Video Info:
-Directed by Jake Scott + filmed in Dec. '93 in LosAngeles. The video starts with a small wooden man
swinging. As the music starts it shows close-ups of
the band singing and playing. These shots are
over the backdrop of the roofs of old houses. It
also includes shots and old man in a tunnel and an
angry little boy. The only time there is color in the
video is during the scenes with the little boy and
the scene of the old man before you see his tears.
-During Muchmusic's Intimate and Interactive, Billy
said that he battled to not have the old man scene
in the video. He said that he kept on telling the
director "it's a cliche". The band also joked that the
old man was James' gardener.
Song Secrets:
-At very end, you can hear opera singers (turn it up very loud).
-"After listening to "Disarm" over and over again,
I noticed a faint scream at 3:04 in the song"

Disarm you with a smile
And cut you like you want me to
Cut that little child
Inside of me and such a part of you
Ooh, the years burn
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my choice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you
Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who's left alone
Ooh, the years burn
Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my voice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
And cut you like you want me to
Cut that little child
Inside of me and such a part of you
Ooh, the years burn
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my choice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you
Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who's left alone
Ooh, the years burn
Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my voice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
