We’re Going To Miss You

We’re Going To Miss You is track five on the 1999 James album Millionaires. A rerecorded version was released as a single in December.

It began life as If Anybody Hurts You and was debuted at Newport on the 1998 Winter Tour.

The lyrics are a spell against anyone wanting to do Tim harm, hence the hypnosis scene in the song’s video.

The single also includes a longer alternative “Eno’s Version”.

This is not, this is not, a song
This is a shield, this is a charm, with your name on
By this beat, by this verse, I'm protected
From your heat, and your curse, is reflected
If anybody hurts me
If anybody hurts me

Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone

Your green eyes, poison pen, serpent's tongue
Will return to the source that they came from
Revenge is the wine
Forgiveness is fine
Forgiveness divine
Revenge is more human

Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone

No words, all's been said and done
No more words, all's been said and done

Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
