Crowesbase details that this song has been played 47 times live, on the low end for TBC, but a handful of times on the Warpaint tour! Otherwise, there are no notes on the song. So, for my own notes: I love the jamming, on the album version, at the end of the song. This gives it a live-like quality. And if there is one thing TBC does well, it's live. As for my favourite lyrics of the song, that's easy: "Do you remember when it started / You had a dream / Now you never talk about it." These lyrics seem so perfectly suited to Lions too . . . because I think that album really did get away from Rich and Chris' original dreams in making music. And, luckily, Warpaint is a return to those dreams. But I will keep Lay it All of Me. Along with the way Chris sings that exact line.
Come on down crooked man
Step on up broken man
Well its ok to cry troubled man
Just ease your worried mind and rest awhile
Do you remember when it started
You had a dream
Now you never talk about it
Your fame and riches were everything
No matter what the cost
Now you wish you hadn't blown it
Well lay it all on me
Lay it all on me
Come on down crooked man
Step on up broken man
Its ok to cry troubled man
Just ease your worried mind and rest awhile
I came to see how you were doing
Its been a while
Looking back over your shoulder
You were restless and you were wild
Always running away
Once was young now is older
Lay it all on me
Lay it all on me
So come on down crooked man
Step on up broken man
Well its ok to cry troubled man
Just ease your worried mind and rest awhile
Come on down baby
Ease your worried mind
Lay it on me
