James - Gaudi

God's dead, this state is torture.

Find me shade and bring me water.

Holding on.

I'm thirsty for your sage.

Back at the ranch I just got slaughtered.

Too many shoulds, too many orders.

Better come out, holding onto faith.

Let the sun begin to shine through your night

Let the light reveal disguise in your life.

Work kills!

It's killing me slowly

And what is the point in being so lonely?

Who do you love?

Who do you love above all?

If you want to live some life gets slaughtered

But they'd sell their sons and daughters

Who do you love?

Who do you love above all?

How can we fail less we really want to

Under the drum of some local voodoo curse

We can change our fate

Let the sun begin to shine through you night

Let the light reveal disguise in your life

James - English Beefcake

I wish I could create myself
A cool machine designed to help
Not always hurting
Just plug me in and do the rounds
Impress your friends
Save yourself pounds
I'll not be wanting
I wish that things could be that way
But every dog must have its say
The orchestra's tuning
I understand your suffering
I felt the same sting in my heart
That's why I'm singing

Drifting away as lovers do
Heads you win and tails I lose
Nothing to say
much less to do
Unhappy me unhappy you

I know you want it all to end
Transform a love into a friend
Magicians can do
Gut feelings come
Gut feelings go
Like rivers we have no control
They just keep flowing
Yeah, I wish I could create myself
A cool machine or someone else
A lot less knowing

Drifting away as lovers do
Heads you win
And tails I lose
Nothing to say
Much less to do
Unhappy me
Unhappy you
Love can heal
And love can sting
Heads you lose
And tails I win
Unhappy me
Unhappy you
Nothing to say
And much less to do

There's nothing to say
I get in the way
Unable to break obsession
There's nothing to say
I get in the way
Still unable to break obsession

James - Alaskan Pipeline

You might as well surrender now
You'll never hold that stance
With all my words, I can't find one
To help you understand
It's not too late, take up the cup
Put down your weapons and choose

But you say life's so unfair
All you say is life's so unfair
Oh, you can ill afford to hold to these views
Oh, you need something to blame
But it's you, yes, it's you, it's your truth

Someone made you
I don't know if you're sick
I comfort, you runaway
My sympathy, you twist it
You're reflex, gets in the way

You mother me, I son you
You act up, I can't get through
These footsteps so ancient
In your eyes, I'm your infant

Your ancient full circle
In my eyes, you're my infant
Dead ball in our court
We've got a dead ball in our court

You just say life's so unfair
Yes, you just say, "Life's so unfair"
You need something to blame
But it's you, yes, it's you, it's your truth

James - Getting away with it (All messed up)

Are you aching for the blade
That's o.k.
Were insured
Are you aching for the grave
That's o.k.
Were insured

Were getting away with it
All messed up
Getting away with it
All messed up
That's the living

Daniel's saving Grace
She's out in deep water
Hope he's a good swimmer

Daniel plays his ace
Deep inside his temple
He knows how to surf her

Were getting away with it
All messed up
Getting away with it
All messed up
That's the living

Daniel drinks his weight
Drinks like Richard Burton
Dance like John Travolta, now.

Daniel's saving Grace
He was all but drowning
Now they live like dolphins

Getting away with it
All messed up
Getting away with it
All messed up
That's the living

Getting away with it
Getting away with it
Getting away with it
That's the living
That's the living
