Air Supply

Songwriter: Graham Russell

Producer: Charles Fisher

When all else fails and you have nothing
You know you really should believe in something
Take a look at what you have
To a dream that's not all that bad
Don't waste time with all your thinking
Wake up now your dreams are sinking
Making the change is up to you
You'll accept nothing less than the best

(Chorus)
Come, come, come on
Bring out the magic
Come, come, come on
Bring out the magic

It's much quicker than the eye
It's your mind and it's there all the time
Say good-bye this is tomorrow
Make your mind up not to follow

You can lead yourself away
Understand, you can have what you say

(Chorus)
You can lead yourself away
Understand, you can have what you say

You can stay with me now
And tell me what you know
You can stay with me now
And tell me all you know

(Chorus)
You can lead yourself away
Understand, you can have what you say

(Chorus to fade)

Air Supply are a soft rock duo formed in 1975. From 1980-1985 the band had a string of hits that charted well in the US, Canada, New Zealand and their homeland Australia.

After Graham Russell’s music was ignored by bandmates in two previous bands, he auditioned for and won a part as a chorus member in a Melbourne production of Jesus Christ Superstar. This is where he met and teamed up with Russell Hitchcock, who had missed the JCS auditions in Sydney – so he flew to Melbourne and landed a spot in the same chorus.

The two submitted a demo of two songs – “Love And Other Bruises” and “If You Knew Me” to CBS Records and got signed. The former went to #3 in Australia, so they assembled session musicians, released their self-titled debut album, and toured Australia.
