美國紅髮歌姬［貝琳達．卡萊兒］──流行搖滾──［Lay Down Your Arms／放下你的武器］

Your words how they cut so deep
I can hear you in my sleep
Lying here, wishing here, wishing here, waiting

You forget I know your tender spots
But Ill be careful with your heart
Im the one loving you
So come on and love me

Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
Why do you want to go and shoot love to the ground
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down down
Lay with me, lay with me

Sometimes I can be so cold
I let you in but I dont let go
Pulling you, pushing you, pushing you, pulling

Dont want to tear our love apart
Can we find each other in the dark?
Can we start living here?
Can we start giving?

Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
Why do you want to go and shoot love to the ground
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down down
Lay with me, lay with me

So, we are in love
So, we are at war
But we can be on the same side

Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
Why do you want to go and shoot love to the ground
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down down
Lay with me, lay with me

Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
(Lay down your arms)

１９９３年秋天　３５歲的美國紅髮歌姬貝琳達．卡萊兒（Belinda Carlisle）發行第五張大碟〔Real／真實〕（Virgin唱片）

製作群包括Charlotte Caffey，Thomas Caffey，Ralph Schuckett與貝琳達．　

專輯有一半歌曲由卡萊兒共同創作。

這是貝琳達第二張Rick Nowels沒有擔任任何創作或製作的專輯，

也是卡萊兒首張參與製作的大碟。

專輯封面與之前呈現迷人的外觀不同，這次貝琳達選擇牛仔褲和T恤的素顏造型。

〔Real〕處理了卡萊兒所說的“關係的陰暗面”，內容成熟，且沒有像她之前專輯的流暢光滑製作。

大碟獲得普片好評，認為貝琳達願意冒險嘗試一些更前衛的材料。

〔Real〕登上英國榜＃９　

瑞典＃２３　日本＃２６　

歐洲榜＃２０

銷售明顯低於前四張大碟．

首支單曲［Big Scary Animal／大怪獸］登上英國榜＃１２

１９９３年１１月，貝琳達推出第二主打［Lay Down Your Arms／放下你的武器］

這是翻唱女子樂團The Graces （卡萊兒前同事Charlotte Caffey組成）１９８９年歌曲（US#56）

由Charlotte Caffey，Ellen Shipley，Ralph Schuckett創作

Ralph Schuckett製作成一首流行搖滾, 編曲有力, 卡萊兒激昂有渲染力

［Lay Down Your Arms／放下你的武器］登上英國榜＃２７

MV以西部默片風格拍攝.
