| Just been listening to the great live version of 'I'm Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us' from Birmingham 1988 (thanks Puritan). Favourite part is the answer BV's towards the end: 'I'm gonna love her for both of us (I'm gonna give her everything you always wanted to give) I'm gonna love her for both of us (I'm gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live)' ...which is almost identical in arrangement to two other favourite parts: 'Faster than the speed of night (I don't want let another minute get by) Faster than the speed of night (it's slipping through our fingers but we're ready to fly) Faster than the speed of night (I don't want let another minute get by) Faster than the speed of night (love is gonna get us while the moon is in the sky) Faster than the speed of night (I don't want let another minute get by)' '(read 'em and weep) For all the hours we'll be spending alone (read 'em and weep) For the dreams we ignore (running silent and deep) And all those promises we promised to keep, they won't be kept anymore (read 'em and weep) For the magic that our bodies had made (read 'em and weep) For the blood that we've lost (running silent and deep) And all those secrets that we somehow betrayed, for whatever the cost (read 'em and weep) For the memories still alive in the bed (read 'em and weep) For the lies we believed (running silent and deep)' In the first two Jim has the lead vocal singing the title, but in the third, has the BV's sing the title; very clever! Jim should do more of these! BTW - 'Love will always get us while the moon is in the sky' & 'I'm gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live' are great lines! | |
