James Blues Songtext / Lyric

James incurred the wrath

Of a jealous woman

Not long after that

Spending all his weekends

Trying to relearn

How a young man yearns after a nurse

Poor, poor James

Most nights he has dreams

His impotent heart racing

Wakes up in a sweat

Simpleton heart racing

He throws back the sheets

Begins to weep without much feeling

Poor, poor James

Desire is what makes

Upright mammals human

Put me out to graze

Give this beast a burden

Because the universe

Makes much more sense without a purpose

Poor, poor James
