Air Supply

Songwriter: Graham Russell

Producer: Peter Dawkins

Do what you do 'cos you do it so well
So stand in my way
If only I knew what these eyes could not tell
What this mouth could not say
People are wrong but I'm right this time
I'm losing bad friends fast
Do what you do and keep it that way
And this love will last

Do what you do when your lights are turned down
And you wake up afraid
Think of the love that I have here for you
And the wish will be made
Only a cut of the deepest kind
Could break what I hold for you
I know the cut will never be mine
So do what you do

Waiting to put a foot in the door
Hoping to learn what you're never sure
Don't look too far it's here where you are

Only a cut of the deepest kind
Could break what I hold for you
I know the cut will never be mine
So do what you do

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.
