His daughter redid this song last year.. amazing.. love this song.. sad too.. we still don’t have peace!!

He was so unique,he's a talent that will be greatly missed.Give us peace!

Unmistakable voice of Stuart Adamson, gone too soon. Rest in Peace Brother.

Who holds the money, who holds the need Who holds the strings of misery or the purse of greed And the gunmen reap while the gangsters sow And law is cheap when the smugglers go (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time While I have a life to live Then I have no life to give (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time In sun-kissed rooms in city slums Minds are restless till the airmail comes From the forest floor to the western mind Like a chat show topic on a party line And the hardest love of all is to forgive As the world comes tumbling down (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time While I have a life to live Then I have no life to give (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time Let all the rain come down on blind desire Like a thundercloud that holds a prairie fire I hear the blame and I see the cause A stronger voice and a stronger law But buyers buy and sellers sell Public consumption of a private hell (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time While I have a life to live Then I have no life to give (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time While I have a life to live Then I have no life to give (Give us peace) Give us peace in our time

Saw them back in the 80s. Brilliant live band. Fields Of Fire and Chance are 2 of my Top 10 of all time

Every Big Country song you hear seems better than the last - and it was awesome. I loved this song and album, they seemed so relevant to the time. Great song, great album, great band. Rest in Peace buddy...

i have loved big country since the beginning in 1982.i always will love them.this song apitimizes stuarts mentality.why waste life.good on ya stu,and rest in peace my friend.we all miss ya

This is band of the 80s is big country and they are the best band ever

"They" never learn, never have throughout history. Cold war over, but they find something else to fight over. And on it goes..

dont worry, we are the world stuart belive in, we believe in his music. greetings from a chilean fan

Stuart is sadly missed R.I.P (ROCK IN PARADISE) Big man 🙏

"While I have a life to live, then I have no live to give"!!...

Stuart-never be another like him!

Same here ... brilliant song.

Great video, the russian concert that the live footage is from is an awesome concert

Give us peace in our time! Brilliant!

Really good song!

Still a classic . Love it.

This song suddenly popped into my head. I haven't heard it since the time it was released and had no idea who sang it. I thought they sounded a bit like Big Country. Turns out it was Big Country

That's very true, its a shame they couldn't of helped Stuart. RIP Staurt

Stay alive what a song

Me and my Dad always say 'Give us peas with our Chips' when we are hungry!

utahwrx, many thanks for the archive. Stuart lives on and his message "Peace In Our Time" tolls out in our minds good to see it tolling forever on KZfaq, Stay Alive!

relevant now

Good point, but I was referring to the politicians, the power-mongers. I think many 'ordinary' people just want to live in peace.

Bellissimaaaaaa!!!

Yeah, one of the first (if not the first) Western bands to play in Russia, at that time. Good message in the song, would have made a good song for a Political campaign.

'mon the hoops!

i thin billy joel was the first westerner to play in russia

From the album that killed their career. You can tell when a British a band is creatively bereft, when they start wearing leather trousers, singing in American accents and bending strings.
