Lillian Axe is a hard rock band from New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, best known for its major label albums, Lillian Axe, Love + War, Poetic Justice and "Psychoschizophrenia". Originally formed in 1983, the group is still active, though only the guitarist Steve Blaze remains from the original line-up.
The classic line-up came together when former Stiff members, Ron Taylor (lead vocals) and Jon Ster (rhythm guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), teamed up with Lillian Axe members Steve Blaze (lead guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), Rob Stratton (bass guitar, and Danny King (drums) in 1987. The band caught the attention of Ratt's management which led to a record deal with MCA and Ratt's Robbin Crosby producing the band's first album, Lillian Axe. However, neither this nor the 1989 follow-up, Love + War, produced by Tony Platt, met commercial expectations and the group was quickly dropped. A compilation of both MCA albums, (1987-1989) Out of the Darkness - Into the Light, was released in 1991.
Nobody knows when there's clouds in the skies
When there are tears in your eyes
Nobody knows when you're hurting so bad
So what if they had?
Far away, where the hills turn to plains
I sit and I wonder where you are
I dream at night of the memories that we share
I feel your touch, I see your stare
Chorus:
Nobody knows when you're down and out
Nobody cares what it's all about
When it comes to you, babe
You know I'll always be there
It just seems,
Nobody knows when you're down and out
Silent words, a whispered song
Will you still love me when I'm gone?
Now, nobody knows what really matters
Only fools who don't belong
Chorus
â€Â¦In my dreams, it never seems that
Nobody knows
Solo
