James - Make For This City

Stand at the curbside and watch the world go by

In this town no one looks you in the eye

Where is the place not driven on by time?

Where's the city of dreams, a city made of light?

Where people laugh more than cry

Leave their doors open

Fall in love everyday

Brave hearts get broken

This city aims to love regardless of the bruise

We love and marry any sex or race we choose

Make for this city

Make for this city

On the underground, we all look so worn down

On the circle line forever going 'round

We love our children, not school down, open minds

We learn that happiness is the aim of life

Make for this city

Within our minds

Make for this city

City of light within our minds

Where's the connection to the heart of living?

Where's the connection to life?

The life we are living is unforgiving

Less like a flower than a knife

Where's the connection to heart living?

Where's the flower of life?

We aren't defined by our work and what we own

If you can find your way here, you've made it home

We love and marry any sex or race we choose

There's no one here who use their gods to exclude

Make for this city

Make for this city

Make for this city

Make for this city

Make for this city

Make for this city

James - Rabbit Hole

My life
Is just a fake
Put my fist right through these walls
If I concentrate

The paint is wet
But I forget
I keep drifting off
The floors can't take my weight

But my pen moves on, keeps writing
No mistake

What we have, we share all in together
Always come prepared whatever the weather
What we have, we share all in together
Always come prepared whatever the weather

I'm late, I'm always late
I'm somewhere else
Not here and now
In time and space

I'm lost on a map
Where the satellites won't track
In an altered state
Which leaves no trace

I'm late in time
And lost in space

What we have, we share all in together
Always come prepared whatever the weather
What we have, we share all in together
Always come prepared whatever the weather

Rabbit hole, rabbit hole
Rabbit hole
Rabbit hole, rabbit hole
Ooh, rabbit hole

Rabbit hole
Ooh, rabbit hole
Ooh, rabbit hole
Ooh, rabbit hole

Ooh, rabbit hole, rabbit hole
Rabbit hole, rabbit hole
Rabbit hole, rabbit hole

James - Lookaway

I pretend that I know where I'm going
I pretend I know where I came from
Or the fear will engulf me completely
I chose to waltz this bridge of sighs

Act my age in an age of indifference
I'm as big as I can dream
I forget in the truth of my nature
I forget to forgive, so I look away

Look away
Look away
Look away
Look away

Look away
Look away

I can't stop, so I carry on
I don't trust God is on my side
Indirect as the gaze of a geisha
I'm still that lost and lonely child

Look away
Look away
Look away
Look away

Look away
Look away

All mirrors shattered
Poor plastic clown
All that really matters
You weren't in the building when the walls came crashing down

All mirrors shattered
Poor plastic clown
All that really matters
You weren't in the building when the walls came crashing down

All mirrors shattered
Poor plastic clown
All that really matters

James - Tell her I said so

Here's to long life,
Here's to long life,
Here's to long life,
Here's to long life,
Here's to long life,
Here's to long life,
Here's to long life,
Here's to long life,

For the end i'm in a home,
All my friends have long since gone,
The staff are cold but rules are rules,
How can children be so cruel,
If i could leave i wouldn't stay,
Never thought id end this way,
Death is welcome while she waits,

Tell her i said so,
Tell her i said so,
Tell her i said so,
Tell her i said so,

At the window seasons change,
Here inside its all the same,
With the snow the birds have flown,
Tell her i said so,
Tell her i said so,
Tell her i said so,
Tell her i said so,

We all pray for longer life,
Longer life stuck in some home,
Homes a word cuts like a knife,
No-one chooses to grow old,
Put your mark upon my door,
I dont play here anymore,
This delay is just a bore

Tell her i said so,
Tell her i said so,
Tell her i said so,
Tell her i said so,
Tell her i said so,

Here's to life that's lived so long,

Here's to long life,
Here's to long life,
Here's to long life,
Here's to long life,
Here's to long life,
Here's to long life,

Here's to life that's lives too long.
