James Daniel May (born 16 January 1963) is an English television presenter, journalist and writer. He is best known for his role as co-presenter of the award-winning motoring program Top Gear alongside Jeremy Clarkson , and Richard Hammond.
On Top Gear, May has the nickname "Captain Slow" for his careful driving style, a love of small underpowered cars and habit of getting lost and distracted while driving. However, in a July 2010 episode of Top Gear he drove a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, reaching a speed of 417.6 kilometres per hour (259.5 mph). After his attempt the Bugatti test driver Pierre-Henri Raphanel took the car to 430 kilometers per hour (267.5 mph).
May has presented a variety of other programs on themes including science and technology, toys, cars, wine culture, and the plight of manliness in modern times. In addition he has released a variety of DVDs and books with similar themes, and wrote a weekly column for The Daily Telegraph's motoring section.
James May was born in Bristol, one of four children; he has two sisters and a brother. May attended Caerleon Endowed Junior School in Newport, then in Monmouthshire. He spent his teenage years in South Yorkshire where he attended Oakwood Comprehensive School in Rotherham and was a choirboy at Whiston Parish Church. He was also at school with Life On Mars and Ashes to Ashes star Dean Andrews. A keen flautist and pianist, he later studied music at Pendle College, Lancaster University. After graduating, May briefly worked at a hospital in Chelsea as a records officer, and had a short stint in Her Majesty's Civil Service.
There is nothing to keep me here
The only reason is dragging me under
Drowned by all my insecurities
I know you try to understand, understand.
As I grow apart from all that I've ever know
Retracing lines, reliving lies
Searching for something more, there must be something more
Retracing lines, I'm reliving lies.
The comfort and security
Hides fear and broken dreams
In a broken town, where nothing changes
Life passes by on the wind
And home is where you lay your head, lay your head.
I never knew these streets so cold,
I never knew that I could be so cold.
I never knew these streets so cold,
I never knew that I could be so cold.
As I grow apart from all that I've ever know
Retracing lines, reliving lies
Searching for something more, there must be something more
Retracing lines, I'm reliving lies.
