So Many Ways

So Many Ways is track three and the lead single from the 1986 James album Stutter.

It was the only single to be released from the Stutter album and was James first attempt at making a video, shot in a field full of wheat with the band running around aimlessly and Gavan banging a drum. Tim wears a rather fetching white suit and hat with an orange shirt.

There are so many traps been laid
How can you avoid one
Put your foot down in a moonlit glade
Snap your ankles broken

I don't know how decisions get made
Which of the turns to take
It doesn't seem to matter what plans are laid
You can't tell when the wave will break

So, so many ways
So, so many ways, ways

There are so many colourful rays
How are you going to choose one
Bright lights look all right from here
But seduction has to be wrong

I don't know how decisions get made
Which of the turns to take
It doesn't seem to matter what plans are laid
You can't tell when the wave will break

So, so many ways
So, so many ways, ways

I don't know which path you're taking,
If it's bent or straight
All I know is I've found something that will take me home again

So so so so many ways, so many ways

If you keep your wits about you,
Search with an open heart
You'll be sure to find your answers
Penetrate the scream in the cynics laugh

So, so, so, so many ways
So many ways

Lost in a cave looking for God's path
Floating free in space
All these lights coming out the dark
Do they lead to the same place

So, so many ways
So, so many ways
