Burned

Posted on

Burned is track twelve on the 1989 James live album One Man Clapping. No studio version of the track has been released.

It is a vitriolic rant at the music industry, particularly at Seymour Stein and Sire Records who had signed and then ignored James for three years.

It made periodic reappearances in the set-list in the early 1990s and was then played at a warm-up gig for the December 2008 UK tour as well as improvised at a soundcheck in Llandudno in May 2016. It was then played as a one-off at Wolverhampton Civic on 7th December 2016

LyricsReleaseAvailable OnGigsGuitar Tabs
If you don't look cool
They won't look at you
But if you image is strong
Any song will do

They'll think that the wrapping's the gift
Is a throw away stone
All we want
Is an empty throne

I feel I've been burned
I feel I've been burned
I feel I've been burned
I feel I've been burned

But I won't let it show
I won't let it show
I won't let it show
I won't let it show
I won't let it show

My belief's are all shaken
I'm lost in grief at the state I'm in
Seen too much goodness chewed up by money men
If God exists she should make us king

I feel I've been burned
I feel I've been burned
I feel I've been burned
I feel I've been burned

What must we do to make money
Sell our dreams to some Pharisee
Believe that all everyone wants is power and fame
If you won't get screwed, don't go on the game

I feel I've been burned
I feel I've been burned
I feel I've been burned
I feel I've been burned
Burned
Burned
Burned...
I've been burned
I've been burned
I've been burned... (x10)
