Crescendo

Crescendo is track five on the original version of the 1990 James album Gold Mother.

It was removed from the re-release in 1991 to make way for Lose Control and Sit Down and was added back as a bonus track on the 2001 reissue after appearing as a b-side to Runaground in 1998.

Originally aired in the spring of 1989 and entitled The Last Whale, Crescendo was a live favourite. The band revealed at sound checks for the 2011 tour with the Orchestra Of The Swan that it had been rehearsed, but it never made it to the setlist.

Oh, it's a late show
Oh, it's, it's it's a late show
I'm afraid of loneliness swallowing me
I'm afraid of loneliness swallowing me
Swallowing me
Bow down, bow down with someone
Bow down, bow down with somewhere
It's, it's, it's a better than me
It's, it's, it's a better than me
I'm afraid of loneliness swallowing me
I'm afraid of loneliness swallowing me
Bow down, bow down with somewhere
Bow down, bow down with someone
It's, it's, it's a better than me
It's, it's, it's a better than me
Oh, it's a late show
Oh, it's, it's it's a late show
I'm afraid of loneliness swallowing me
I'm afraid of loneliness swallowing me
Hula-hey-rey, hula-hey-rey, hula-hey-rey, hula-hey-rey
Hula-hey-rey, hula-hey-rey, hula-hey-rey, hula-hey-rey
Are you swallowing me?
Are you swallowing me?
Are you swallowing me?
Are you swallowing me?
Swallowing me
Swallowing me
Swallowing me
Swallowing me
