I never had the pleasure of seeing this live because George dropped it from the set list. Knowing the meaning behind the lyrics I guess it was too emotionally draining for him to perform it live regularly. Everyone knew George was on a dangerous ride, the press made sure of that. But until his recent confession no one knew why. Kenny's addiction and demons were haunting them both. This was recorded just before George was taken ill last year ..... and before we knew much about Fadi!
Where I Hope You Are
For so long
There’s been no-one else I care about
That my heart could really be so wrong again
Well it wears me out
I had a picture in my soul
Some place warm we could hang out when we’re old
Now it’s just – where I hope you are
These days, in so many, so many ways
My life gets bad for you
But your face when you look at me, look at me that way
Tears me in two
I had a picture, it’s not your fault
But the chair in the room where I get old
Now it’s just – where I hope you are
Oh, but there was a time
All I had to do was look at you
The world was mine
I’m telling you the world was mine
I’m so sorry
It’s like all of those deleted scenes you told me about
I’d pick them from the floor
Say Darlin’, show them all once more. For me.
A child’s fears
For so many, so many years
The good life got bad for you
But there’s no-one at the end of that smoking gun
Can’t you see your Mum and Dad just won the day
But it can happen, I’ve been told
Sometimes, babe, drunken angels stumble home
Now it’s just where I hope you are
Oh, but there was a time
All I had to do was look at you
The world was mine
I’m telling you the world was mine
I’m so sorry
It’s like all of those deleted scenes you told me about
I’d pick them from the floor
Say Darlin’, show them all once more, for me.
For me.
For me.
For me.
For me.
I’m so sorry
