James - P.S. / Five-O - Live at the Astoria 1993

Duas das minhas músicas e letras preferidas... Fabulosas.
James numa fase brilhante, que felizmente acompanhei ao vivo... 

James - P.S.
You're a weapon of devotion
Keep the faithful entertained
You're a lover of attention
Found a way to pawn the soul
Disposition may be fetching
But the world moves on and leaves you far behind

I hear you, I hear you, whispering such gorgeous stories
I see you, I see you, trying to break free
You liar, you liar, you can't live the dreams you're spinning
You liar, love to be deceived

You're falling, you're falling, falling from your god-like distance
You're fashion, just fashion, fashion doesn't keep
You're sour, so sour, all is hope and trust is misplaced
You're sour, now you are alone

Walking on fire, feel the way the world's inclining
Walking on fire, hate to deceive
Walking on fire, now the world will keep its distance
Walking on fire, you rather than me

My son says, dear father, what did you do when the world turned over
Keep spinning, keep spinning, send us off to sleep
You liar, you liar, all your words are just dust in moonshine
You liar, love to be deceived

Walking on fire, found a place away from humans
Walking on fire, hate to deceive
Walking on fire, now the world will keep its distance
Walking on fire, you rather than me

James - Five-O
Are you open for trade
Your salvation, for something, for some thrills
Is a body of work for your inspection
You can trace, trace my concern
My concern

I've been looking for truth
At the cost of living
I've been afraid
Of what's before mine eyes
Every answer found
Begs another question
The further you go, the less you know
The less I know

I can feel your face
Gonna make it mine
I can be the man
I see in your eyes
Can you take my weight
Are we both too small
Know each other well
We've met before

Will we grow together
Will it be a lie
If it lasts forever, hope I'm the first to die
Will you marry me, Can we meet the cost
Is the power of love worth the pain of loss
Can you pay the bill, will you keep the change
Are you here for the party, or are you here for the pain

I can feel your face
Gonna make it mine
I can be the man
I see in your eyes
Will we grow together
Will it be a lie
If it lasts forever, hope I'm the first to die
Hope I'm the first to die

James - Frozen Britain (La Petit Mort)

Foi conhecido hoje o novo single do próximo álbum dos James, "La Petit Mort", que irá sair a 2 de Junho deste ano. Este "Frozen Britan" é tão bom. Ansioso por mais...
...e por uma tour, de preferência que passe por Portugal!

Para animar... James - Waltzing Along (Live)

Todos nós temos dias em que nos sentimos mais tristes e que precisamos muito que nos puxem para cima. Comigo nem sempre resulta, mas há músicas que conseguem animar-nos e dar-nos alguma força. Tinha a ideia que já aqui a tinha postado, visto que é uma das minhas músicas preferidas da minha banda de eleição, mas pesquisei e parece que não...

- Como é possível?!

Esta é a minha "HAPPY SONG" e para além de me animar, põe-me a bater o pé ou a dançar. Deixo-vos com os James e o seu fantástico frontman Tim Booth, espero que anime tanto como me costuma animar... Porque sei que algures, há quem precise especialmente, cá vai...

James - Waltzing Along

Help comes when you need it most
Im cured by laughter
Mood swings
Not sure I can cope
My life's in plaster

May your mind set you free
May your heart lead you on
May your mind let you see in all disasters
May your heart lead you on

These wounds are all self imposed
Life's no disaster
All roads lead on to death row
Who knows what comes after

May your mind be wide open
May your heart beat strong
Maybe your minds will be broken
By this heartfelt song

May your mind set you free
May your heart lead you on
May your eyes let you see in all disasters
May your heart lead you on
May your mind be wide open
May your heart lead you on

Aqui fica uma versão da última tour deste ano, num vídeo amador, consequentemente numa versão mais crua...
