James - Protect Me

Oh dear what can the matter be
Princess, dreaming again
Fearful, live life more easily
Darkness, leave her in peace

Always wanting help
Will make you weak
No such place has help
But in your dreams
Climb out of your well

Protect me
Protect me

Angel, what is possessing me
Feeling, making me weak
Falling under your spell again
Wanting, love's out of reach

Climb out of your well
It's not so deep
The price of living life
Is not so steep
No such place has help

Protect me
Protect me

Here they come again, here they come again, here they come again

Always wanting help
Will make you weak
The price of loving life
Does not come cheap
Climb out of your well

Protect me
Protect me

James - Seven

Blow me away
Was that love you declared
Only a word
Love can mean anything

I understand the world, we're living in

Oceans apart
What's that view from your wave
Beautiful craft
Weather and change

I understand the world, we're living in
Love can mean anything

God made love to me
Soothed away my gravity
Made me a pair of angel's wings
Clear vision and some magic things

God is love to me
Thank you for those things

I understand the world, we're living in
Love can mean anything

Darling, I'm open
Unguarded, unbroken

Now we've done our time
We can drift away
Like the heavy cloud
With the weight of rain

I understand the world, we're living in
Love can mean anything

I understand the world, we're living in
Love can change anything

I understand the world, we're living in
Love can mean anything

I understand the world, we're living in
Love can change anything

James - Next Lover

Who are you dreaming of now
Is she flesh real
Or is she part of 'dem memories
Who are you dreaming of now
Is she flesh real
Or bloodless fantasy
from a film heroine
There goes innocence fading away
Here comes bitterness after you pay
For believing in stories man made
Yes we all want to be your next lover
But we're scared so we're running you down
Yes we all want to be your next lover
But your beauty is too far above ground
From a film heroine
We will laugh at the worst of your jokes
Steal a kiss if we can
Buy you gifts and flowers
Every move is a plan
You can measure this man
By the depth of his laugh
You can measure this man
Yes we all want to be your next lover
Yes we all want to be your next lover
We are driven you can't feel
Are we stealing or are we the steal?
So we lie like a priest
To slide under and into and inside
love is cruel but looks seldom kind
Yes we all want to be your next lover
Yes we all want to be your next lover
I can lie like the best of them
Wait with the patience of man
Seems so understand it
While I'm makin' my plans
I'm so full of desire
I've forgotten your name
I'm so full of desire
I could burst into flames
I'm so full of desire
I can hope to control
This desires that's closer to pain
River runs where all rivers go
This desire will not be contained
Yes we all want to be your next lover
Yes we all want to be your next lover
Lover...
I love her
Lover
Who are you thinking of now
Is she flesh real
Or part of them memories

James - Ring The Bells

Ring ring the bells
Wake the town
Everyone is sleeping
Shout at the crowd
Wake them up
This anger's deeper than sleep

Got to keep awake to what is happening
I can't see a thing through my ambition,
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me

Break break the code
Concentrate
Let the doors swing open
See through all your walls
All your floors
Now you're in deeper than sleep

Got to keep awake to what is happening
I can't see a thing through my ambition,
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me

When you let me fall
Grew my own wings
Now I'm as tall as the sky
When you let me drown
Grew gills and fins
Now I'm as deep as the sea
When you let me die
My spirit's free
There's nothing challenging me

James - Mother

This war's a motherfucker
How many sons will we kill today
On fours little brother
Tell me what the view's like from the ground

Your love is a killer
Killing all this love in me
We are so full of terror
Vicious kiss your love is longing dee

Love, love, love will strike you down
Love, love

Where the anger is hot
Where opinion is deep
Understanding is shot is dead is dead is dead
Where the linen is cheap
Where the weapons are not
All the mothers will weep is dead is dead is dead

Will strike you down
Love, love, love will strike you down

We're drawn to a torture
I can't take it anymore
On fours little mother
Tell me what the view's like from the ground

Love, love, love will strike you down
Love, love, love will strike us down

James - Sound

Ape your father's sins, your mother's mood swings
To perfection
Fall into a spin, shed another skin
Strip away all your protection

Laugh at the wonder of it all
Laugh so loud you break the fall
And you see the gathering clouds
Cry at the sadness of the world
Cry so long you break its cold
And you hear the gathering sounds

Do everything you fear
In this there's power
Fear is not to be afraid of

Laugh at the wonder of it all
Laugh so loud you break your fall
And you hear the gathering sounds

Come, dip on in
Leave your bones, leave your skin
Leave your past, leave your craft
Leave your suffering heart
