Lay Down Your Arms

Written by H. Nilsson; Sung by R. Starr; Backup Vocal: S. Nicks

Now see what you get
When you shoot so low
Once you see it's bad
You must say, "No, no"
When you cannot sleep
You must ask yourself what for?
See what it is
You can ask no more

Lay down your arms
Lay down your arms
And I will open mine
Lay down your arms
Lay down your arms
And I will open mine

Love is not a sin
Give in, give in
Love is not a sin
Give in, give in
Love is not a sin
Give in, give in
Give in to love

Lay down your arms
Lay down your arms
And I will open mine
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
And I can open mine
 
Lay down your arms
Lay down your arms
And I will open mine
Lay down your arms
Lay down your arms
And I will open mine

WEBMISTRESS speculates:

While I'm all for a tribute to Harry Nilsson, this song is not one of his best. It's kind of sing-songy, which can get a little irritating - especially when Ringo Starr, not known for his vocal talents, is the lead singer. I guess my rating for this is "tolerable."
