Dumb Jam

Dumb Jam is track ten on the 1999 James album Millionaires.

It was originally played on the US spring tour of 1994 having being jammed in rehearsals and it appeared on the infamous Whiplash Sessions, but remained unreleased.

The track then got lost until Saul came across it on a tape of old recordings and it was re-recorded as it was something “other bands would die for.” It has never been played live since release.

Here she comes with a gun in her hand
A look in her eyes says you don't understand
And the moon is full, what are you gonna do
A gun in her hand makes her feel like a man

Her man is a monkey we've all agreed
This woman's a saint or at least she's a queen
But if you mess with this angel, the harpy arrives
Talon and wings and a cute 45

He's only human, only male
Bound to stray, bound to betrayal
The moon is rising, it's a physical thing
Nothing can hold him, not even a ring

She's only human, only female
Bound to victim, bound to betrayal
The moon is rising, it's a physical thing
She's only acting on the rite of spring

Here she comes with a gun in her hand
A look in her eyes says she don't understand
And the womb is full, what are you gonna do
A gun in her hand makes her feel like a man
