Magnum was formed in Birmingham England in 1972 by guitarist Tony Clarkin
and vocalist Bob Catley.
I really enjoyed the time I spent writing with Tony. He was a quiet, humble man, and an excellent guitarist. We wrote two songs, but only one of them was included on the Goodnight LA album (1990). I must confess, I wasn't familiar with Magnum's music until I got a call from Graham Carpenter, an A&R man at PolyGram UK. Graham put me in touch with Magnum’s manager, Keith Baker. Keith and I compared schedules, booked some dates, and a few weeks later Tony flew over to Vancouver. He stayed four days, from October 30 to November 2, 1989. The difference with Tony was, he wasn't at all opposed to working with me. Some groups were dragged to my studio by their managers or record companies, kicking and screaming, not wanting to collaborate outside the band. But Tony was genuinely keen from the start, which was a nice change. |

| Lyrics: | I can read between the lines Understand what's on your mind There's a storm about to break and it just won't wait Stand up - hear me out Stand up - hear what I'm talkin' about I'm so confused - I can't choose What kind of love is this when I can't defend myself? What kind of love is this? Gotta look for help Now we're runnin' out of time And no matter how we try All the colours turn to black And we can't get back Stand up - hear me out Stand up - hear what I'm talkin' about Can't lose - and it's bad news What kind of love is this on a sea of emptiness? What kind of love is this when you live for yourself? Solo What kind of love is this when I can't defend myself? What kind of love is this? Gotta look for help What kind of love is this on a sea of emptiness? What kind of love is this when you live for yourself? |
