and here are two other versions of this hit...
In 1994 Alastair Gavin and Sarah Jane appeared on the Maurizio Costanzo Show in Italy. They performed the first song they co-wrote, Cry. Sarah Jane describes it as
‘a song about the end of a long-term relationship with a mad painter, and because I was so honest with it, it was quite a complete song.
The song didn't see the light of day for a long time and eventually cropped up on the CD, Heaven.’
Sadly this CD is no longer available.
Recorded for the Sky Arts Channel when Dominic Miller and Sarah Jane were at the Hay Festival of Literature, this is a new song, You're Really Nowhere At All, which was recorded for the new CD, Where It Hurts, due for release in 2009.
and now the July, 2011 version live with Jimmy Summerville...
