Start A Fire

Posted on

One of the songs that James previewed at the two Hoxton shows in September 2007 before they went to France to record Hey Ma that didn’t make the final cut. It was only performed once ever – at the second of the two nights.

The lyrics are a dig at the war-mongering governments – “before you build a gun, better find out whose hands are upon it”

Fear

Posted on

Fear is the eighth and last track on the 2010 James mini-album The Morning After.

It was first played at one of the preview shows before James went to France to record Hey Ma in September 2007, but didn’t make the cut for that record so was revisited for the mini-album.

LyricsListenReleaseAvailable OnGigsGuitar Tabs
Fear takes my breath away
I'm saving my skin
Dogs bark at a stranger's feet
I act without thinking

Fear fights for the driver's seat
Keeps breaking the chain
Next time he rides in the boot
We got wise to his game

We be giant or small
Satellite's askew
Compensate for fear of falling
I'm afraid of you

Shadows on the wall
I'm afraid of you
They dissolve when we start talking
You must want it too

Fear, fear, fear
Fear, fear
Fear, fear, fear
Fear
