Go To The Bank

Go To The Bank is track six on the 1997 James album Whiplash.

Most of Go To The Bank was improvised and captured as you hear it, including Tim Booth’s vocal for the first time on a James track. It also includes Adrian Oxaal’s first rehearsal and audition for the band where he was asked to join in without having a key, confusing the hell out of him apparently. The vocals were apparently done in a “bizarre cut and paste sample trip” by Dave Baynton-Power at his home studio in Wales.

The song didn’t surface at a live gig until Leeds in 2014.

Baby you're such a tease
With legs that go on forever
Baby come back to me
maybe we'll get together

Baby come back to me
You're such good company
Baby come back to me
I don't expect you to stay here

I might go shopping just to
Might go out
Just to buy those things that are eluding me
Just to buy something from the mall
Just to buy something that's eluding me
With a friend or two
And a friend like you

Baby come back to me
You make it look so easy
Why do I have to try so hard
Just to be happy

I feel so empty, so I might go shopping
Just to buy those things that will make me feel
Just to buy those things from the mall
Just to buy those things that will make me feel
Much better
So much better

And I'll call up my sister
For my sister's my teacher
And she might know what I need
'Cause its not on the telly

And I'll call up my sister
For my sister needs me
and I'll fix her a cup of coffee
And we'll go to the bank
Go to the bank, go to the bank, go to the bank, go to the bank
It all belongs to Caesar
It all belongs to Caesar
It all belongs to Caesar
Go do the bank
Go do the bank

Go to the bank, go to the bank, go to the bank
We're going down to Mexico
Get away from this culture
Go to the bank (14 times)

I'm going in
I can receive
I'm going in
I have such dreams
(Some love life)
(Some love life)
I'm going in
I can receive
I'm going in
I have such dreams
I have such dreams
I have such dreams
