about

This song had been around in a few guises for a while and this version was recorded and never used on anything. The performances were rushed and under-rehearsed - I think everything was done in two takes maximum.

It still sounds pretty good, though, and the solo at the end is decent enough. Depressing lyric!

Recorded October 1995

lyrics

The love I lost was the only one
The only one I had
The only one I had that really knew me

How cruel it all seems now
The things we said to each other
How many times had we hit ourselves
To find how deeply we hurt

It’s cos I still love you
Even though you are gone
That I write these words for you
And sing this simple song

It hurts so much just loving you
That it makes me want to scream
It hurts so much just loving you
It hurts too much for me

I tried my very best to please you
Days in and nights out
I took you places you’d never been
Places you’d never seen

But all of this wasn’t up to much
And neither it seems was I
I know because you told me so
Told me the day you died

But for all you said
And all you’d done
Deep down you really must have loved me
Maybe I’m only kidding myself
But I hope that it’s the truth
