Lloyd Cole - James lyrics

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

nothing will have changed
