Stand Down - Culture Club

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
