James - Walk Like You

You know more than you think you know,
This universe is in your eyes,
Inside the galaxies collide.

Which parent told you that you're slow?
My absent dad, my mum's control,
Schooled me to be a worker drone.

So this is it,
A life on earth,
We're made of stars,
We're made of dirt,
Unconsciousness,
We disconnect,
Tone deaf to calling.

We learn to walk like you,
Talk like you,
Oo-be-do,
Think like you, Whine like you,
Love like you in pieces.

You know more than you think you know,
Your DNA is pulsed by stars,
Reveal the cogs that wheel the show.

So this is it,
A universe of birth and death,
Love and neglect,
But we forget,
Dad's off on tour or in a meeting.

We will not walk like you,
Talk like you,
Oo-be-do,
Fight like you,
Screwed like you,
Break like you,
In pieces.

God knows I know no better
Easy to say that I can talk
I can talk
God knows I know no better
Easy to say that I can talk
(I can talk, I can talk, I can talk)
I can talk
(I can talk, I can talk, I can talk)
I can talk
(I can talk, I can talk, I can talk)

Welcome to our coming of age
To embrace all that we've become
Bored with your stories of pain
Shoot yourself with a ricochet
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know me
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know me

Let's inspire, let's inflame, create awe from our pain
Find a love that's as deep as it's holy
Let's inspire, let's inflame, create gods from our pain
Find a love that's as sweet as it's holy
Let's inspire, let's inflame, create dreams from our pain
Find a love that's as plain as it's holy
Let's inspire, let's inflame, create songs from our shame
Find a love that won't fade, love is holy

But I can talk
(I can talk, I can talk, I can talk)
I can talk
(I can talk, I can talk, I can talk)
I can talk
(I can talk, I can talk, I can talk)
I can talk
(I can talk, I can talk, I can talk)

James - Curse Curse

In my hotel room
Sounds from next door
Someone's getting laid
God's name's proclaimed
The end is on its way
Turned on ashamed
I turn up the TV
Copa Del Rey
Messi shoots and scores
A hundred thousand came

No rain for days
I'm easily ignited
I think too much
Don't get me started

Pour me more tequila
Raise the flames to fever
Some spirit draws me out
Praise the lord and kiss me on the mouth
Two shots more tequila
Raise the flames to fever
Some spirit draws me out
Praise the lord and kiss me on the mouth

Alone in my bedroom
Alone in my bedroom
I prowl the walls
Create shadows

I'm crazy as a wasp
On a window in a heatwave
I see the light
But something's in my way

I'm just a profiteer
Running out of luck
Gunning on desire
Curse curse curse curse
I'm just a hack in fear
That I'm not good enough
Gunning on desire
Curse curse curse curse

Time to wake, time to wake the floorboards
Time to ride, time to ride the dark horse
Time to shake, time to shake up the neighbours

Pour me more tequila
Raise the flames to fever
Some spirit draws me out
Praise the lord and kiss me on the mouth
Two shots more tequila
Raise the flames to fever
Some spirit draws me out
Praise the lord and kiss me on the mouth

Alone in my bedroom
Alone in my bedroom
I prowl the walls
Create shadows

James - All I’m Saying

I'm dreaming of you
You are free of all the pain
You kept from me
Your gaze is strong

I'm dreaming of you
With those black brown eyes
That seem to see
Right through me
Your wise half smile

I'm talking to no one
I'm talking to no one
No one but you
You who've moved on

I'm talking to no one
I'm talking to no one
No one but you
Now the raven has gone

Ride a wave, ride a wave from our birth to the grave
Ride a wave, ride a wave from our birth to the grave
Hard to trust, hard to trust to change
Ride a wave, ride a wave from our birth to the grave
Ride a wave, ride a wave from our birth to the grave
Hard to trust, hard to trust to change

I'm talking to no one
I'm talking to no one
No one but you
Now the raven has gone
I'm missing you
And your laugh that opened all the worlds to view
We never said goodbye
I'm dreaming of you
In a multiverse of meaning
Fractal shards
From a distant star

Ride a wave, ride a wave from our birth to the grave
Ride a wave, ride a wave from our birth to the grave
Hard to trust, hard to trust to change

All I'm saying, all I'm saying, all I'm saying, all I'm saying
I'm missing you

Holding a seance
Speak with the dead tonight
All I'm saying, all I'm saying, all I'm saying
Holding a seance
Meet you in dreams tonight
All I'm saying, all I'm saying, all I'm saying, all I'm saying

I'm missing you and all the worlds you opened up to view
I love you
See you next time

James - Interrogation

Who do I blame
Impale
When I have nailed someone
Nailed someone for crimes
I harbour in my mind
My self-righteous mind
When I have raised my colours
Raised my colours high
These chains I've forged
Sinking like a stone
Sunk to depths
Interrogation
All I judge
I have become
Interrogation
Of my own

Let the records show
Liars, lies and self-deceit
Liars, lies and self-deceit
Digging a hole, digging a hole, hole
Liars, lies and self-deceit
Liars, lies and self-deceit
Digging a hole, digging a hole

Scrape the blade
Under my jaw
Where I have caught myself before
This blade repeats mistakes
Tiny lies
Where I have nicked myself
The lies drain out the light

Holes
Liars, lies and self-deceit
Liars, lies and self-deceit
Digging a hole, digging a hole, hole
Liars, lies and self-deceit
Liars, lies and self-deceit
Digging a hole, digging a hole
