For all those spirit childern who came in here in the name of love
Into this world with its bottom line of flesh and blood,
For all those women beaten in the name of love
Yes and for those who struck the blows,
Mother, father
Sister, brother
Friend and foe
And the lovers of course
Like this kid , he's walking on down the street one day,
When he sees his love shes just rolling by
But in the arms of another now she's riding high,
He tries so hard just to be a little macho cool,
Yeah, but he's a wounded fool,
& blood's running down his side
Aw, the blade he cried
Its quicker than the eye
Switchblades of love
Switchblades of love
They're not coming from no god above,
Coming out of our broken heart,
Maybe they'll tear some old myths apart,
The switchblades of love
Me, I think I'm gonna go out here and put my switchblades down way on down in the ground
No applause, there won't be a sound,
Just a rusty spade down in that honest earth
I will bow down to the stars I'll ask forgiveness for the scars,
That I have made
In the name of love
Switchblades of love,
Switchblades of love
They're not coming from no god above,
They're coming out of our darkest heart,
And they're tearing us apart the switchblades of love
Into this world with its bottom line of flesh and blood,
For all those women beaten in the name of love
Yes and for those who struck the blows,
Mother, father
Sister, brother
Friend and foe
And the lovers of course
Like this kid , he's walking on down the street one day,
When he sees his love shes just rolling by
But in the arms of another now she's riding high,
He tries so hard just to be a little macho cool,
Yeah, but he's a wounded fool,
& blood's running down his side
Aw, the blade he cried
Its quicker than the eye
Switchblades of love
Switchblades of love
They're not coming from no god above,
Coming out of our broken heart,
Maybe they'll tear some old myths apart,
The switchblades of love
Me, I think I'm gonna go out here and put my switchblades down way on down in the ground
No applause, there won't be a sound,
Just a rusty spade down in that honest earth
I will bow down to the stars I'll ask forgiveness for the scars,
That I have made
In the name of love
Switchblades of love,
Switchblades of love
They're not coming from no god above,
They're coming out of our darkest heart,
And they're tearing us apart the switchblades of love

Sounds like something you would expect to hear as background music on a low budget Steven Seagal movie.
My first time to hear this artist and like what I hear. Kind of surprised by the low RP listener rating.
You should follow this one with Brian Adams, "Cuts Like a Knife." 
I rate it outstanding, guy is damn good imo : )

No thanks!
Well, it is sad to lose yet another great artist. So many this year, but that's life.
On another note, at work today (Sunday) trying to push out yet another set of drawings. Custodians are in making a ruckus and disrupting my solitude. This song totally saved my day. Thanks Steve!
