Culture Club - Stand Down (Demo) Lyrics

Stand down, yeah

Stand down, ooh yeah, ooh yeah

Got to let it, ooh yeah

Gotta do it, yeah, yeah, oh yeah



Friends and lovers beware

'Cause there's something in the air

I feel it coming, I feel it coming

And I'm talking to you all

'Cause when that hammer starts to fall

There'll be no running, there'll be no running



But my people and your people

Must do the things they do, yeah

And my people are such sweet people

Don't worry, baby, won't get those hooks on you



Stand down, don't let them know your secret

(Stand)

Stand down, if you wanna live your life

(Stand)

Stand down, don't let them know your secret

(Stand)

Stand down, if you wanna live your life

(Stand)

Stand down, ooh yeah, stand down, yeah



It is written in the sky

There's no place for you and I

To keep on strumming, no strumming

In the message that we send

They're gonna tell us in the end

That we had it coming, we had it coming



But my people and your people

Must do the things they do, yeah

And my people are such sweet people

Don't worry, baby, won't get those hooks on you



Stand down, don't let 'em know your secret

(Stand)

Stand down if you wanna live your life

(Stand)

Stand down, don't let 'em know your secret

(Stand)

Stand down if you want, if you wanna live your life

(Stand)



If all the things that we possess

The most important is tenderness

Too cold when that wind blows today

And bitterness is the easy way



Stand down low

Stand down

Got to, got to need

You got to



But my people and your people

Must do the things they do, yeah

And my people are such sweet people

Don't worry, baby, won't get those hooks on you



Stand down, don't let 'em know your secret

(Stand)

Stand down if you wanna live your life

(Stand)

Stand down, don't let them know your secret

(Stand)

Stand down if you wanna live your life

(Stand)



Stand down

(Stand)

Stand down

(Stand)

Stand down
