***Request - Light Years in Melbourne for Pam***

I’m not one to ever make requests and I’m not sure whether this will make its way to the band in time for Saturday’s show in Melbourne. 

But here goes:

I have two great mates attending the show on Sat night, Rick -  his very first PJ gig, the other, Aaron - introduced me to PJ back in 1995 just after Vitalogy came out, fair to say I’ll be eternally grateful! 

They lost their Mum (Pam) just two weeks ago after a long illness. She was tough, determined and like the band, she was a shining light to all those who crossed her path. Even in sickness she found a way to make you a better person. 
 
So on Saturday, I’d love PJ to play Light Years, not just for Pam, but for all those in crowd who have lost someone recently. Hopefully they’re all looking down in us during the show. 

RIP Pam. Love Brendan. ❤️

See you at the show. 🤘Oh, and if you wanted to end the show with Leash and Baba then I’m fine with that!

    Saturday in Melbourne! 🙏❤️⭐

    I've used hammers made out of wood
    I have played games with pieces and rules..
    I've deciphered tricks at the bar...
    But now you're gone,... I haven't figured out why...
    I've come up with riddles... and jokes about war...
    I've figured out numbers and what they're for...
    I've understood feelings.. and I've understood words...
    But how could you be taken away?...

    And wherever you've gone...and wherever we might go...
    It don't seem fair...today just disappeared...
    Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar...
    We were but stones,... your light made us stars

    With heavy breath,... awakened regrets...
    Back pages and days alone that could have been spent,
    Together... but we were... miles apart
    Every inch between us becomes light years now...
    No time to be void,... or save up on life...
    You got to spend it all.....

    And wherever you've gone... and wherever we might go...
    It don't seem fair...you seemed to like it here...
    Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar
    We were but stones,... your light made us stars

    And wherever you've gone... and wherever we might go...
    It don't seem fair...today just disappeared...
    Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar...
    We were but stones,... your light made us stars

    Lost for words! Just got home, it came a show late 😄, as Ed mentioned, but that doesn’t matter! Her grandson was actually at his first show tonight, special memories. Got nice and close up on Stone’s side tonight in front of the big screen and that’s all thanks to @gotthebottle and her (fixed 😄) generosity. ❤️👏😄🙏
