Wisdom Of The Throat is a b-side of the 1999 James single We’re Going To Miss You.
It was recorded by Tim and Michael on an eight-track machine at Tim’s house along with Pocketful of Lemons as b-sides for the We’re Going To Miss You single as the two felt that fans should get new material with the single rather than the easy option of live tracks or remixes.

Everybody needs an off day,
Everybody needs some room,
Cut some slack,
Get back,
You're too close,
Too soon,
You say ""let's walk together"",
The forecast's fine,
Don't hold on to forever,
Just take your time,
What was I thinking of,
What was I thinking of,
You say I take forever,
Just take my time,
You took a while to discover,
You're mine,
You're mine,
You're mine,
Everybody wants to love somebody,
Everybody needs to need somebody,
Someone said,
The wisdom in her throat,
Is deeper than my head,
I don't need,
I don't need just anybody,
To share my body with
But I,
But I,
But I need you in my bed,
What was I thinking of,
What was I thinking of,
You say I take forever,
Just take my time,
You took a while to discover,
You're mine,
You're mine,
You say I take forever,
Just take my time,
You took a while to discover,
You're mine,
You're mine,
You're mine,
You're mine,
You're mine,
You're mine,
You are mine,
You're mine
Everybody needs some room,
Cut some slack,
Get back,
You're too close,
Too soon,
You say ""let's walk together"",
The forecast's fine,
Don't hold on to forever,
Just take your time,
What was I thinking of,
What was I thinking of,
You say I take forever,
Just take my time,
You took a while to discover,
You're mine,
You're mine,
You're mine,
Everybody wants to love somebody,
Everybody needs to need somebody,
Someone said,
The wisdom in her throat,
Is deeper than my head,
I don't need,
I don't need just anybody,
To share my body with
But I,
But I,
But I need you in my bed,
What was I thinking of,
What was I thinking of,
You say I take forever,
Just take my time,
You took a while to discover,
You're mine,
You're mine,
You say I take forever,
Just take my time,
You took a while to discover,
You're mine,
You're mine,
You're mine,
You're mine,
You're mine,
You're mine,
You are mine,
You're mine

Song Structure:
A rather quirky ballad written by messers Booth and Kulas, this has a rather stiking Main Riff which permeates the whole song, with a rather weird effect on it. Also cropping up, most noticeably at the very beginning, is an Other Riff.
During the middle 8 is played the Middle Riff. This is only an approximation, with many effects being used and possibly two guitars playing at the same time, but sounds decent enough.
Chords throughout are C and F, but with G and F forming the bridge ("what was I thinking of" bits) and the middle 8. I haven't matched them up to the lyrics because, well, they don't match! All the chord changes occur between words, or in the middle of nowhere, so I haven't matched them.
