Kisses Are WeaponsAlannah Myles

Outside someone is cryin'
Ever since the world began
Someone's cheatin', someone's lyin'
Finally I understand

Kisses are weapons, so beautiful and sharp
Kisses are weapons, weapons of the heart
Kisses are weapons, ah, weapons of the heart

Outside someone is cryin'
Thought he had a heart of stone
And I'm out here in the dark
And I'm sighin' and you're out there all alone

Ah, kisses are weapons, weapons if we choose
Kisses are weapons whether we win or we lose
And oh, my love, my love, my enemy
Do you wanna take me in your arms tonight?
Do you wanna make love to me or do you wanna fight?

There are voices far beyond us
Their secret's ours to share
I can hear them lyin'
Broken on a battlefield

Kisses are weapons, so beautiful and sharp
Kisses are weapons, weapons of the heart

Ah, kisses are weapons, weapons if we choose
Kisses are weapons whether we win or we lose
And oh, my love, my love, my enemy
Do you wanna take me in your arms?
Do you wanna make love to me or do you wanna fight?
Oh yeah, do you wanna fight?

Kisses are weapons, so beautiful and sharp
Kisses are weapons, weapons of the heart

Ah, kisses are weapons, weapons if we choose
Kisses are weapons whether we win or we lose
And oh, my love, my love, my enemy
Do you wanna fight or make love to me?

Alannah Myles

When Alannah Myles played the role of a young aspiring singer on an episode of The Kids Of Degrassi Street, it was more than just an act. Less than a decade later, the daughter of Canadian Hall Of Fame Broadcaster William Douglas Byles would be a Grammy and Juno Award-winning singer best known for her 1990 international hit “Black Velvet”.

Myles (who changed her last name from Byles as a teen) began writing songs at nine and was participating in Toronto’s Kiwanis Music Festival at twelve. While gigging solo at nineteen across southern Ontario, songwriter/musician Christopher Ward invited her to form a rock and blues cover band with him. During this time Ward became MuchMusic’s first VJ.

Ward spent seven years trying to get Myles signed. He produced a three song demo for her, and her entertainment lawyer Stephen Stohn came up with the idea of making a ‘video demo’ of Myles singing “Just One Kiss”. This finally attracted Warner Music Canada in 1987. The demo was passed along to Warner’s US affiliate labels and Atlantic Records also took interest.
