About "2000 Light Years from Home"
From the original Rolling Stones Album "Their Satanic Majesties Request" (December 8, 1967)
Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, it also appeared as the B-side to the single "She's a Rainbow". Jagger reportedly wrote the lyrics in Brixton prison following his conviction on drug charges in June 1967. The working title of the instrumental backing was "Toffee Apple".
The number was regularly featured during the Rolling Stones' 1989-90 Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle Tours; until 1997, when "She's a Rainbow" was also added to the band's stage repertoire, it was the only track from Satanic Majesties that the band had performed in concert. [From Wikipedia]
