I Hope I Never Lyrics
When you're here, I'm nowhere
I can't pretend that I'm not down
I show it I know it
I've been a fool - more than once, more than twice
I'm gonna move to a new town where the people are nice
I hope I never, I hope I never have to cry again
I still want to beam and smile yah
Happiness is back in style yeah
I hope I never, I hope I never have to see you again
Again, oh oh oh oh
To see you without stress
But I can see I'll have to go
I'm changing my address
My urge to cry I have failed to conceal
Life - it's no fun when your hunted by the things that you feel
I hope I never, I hope I never have to cry again
I'm for living while you can
I'm an optimistic man
I hope I never, I hope I never have to see you again
Again, oh oh oh oh...
I hope I never
I hope I never, never, never...
Nice one Timmy
I absolutely adore Annie Crummer's version of this song on ENZO. It has full orchestral backing and I find myself holding my breath when she sings it. It just lifts and swells and there's so much emotion captured in it. Tim's version is good too, but it doesn't move me as much.
@mahalia i know it's 13 years too late to have replied to this comment but Mahalia you are a traitor! The original version no matter from what song is always the best! Why? Because they thought of it first they wrote it first they produced it and played/sung it first! I Hope I Never is 100 times better on Split Enz True Colours album not who you said whoever Annie Crummer is... I hope I never have to read your comments again.

Tim Finn says that he doesn't remember how "I hope i never" came about, but he says it is very emotional. Tim says it may have started when he rang up Phil Judd because he just wanted to say hi, and Phil's wife answered, and Tim said "Hi, it's Tim, I just wanted to say hi," And Phil's wife said "I'll just get him" and i few minuted later, Phil's wife came back on the phone and said "He doesn't want to talk to you"
when I hear this on the radio I see red - I see red - I see red
