Jimmy Barnes (b. 1956) is an Australian rock singer.
Barnes was born James Dixon Swan on the 28th April 1956 in Glasgow, Scotland, and moved to Australia with his family when he was six years old.
He first came to public attention as the lead singer with popular Australian pub-rock band Cold Chisel, which he joined in 1973 and with whom he recorded seven albums between 1978 and 1983. When the band split up in 1983 he launched a solo career almost immediately; his first album, Bodyswerve, entered the Australian charts at number one.

VERSE 2 (same as verse 1 pattern)
Remember days we thought would last forever
Nothing better but we let them slip away
Cause in the end we make the bed we lie in

Never seems to make it better
If we can't get on together
Take a chance and try a brand new start

When we know that we ought to be loving
And the lying and the cheating
When we ought to be loving and squeezing
