Curse Curse

Curse Curse is the second track from James’ 2014 album La Petite Mort. A radio edit of the song was released as a single in August 2014 and a video filmed at James’ gig at Mares Vivas Festival in Porto in the middle of a July thunderstorm.

Stems for the track were made available to fans to remix for a competition run by the band and DJ Magazine. The prize for the best mix was a physical release on a 500-only 12″ single alongside two professional mixes on Record Store Day 2015.

In my hotel room
Sounds from next door
Someone's getting laid
God's name's proclaimed
The end is on its way
Turned on ashamed
I turn up the TV
Copa Del Rey
Messi shoots and scores
A hundred thousand came

No rain for days
I'm easily ignited
I think too much
Don't get me started

Pour me more tequila
Raise the flames to fever
Some spirit draws me out
Praise the lord and kiss me on the mouth
Two shots more tequila
Raise the flames to fever
Some spirit draws me out
Praise the lord and kiss me on the mouth

Alone in my bedroom
Alone in my bedroom
I prowl the walls
Create shadows

I'm crazy as a wasp
On a window in a heatwave
I see the light
But something's in my way

I'm just a profiteer
Running out of luck
Gunning on desire
Curse curse curse curse
I'm just a hack in fear
That I'm not good enough
Gunning on desire
Curse curse curse curse

Time to wake, time to wake the floorboards
Time to ride, time to ride the dark horse
Time to shake, time to shake up the neighbours

Pour me more tequila
Raise the flames to fever
Some spirit draws me out
Praise the lord and kiss me on the mouth
Two shots more tequila
Raise the flames to fever
Some spirit draws me out
Praise the lord and kiss me on the mouth

Alone in my bedroom
Alone in my bedroom
I prowl the walls
Create shadows
