet lips on my brain
Then I found the truth in writing
I read your Letters In The Rain
In the rain

[solo]

Now you come back with this story
Of how you made a big mistake
Do you expect me to believe you
Too bad I won't give you a break
Not this time

Cause when the moonlight hit the water
I've had your sweet lips on my brain
Then I found the truth in writing
I read your Letters In The Rain
In the rain In the rain In the rain
