Pressure’s On is the second track on the 1994 James album Wah Wah.
It was debuted at the Paris Locomotive secret show in March 1991 and was demoed for the Seven LP, albeit in a slightly faster version than what finally made it onto the Wah Wah LP as one of the three non-improvised tracks three years later.
It was also played on the 1993 US WOMAD and UK tour, often as the opening track. It made a surprising reappearance at the opening night of the Whiplash tour but then disappeared until reappearing 25 years later on the 2019 Extraordinary Times tour.

Hide your deep depression
Face of self-control
Show to the world a confidence
Pray your fears won't show
Cry, cry
Break your first impressions
Recreate your love
Love's at the heart of everything
Let love be your goal
Cry, cry, cry, cry
My whole world
Breaking down
The pressure's on
The pressure's on
This whole way's
Falling down
The pressure's on
The pressure's on
The pressure's on
The pressure's on
The pressure's on
Cry

Face of self-control
Show to the world a confidence
Pray your fears won't show
Cry, cry

Recreate your love
Love's at the heart of everything
Let love be your goal
Cry, cry, cry, cry
My whole world
Breaking down
The pressure's on
The pressure's on
This whole way's
Falling down
The pressure's on
The pressure's on
The pressure's on
The pressure's on
The pressure's on
