Shooting My Mouth Off

Shooting My Mouth Off is track four from the 1999 James album Millionaires. It did not appear on European versions of the album.

It was first played as Real World Jam at Birmingham (where it was aborted half way through) and Plymouth on the 1998 December arena tour.

Shooting My Mouth Off was a late addition to Millionaires as it did not appear on initial Mercury promos. Some promo CDRs of the album feature a slightly shorter and different mix of the track.

Before you, no direction
Before I, came on in
Before you, let your doubts down
The walls were closing in
Were closing in

Adore you, no protection
Ignore you, it can't be done
To make do, with a safer option
A breakthrough, two to one
Two to one

And I hope I'm not shooting my mouth off
Again
And I pray I'm not tempting the fates
When I say we can go on forever
It's a date
It's a date

(Here she comes)
Yes I know that love should seem foolish
Like now
Yes I know that love hardly lasts
(Here she comes)
(Here she comes)
And it's hard to receive that we're happy
(Here she comes)
Here's my heart
Here's my heart

Here she comes
(repeat to end)
