Shirts on fire, shirts on fire
Billy's dream boat stills as the house alights
Sailors come from miles for a drink and a fight
But the harbour thrills pull back from the light
To the belly of a boat in a hammer shark attack
Holler, holler, holler, holler, holler, holler, holler, holler
Pleasures of the night
Seaman's delight
Holler, holler, holler, holler, holler, holler, holler, holler
Pleasures of the night
What a sight
Oh no, the organ plays by itself
It doesn't need the grinder's help and the monkey
And the monkey, and the monkey stows away to sea
Back to his wife and a nest in the trees
Billy's brother plays bass in a band called Man
He fancies himself as a travelling ham
Strutting and fretting the myth to fame
In a torn T-shirt he'll carve his name
Holler, holler, holler, holler, holler, holler, holler, holler
Pleasures of the night
What a sight
Oh no, the organ plays by itself
It doesn't need the grinder's help and the monkey
And the monkey, and the monkey stows away to sea
Back to his wife and a nest in the trees
Looking for adventure and some mystery
He doesn't need the grinder and he doesn't want me
Stripped off his suit
So let the poor beast be
Oh, let the poor beast be
The man said, "Ho ho wee, this is too hot for me!"
Billy's shirt's on fire in the night
He said, "Ho wee this is too hot to see."
Billy's shirt's on fire in the night
Billy's dream boat stills as the house alights
Sailors come from miles for a drink and a fight
But the harbour thrills pull back from the light
To the belly of a boat in a hammer shark attack
Holler, holler, holler, holler, holler, holler, holler, holler
Pleasures of the night
Seaman's delight
Holler, holler, holler, holler, holler, holler, holler, holler
Pleasures of the night
What a sight
Oh no, the organ plays by itself
It doesn't need the grinder's help and the monkey
And the monkey, and the monkey stows away to sea
Back to his wife and a nest in the trees
Billy's brother plays bass in a band called Man
He fancies himself as a travelling ham
Strutting and fretting the myth to fame
In a torn T-shirt he'll carve his name
Holler, holler, holler, holler, holler, holler, holler, holler

Oh there must be some way out of this prison
There must be somewhere worth digging to
There must be some way out of this prison
There must be somewhere worth digging to
I was proud of my cell, it was the best on the block
I was content till I spotted the lock
Screamed at the neighbours, but they were stuck too
And I realised this was something I had to break through
Oh there must be some way out of this prison
There must be somewhere worth digging to
There must be some way out of this prison
There must be somewhere worth digging to
Digging to
Ate the file in the fruitcake, tried bending the bars
Banged my head against the wall, but I didn't get far
I got out of this room, led into a bigger room
Someone broke down that door, lead into a corridor
Up onto the rooftops
The sky is my ceiling
Horizons are my walls
Oh there must be some way out of this prison
There must be somewhere worth digging to
There must be some way out of this prison
There must be somewhere worth digging to
Digging to
Someone is guiding me
Something is lifting me
Something is taking me
Close to my rooftops is the birth of the rainbow
It seems more real than all of these walls
And all I've got to do
All I've got to do
And all I've got to do is jump
Is jump
Jump
Let go
Let go
Let go
I am everywhere I see
I'm everywhere I see
I'm everywhere I see
I'm everywhere I see
I'm everywhere I see
I'm everywhere
There must be somewhere worth digging to

And I realised this was something I had to break through
Oh there must be some way out of this prison

| Release Name: | James II EP |
| Artist Name: | |
| Release Date: | 1st March 1985 |
| Format: | Studio EP |
| Catalogue: | 7" FAC 119 |
James II was delayed almost twelve months due to Tim’s serious liver illness which almost cost him his life and the band’s own stifling high standards.
Intended as a double A-side single, it was Hymn From A Village that caught the attention of the music press and major record labels. James II hit number one in the indie charts boosted by support slots on The Smiths Meat Is Murder tour. This was despite the band’s reluctance to do any form of visual promotion outside of live concerts, even a NME cover shot was turned down.
The artwork for the single came from John Carroll, who was to form a long association with the band lasting through to the singles off the Seven album.
The single did start the band to doubt Factory’s ability to support them at the level that they wanted. Whilst on tour with The Smiths, the band would go into local indie stores and try and buy their own singles, but were often told that they were out of stock and would take weeks to order as Factory couldn’t meet demand. With hopes of greater success, James decided that they had to leave Factory in order to progress.
Reviews
NME
All the bands coming through at the moment see to be of a certain mould. BEAUTY is the thing to be possessed of and if you haven’t got it, fake it and bugger the sound you’re making – that can be faked too. That’s why James are so refreshing. So non-visual it hurts and makes it excessively difficult to find one of those easy nouns we journalists like attaching to the front of groups’ names. You know ‘funksters’, ‘popsters’, ‘long macsters’. The comparisons with Joy Division are glaringly obvious but they have a less doomy, more open-hearted feel and (ouch) energy.
Sounds
Offbeat folk rock debut with nicely wonky sensibilities, this is James in the shadow of that ‘Morrissey’s favourite band tag’ but holding their own anyway.
Melody Maker
Morrissey allegedly loves this group. I find that hard to believe, mainly because the credulity beyond endurance to imagine Morrissey taking his eyes away from the mirror long enough to love anything or anybody else. An energetically cranked-up performance with guitar, bassist, drums and vocalist all seriously overacting, the song repeatedly advises the listener “why don’t you read a book, it’s so much more worthwhile?” I wish I was reading one right now.

February 1985
James tour the UK as special guests of The Smiths on their Meat Is Murder tour from February to April, fuelling still further press comparisons of the two bands.
November 1984
James support The Smiths on a nine-date Irish tour, travelling around in the back of a Transit van.
October 1984
The James II EP is recorded at Strawberry Studios in Stockport.
September 1984
Before the Hacienda show, Jim breaks the news to Paul that he has been replaced in the band by Larry due to his increasing unreliability and drug-related problems.
Not There
Not There is the b-side of the 1988 James single What For and also track six on the 1988 album Strip-Mine.
It is inspired by Paul Gilbertson, the original guitarist in the band, who was, the story goes, inclined to indulge in certain recreational pastimes which left him unable to play properly.

Hello, hello, hello
Swig from the bottle, now who's sucking who
You'd prefer the nipple, but your teeth have cut through
Defects we're born with, but poisons we choose
He' s not there, just a gap in the air
He's not there, just the smell of despair
He's not there
Pill-popping and a pint-pulling
And a thirst-quenching, mind-bending
Pill-popping and a pint-pulling
And a thirst-quenching, mind-bending
Pill-popping and a knife-pulling
People come knocking, but there's no one at home
Did you get my call, oh you haven't a phone
That look in your eyes, it's miles away
Don't look in your eyes, you are miles away
He's not there he's really not there
Oh, people come knocking but there's no one at home
Did you get my call, oh you haven't a phone
That look in your eyes, it's miles away
That look in your eyes, it's miles away

Down the chute and out the door
I know that I've been here before
The blinding lights, the long white coat
Cut the cord before I choke
Oh, please sir, handle me gently
I've got nothing to protect me
This man in a mask stabbed me in the back
No sooner alive than I'm being attacked
If this is the planet earth
Oh please, mom, take me back in your sack
My keepers aren't too bad this time
The man's quiet, the woman's fine
When I arrive, what's hers is mine
I take and take it all the time
Oh please sir, do not tempt me
Those sweet things, they just destroy me
I always want more than I can get
My belly's full, but I'm not done yet
Need something to kill
The world is mine
It's true, it's true, it's true
You taught us how to be the same as you
If only you really knew
We wouldn't do what you do
It's true, it's true, it's true
As you poison the Earth you poison our lives
This isn't living, but another disguise
Go looking for truth
As all of this is built on lies and lies.......
Hey, hey, hey now you've found me
Everything's so clear
With your arms around and your song in my heart
There's simply nothing I can fear
Feel it inside, burst through my head
Straight through my eyes
Please don't let me hide
Cut through my head
And straight through my eyes
I know that I've been here before
The blinding lights, the long white coat
Cut the cord before I choke
Oh, please sir, handle me gently
I've got nothing to protect me
This man in a mask stabbed me in the back
No sooner alive than I'm being attacked
If this is the planet earth
Oh please, mom, take me back in your sack
My keepers aren't too bad this time
The man's quiet, the woman's fine
When I arrive, what's hers is mine
I take and take it all the time
Oh please sir, do not tempt me
Those sweet things, they just destroy me
I always want more than I can get
My belly's full, but I'm not done yet
Need something to kill
The world is mine
It's true, it's true, it's true
You taught us how to be the same as you
If only you really knew
We wouldn't do what you do
It's true, it's true, it's true
As you poison the Earth you poison our lives
This isn't living, but another disguise
Go looking for truth
As all of this is built on lies and lies.......
Hey, hey, hey now you've found me

Black Hole
Black Hole is the eleventh and final track on James’ 1986 debut album Stutter.
This track was surprisingly resurrected on a number of occasions in the early 1990s, most notably at Blackpool in 1990. According to Tim, this song is the inspiration for the Inspiral Carpets hit “This Is How It Feels”.

I've been digging this grave, but now that it's made
I see that black is one hell of a colour
Want to break out so I start to shout
But the mortician's returned to his parlour
Black hole, black hole
Wrapped in my shroud, upstairs the music so loud
That I can't concentrate on my sorrow
Let down my hair and find something to wear
And then dance myself into tomorrow
Black hole, black hole
I'm in a hole here and all I can see
Are these grey walls that are closing in on me
Throw me a ladder, lend me an arm
Beam me up Scotty, lift me from harm
Oh why, why deep holes?
Oh why, why deep holes?
Oh I love my holes
Black hole, black hole, hole
I'm in a hole here and all I can see
Are these grey walls that are closing in on me
Throw me a ladder, lend me an arm
Beam me up Scotty, lift me from harm
Oh why, why deep holes?
Oh why, why deep holes?
Oh I love my holes
Black hole, black hole, hole
If the weather would change, these clouds might blow away
And my body be wrapped up in sunshine
I want out of this wind that is wearing me thin
Blasting my flesh to the marrow
Blasting my flesh to the marrow
Why deep holes?
Why deep holes?
Black hole, black hole, hole, hole........
I see that black is one hell of a colour
Want to break out so I start to shout
But the mortician's returned to his parlour
Black hole, black hole
Wrapped in my shroud, upstairs the music so loud
That I can't concentrate on my sorrow
Let down my hair and find something to wear
And then dance myself into tomorrow
Black hole, black hole

Throw me a ladder, lend me an arm

Are these grey walls that are closing in on me
Throw me a ladder, lend me an arm

Scarecrow
Scarecrow is track two on the 1986 James album Stutter and track nine on the 1989 live album One Man Clapping.
It is written about Patti Smith, one of Tim’s earliest and continuing inspirations. Ironically, the producer Lenny Kaye used to be a member of the Patti Smith Band in the 1970s.

Which scarecrow has the power of voice
It will stab you in the thigh
And when she wails, it twists your insides
Wise scarecrow
Which scarecrow
Which scarecrow
A pitch for which she has been searching
Holds the key to the dreams she's been dreaming
Coming on, coming on, coming on
She's coming on strong
She's coming on coming on coming on coming on
Coming on strong
Don't try to mix her ego with her soul
Never mix the ego with the soul
I always twist my ego with my soul
Which scarecrow
Wise scarecrow
Which scarecrow
And just you was her inspiration
Got a band that could shatter a nation
Now she's coming on, coming on, coming on
She's coming on strong
She's coming on coming on coming on coming on
Coming on strong
She's coming on strong
She's coming on strong, coming on strong, coming on strong, coming on strong
Coming on strong, coming on strong, coming on strong
When your song strikes me
My walls fall down
And I can sit down
In your perfect light and sound
It will stab you in the thigh
And when she wails, it twists your insides
Wise scarecrow
Which scarecrow
Which scarecrow
A pitch for which she has been searching
Holds the key to the dreams she's been dreaming
Coming on, coming on, coming on
She's coming on strong
She's coming on coming on coming on coming on

Don't try to mix her ego with her soul
Never mix the ego with the soul
