Notes:

• The song was written by James about his mother, who was a Christian Scientist.
  Her beliefs dictated that her faith should heal her from cancer and she could not recieve
  any medical aid. She died, and the song is basically the God that failed to heal his mother...
  it says essentially "You promised to take care of her, where were you?"
• Because of the subject matter, it is undoubtedly an emotional song for James to sing.
• Before playing it live in 1994 & 1995 James would usually ask "We got a bit of fuckin heaviness for ya, are
  ya ready? Are ya fuckin sure?" or something similar
