Gaudi is track eight on the 2001 James album Pleased To Meet You.
It was apparently written on the Thursday before the 2000 Theatre tour. There would appear to be a religious theme in the lyrics to the song.

God's dead
This state is torture
Find me shade
And bring me water
Holding on
I'm thirsty for your sage
Back at the ranch
I just got slaughtered
Too many shoulds
Too many orders
Better come out
Holding on to faith
Let the sun begin to shine through your night
Let the light reveal disguise in your life
Let the sun begin to shine through your night
Let the light reveal disguise in your life
Work kills
It's killing me slowly
And what is the point in being so holy?
Who do you love?
Who do you love above all?
If you want to live some life
Get slaughtered
They'd sell their sons and daughters
Who do you love?
Who do you love above all?
How can we fail
Less we really want to
Under the spell of some local voodoo curse
We can change our fate
Let the sun begin to shine through your night
Let the light reveal disguise in your life
Let the sun begin to shine through your night
Let the light reveal disguise in your life
Let the sun begin to shine through your night
Let the light reveal disguise in your life
Let the sun begin to shine through your night
Let the light reveal disguise in your life
This state is torture
Find me shade
And bring me water
Holding on
I'm thirsty for your sage
Back at the ranch
I just got slaughtered
Too many shoulds
Too many orders
Better come out
Holding on to faith
Let the sun begin to shine through your night
Let the light reveal disguise in your life
Let the sun begin to shine through your night
Let the light reveal disguise in your life
Work kills
It's killing me slowly
And what is the point in being so holy?
Who do you love?
Who do you love above all?
If you want to live some life
Get slaughtered
They'd sell their sons and daughters
Who do you love?
Who do you love above all?
How can we fail
Less we really want to
Under the spell of some local voodoo curse
We can change our fate
Let the sun begin to shine through your night
Let the light reveal disguise in your life
Let the sun begin to shine through your night
Let the light reveal disguise in your life
Let the sun begin to shine through your night
Let the light reveal disguise in your life
Let the sun begin to shine through your night
Let the light reveal disguise in your life

Song Structure:
Only one guitar in this song, played by Adrian. He plays the chords in a kind of half hearted manner, and the guitar is barely audible. Oh well, at least you've got the Leeds Bootleg for some guitars.

How can we fail
And never get hurt
Trucks thrown around
Going around your baby
Waiting for love
Waiting for love to fall
Wanna be a drummer
And a love the voodoo
Breed apart and lovely
And they'll never defy you, now
Oh the life
You're so bland
You could be in neighbours
Underneath the bed
Of the skulls of strangers, now
You can't save your race
Let the sun begin to shine through your night
Let the light reveal disguise in your life
Let the sun begin to shine through your night
Let the light reveal disguise in your life
Let the sun begin to shine through your night
Let the light reveal disguise in your life
Let the sun begin to shine through your night
Let the light reveal disguise in your life
