“…
Well I will bleed, I will bleed inside
When you speak, speak your mind
When you leave, leave it all behind

I could forgive
I've never given in
I could live
I've never been lived in
Lean on me
I will lose my balance
Lean on me
Lose a challenge

Leave, leave, speak, leave

“…If you leave, leave it all behind
Well I will bleed, I will bleed inside
And when you speak, will you speak your mind?
When you leave, leave it all behind

(When) I could forgive
I've never given in
I could live
I've never been lived in
(Oh) Lean on me
I will lose my balance
Lean on me…”

Lyrics: (Give) I could go
Pretend I'm gone
I could show
Strength I've never shown
(To) When I'm gone
Loneliness is all I feel
Left alone
Wondering

(You) I could go
Pretend I'm gone
I could show
Strength I've never shown
(So) When I'm gone
Loneliness is all I need
Left alone
Wondering…”

Album: LoveBUZZ by The Hummingbirds (1989)
10>1
9. If You Leave

Having 3 talented vocalists, the band alternated between Robyn & Alannah on lead - on haunting tracks like this one - and Simon up front. I loved the bands meditative songs more with time. Lyrics in comments.

Album: LoveBUZZ by The Hummingbirds (1989)
10>1
10 - Hollow Inside

The band’s Smiths-style track on the album; grows into a rockier track with the brilliant vocals of Alannah Russack & Robyn St. Clare interplaying w/ singer Simon Holmes.

#ComingSoon
LoveBuzz - The Hummingbirds debut album - a 90s Indie sound that hit big in 1989 in Aus - early tracks had Joy Division elements w/ REM style melody + B-52s like harmonies. Later 80s tracks were forerunners to Lemonheads, Smashing Pumpkins & jangly 90s pop.
