When The War Is Over & Way Down - Cold Chisel

This has to be one of the most covered songs in the country (Australia that is), the best cover being by John Farnham, but nothing beats the original by Cold Chisel. To make things different Jimmy Barnes is not the lead singer on this one, though he sings the last verse, Ian Moss sings most of this song. He also sings My Baby, Way Down, Rosaline and Bow River...

Anyway, listen to the lyrics of the song, they are quite nice, sad in a way too...

When The War Is Over

Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away

When the war is over
Got to get away
Pack my bag 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

You and I had our sights set
On something
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

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 glory
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

Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away

Ok this one is a live version of one of the other songs that I mention before, Way Down. They don't have a studio video clip of this one on youtube, so this is all I could get. I was taken from their Ringside Tour that I missed out on because I was 16, couldn't get there and couldn't afford tickets. I'm still filthy about that, anyway you guys don't care, so to the song...

Way Down

Somebody tell me
Where did I go wrong
Oh, what a fool am I
Sometimes
You can feel you don't belong
Wanna die

Way down
I've been all the way
And I know the reason why
Way down
Is the price I paid
Oh but now I realise

Somebody tell me
That you understand
Oh that I'm not alone
Sometimes
When you need a helpin' hand
Oh I know

Way down
I've been all the way
And I know the reason why
Way down
Is the price I paid
Oh but now I see a light
Way down

Way down
I've been all the way
And I know the reason why
Way down
Is the price I paid
Oh but now I realise

Way down
I've been all the way
And I know the reason why
Way down
Is the price I paid
I don't wanna go no more
Way down

Anyway I hope you like them, these 2 would have to be some of my favourite Cold Chisel songs, my favourite being Choirgirl which I don't remember posting so that's for next time.
