who the hell is James?
oh, giant peach.

You walked into the room
And the whole place stopped to notice
Standing next to you, I feel hopeless and you know this
I've never been ashamed of my attraction
I'd be happy if you gave me just a fraction
As we danced, I could see in your eyes
You and me as senior citizens in love
I followed your perfume out away from all the rabble
Right up to your room for a drink and travel Scrabble
You, stationed in the warm glow of the t.v.
Too patient as I'm playing L(1)O(1)V(4)E(1)
And we laugh...and we laugh...and we laugh
And we have to or we'll end up in the bath
Now we're in the bath, I'm already thinking marriage
I know that in the past it was something I'd disparage
You turned down all the lights, I lit the candles
We rolled around in robes and hotel sandals
Then you slept, and I dressed, and I left
And I guess I'll see you Monday like before
Before all the fireworks exploded
Our conversations were so loaded, innuendo flying
Now what can we say
Have a nice day
Looks like rain today...
Now I'm in a cab, heading back to my apartment
Everything is drab, and I wish it never started
Now I've landed in this awkward situation
How can I just avoid a conversation
So I wait, come in late. It'd be great
If you transferred out of state

(V. Peterson)Susanna
I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot on the train
And I must be a masochist
To ever take up with you, James
It sounds familiar
That tone in your voice
You're gonna quit, James
You leave me no choice
Oh, James
Letting me down again, James
Well, it wasn't so long ago
I saw love in your eyes
And I think I should've known
But I'm feeling somewhat surprised
You think there's someone
Better for you
You think I'm too young
To see this thing throughOh, James
Letting me down again, James.
(Oh, let me down) down, down
(Oh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Oh, let me down) down, down
(Oh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Oh, let me down) down
I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot out the door
And I don't think I should trust
That kind of love anymore
And now I realize I had it all wrong
I'll only take this shit for so long
Woh, James
Letting me down again, James
Guess this is goodbye again, James
Letting me down again
Letting me down again, James

You said, "Young man, don't rely on a sword.
Cause your words will outlive even time."
I've counted my blessings.
The rest are for you.
Please listen close for awhile,
And breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?
I've heard about heaven for years.
Can't be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
I'm fine with you here.
I made the mistake once of fearing an end.
Is this life that we live just the world's accident?
Not a chance, so I move on with a smile.
Are you surprised where you are?
So breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?
I've heard about heaven for years.
Can't be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
I'm fine with you here.
I grew up slow on the heels of the rest.
Left my heart back at home, carried you in my chest.
And I don't feel like crying today.
Why can't we talk for awhile?
And breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?
I've heard about heaven for years.
Can't be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
I'm fine with you here.
You said, "Son, just listen to me."
But I'm doing fine, James.
So you can sit back and just breathe.
And it's time now to let yourself go.
Hold us close, spin the dream, the curtain will fall but behind it
I see that you're here.

(Carly Simon/Mike Mainieri)
James,
Your voice is like the water
When I lift this shell to my ear
I can hear you pourin' out your heart to me
James,
The beauty of your voice
Lifts us from sadness
James,
Let us become like water together
Sing to me
Sit on the edge of my bed as when we
First spent nights together
Your body wrapped around your guitar
Let the music speak for your heart
Let them combine like water and sand
Let them meet the air like drops of rain

James!
Look out for the boy next door
Come knock-knock-knocking
The ceiling to the floor
James!
I've told you life can be deluxe
Every which way
Looks like trouble but
You've got to let him go
James!
C'mon hold your horses
The first kid under your nose
Ain't a sure thing
James! I told you
Life was made of luck
But a deal's better made
The second time it's cut
You've got to let him go
But he's one wall away
These walls so thin!
James!
They call it a waiting game and
Boy, you will wait in vain
The first one you see
Might make you change
But a straight boy, James
Gonna always shoot the same
You've got to let him go
Love at first sight it may be
But first love on sight

Kneel down
Close your eyes
Hit the ground
I want you to, to kneel all day
Alone in this desolate cave
So I said
Scream if you want to
Cause no one is around
I want you to
To scream all day
Cause there's eleven words that I've rehearsed to say
And I say
How I love to hate you!
You're
not so brave
When I'm the snake
And you're my prey
Let me tell you I'll eat all day
Alone in this desolate cave
So I say
Squeal if you want to
Cause no
no one is around
I want you to
To squeal all day
Cause there's eleven words that I've rehearsed to say
And I say
How I love to hate you!
James, how I love to hate you
Oh, how I love

I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot on the train
And I must be a masochist
To ever take up with you, James.
It sounds familiar
That tone in your voice
You're gonna quit, James
You leave me no choice.
Oh, James
Letting me down again, James.
Well, it wasn't so long ago
I saw love in your eyes
And I think I should've known
But I'm feelin' somewhat surprised.
You think there's someone
Better for you
You think I'm too young
To see this thing through.
Oh, James
Letting me down again, James.
(Ooh, let me down) down, down
(Ooh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Ooh, let me down) down, down
(Ooh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Ooh, let me down) down.
I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot out the door
And I don't think I should trust
That kind of love anymore.
And now I realize
I had it all wrong
I'll only take this
Trip for so long.
Woe, James
Letting me down again, James
Guess this is goodbye again, James
Letting me down again

Ugly children with poor complexions and greasy hair
Receive no concessions and it`s a heartless world
And it`s a thoughtless heartless world
Oh james oh you're a terrible child
Hide yourself away from furnished accommodation
With a view and window seat
You swear she really is the best thing that you have ever seen
But your heart is in the wrong place
Cover your face and despair yourself away
Oh you're impossible james hide yourself away
And it`s a sin to be a saint
And you're impossible james
And it`s impossible to accept that she's impossible
And as a consequence you lock yourself away
And it`s a crime to be alive and be alone
And be content to be
Oh james oh you`re a terrible child
Hide yourself away
And in the morning when you wake

You said, "Young man, don't rely on a sword.
Cause your words will outlive even time."
I've counted my blessings.
The rest are for you.
Please listen close for awhile,
And breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?

Are you surprised where you are?
So breathe, breathe, deep for me James.

But I'm doing fine, James.
So you can sit back and just breathe.
And it's time now to let yourself go.
Hold us close, spin the dream, the curtain will fall but behind it

the lights have a heartbeat not unlike that
which starts me and the whole house
starts moving and i've been wearing your clothes i can't
fit inside
your shoes there is no mystery to anything i do
have you gone to pasture james?
you go to greater lengths to feel the same
any length to feel like you felt yesterday
like hospital corners you construct your life
in quarters and the whole house feels holy
when we stretch out on the floor we have no way of
knowing
how long we've been sleeping for
have you gone to pasture james?
you go to greater lengths to feel the same
any length to feel like you felt yesterday
and you want to go to heaven but you're not
sure where it is there are no miracles when you're always
giving in
you feel so unaffected you don't show up anymore
and you feel numb, honey it's been done
have you gone to pasture james?
you go to any length to feel like you felt yesterday

He decided he'd be better off alone
So he left his wife and child and went solo
It is summertime, Atlanta's hot as hell
He thinks back to what he had, and where he's now
(chorus)
James can't stop hangin' out in the bars
He's on top, breakin' all the ladies hearts
James ain't got a problem with alcohol
He can't stop, hangin' out in the bars
Found a payphone and the courage it did swell
What to say, James never really knew that well
His apology was more than they could stand
'I'm just a poor excuse for what some call a man'
(chorus)
James can't stop hangin' out in the bars
He's on top, breakin' all the ladies hearts
James ain't got a problem with alcohol
He can't stop, hangin' out in the bars
'So I want you to be spirited and brave
Find someone to love, but never take my place'
He hung the phone up and defeated his own life
Disappeared into the closest neon sign
(chorus)
James can't stop hangin' out in the bars
He's on top, breakin' all the ladies hearts
James ain't got a problem with alcohol
He can't stop, hangin' out in the bars

James
We were always friends
From our childhood days
Then we made our plans
And we had to go our separate ways
I went on the road
You pursued an education
James
Do you like your life?
Can you find release?
Will you ever change?
Will you ever write your masterpiece?
Are you still in school
Living up to expectations
James
You were so relied upon
Everybody knows how you tried
Ah look at what a job you've done
Carrying the weight of family pride
James
You've been well behaved
You've been working hard
But will you always stay
Someone else's dream of who you are?
Do what's good for you
Or you're not good for anybody
James
I went on the road
You pursued an education
James
How you gonna know for sure?
Everything was so well organized
Ah now everything is so secure
And everybody else is satisfied
James
Do you like your life?
Can you find release?
Will you ever change?
When will you write your masterpiece?
Do what's good for you
Or you're not good for anybody

(Hi James)
Verse 1:
Known ya since we were younger
And even now that we're older
You're still a kid so curious
Who's peeking over my shoulder.
You always drift around.
You never let me down.
I trust that you'll be yourself.
Don't act like you're no one else.
You can be a space case.
You do it your own way.
There's a strange sincerity
That makes them girls go crazy.
Maybe it don't make sense.
You don't have to understand.
Chorus:
James! Doesn't try still attracts the babes!
All the guys say he's got no game!
You can laugh but in the end now
Everybodys on a date with my buddy James.
And everbody knows his name.
He's driving everybody insane!
They wanna be like James.
Verse 2:
You're talking to a lady.
It's awkward entertainment.
Freeze up like a popsicle
Then melting on the pavement.
It's not the clothes you wear.
You don't have to dye that hair.
No need to go all new.
You should just stick with you.
Always been the nice guy
Living on the side lines.
You're afraid to take a chance
So step into the lime light.
People like underdogs.
Someone worth fighting for.
Chorus: James! Doesn't try still attracts the babes!
All the guys say he's got no game!
You can laugh but in the end now
Everybodys on a date with my buddy James.
And everbody knows his name.
He's driving everybody insane!
They wanna be like James.
Bridge:
When you walk into a room,
Makin everybody swoon.
So invicible.
The writings on the wall.(yea)
Chorus:
James! Doesn't try still attracts the babes!
All the guys say he's got no game!
You can laugh but in the end now
Everybodys on a date with my buddy James.
Chorus:
James! Doesn't try still attracts the babes!
All the guys say he's got no game!
You can laugh but in the end now
Everybodys on a date with my buddy James.
And everbody knows his name.(Ladies)
He's driving everybody insane!
They wanna be like James.
