When the Lights go Down - Triumph

Another wicked song by Canadian band Triumph, this song has some incredibly fantastic guitar work all throughout it from beginning to end, experimenting with different sounds and effects. When the guitar isn't soloing out, we are treated to a very driving rock beat with a strong riff, some awesome drumming, and Emmitts all too incredible vocal range. I love how this song begins and ends, with the acoustic type guitar. Triumph is quite often compared to Rush and this song is just another example of how hard they can rock.

Lay It On The Line - Triumph

This song just starts epically; I mean listen to it. Great guitar work, some slide bass and Rik Emmetts solid vocal deliverance. This was the first big hit for this Canadian band, off their 1979 album Just a Game. They were truly a rock trio, often compared to Rush, but really sells this band is Emmetts outstanding vocals. An outstanding song by a great Canadian band.

Lay It On the Line

It's the same old story all over again
You turn a lover into just another friend
I wanna love you i wanna make you mine
Won't you lay it on the line

I'm tired of playin' foolish games
I'm tired of all your lies makin' me insane
I don't ask for much truth will do just fine
Won't you lay it on the line

Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Don't waste my time

You got no right to make me wait
Better talk girl before it gets too late
I never ever thought you could be so unkind
Won't you lay it on the line

Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Don't waste my time

You know i love you you know it's true
It's up to you girl now what have i got to do
Don't hold me up girl don't waste my precious time
Won't you lay it on the line

Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line

Don't hold me up girl
Lay it on the line
Yeah yeah
Lay it on the line

Lay it on the line girl
Lay it on the line
Oh don't hold me up girl
Lay it on the line

Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
