Kate Bush - James And The Cold Gun (Live in Sweden)

Kate performs "James And The Cold Gun" in Stockholm, Sweden during "The Tour of Life" in 1979.
Lyrics:
James, come on home.
You've been gone too long, baby.
We can't let our hero
Die alone.
We miss you day and night.
You left town to live by the rifle.
You left us to fight,
But it just ain't right to take away the light.
Remember Genie from the casino?
She's still a-waiting in that big brass bed.
The boys from your gang are knocking whisky back,
'Til they get out of hand and wish they were dead.
They're only lonely for the life that they led
With their old friend.
Ooh, James, are you selling your soul to a cold gun?
Selling your soul to a
Ooh, James, are you selling your soul to a cold gun?
Where lies your heart?
It's not there in the buckskin, baby.
It's not there in the gin
That makes you laugh long and loud.
You're a coward, James.
You're running away from humanity.
You're running away from reality.
It won't be funny when they rat-a-tat-tat you down.
Remember Genie from the casino?
She's still a-waiting in that big brass bed.
The boys from your gang are knocking whisky back,
'Til they get out of hand and wish they were dead.
They're only lonely for the life that they led
With their old friend.
Ooh, James, are you selling your soul to a cold gun?
Selling your soul to a
Ooh, James, are you selling your soul to a cold gun?

I can't believe I could've seen this live here in Sweden if I was alive back then, I'm so sad I wasn't. It's my favorite performance she's ever done!

I was there in front, will never forget, everybody was amazed.She had a cold though so the concert was shortened .

That's why she sings here worse than on Hammersmith version.

@louisfriendhastaste Alan Murphy.

IAmPlaysWithSquirrel Not on this one. Brian Bath who played it with Kate in the original KT Bush Band.

[@louisfriendhastaste]

who plays the solo?

[@bertisfogerty4353]

It was Alan Murphy, who later joined Level 42. Sadly died in 1989. One of the best and most underrated guitar solos ever!

[@DPSONGS]

No it wasn't... It was Brian Bath...
