lyrics

Tell me creature in the night
Is the child made of clay?
Does he whisper out of sight
In the coming new age?
All who hear him are destroyed,
All connections torn away,
Coded signals in the dark
Making Jack of Dried Clay.
As he wipes away the dust,
As he sinks into decay,
As an engine made to rust
Takes the final man away.
Well alright, alright, alright
You’ve noticed, by now,
You’ve noticed we’re just going around and around
You’ve noticed, we’re just going around and around,
You’ve noticed.
Tell me what I oughta say,
Spitting diamonds in the dirt
Carefully disposing of
Every creature formed of hurt
When she calls is it a ghost
With a heart like a gun
Tied backwards to the earth
Spinning deathly round the sun?
Make the most of what you are
Just before your final spark
Just beyond your final thought
Silent whispers in the dark
Well alright, alright, alright
You’ve noticed, by now,
You’ve noticed we’re just going around and around
You’ve noticed, we’re just going around and around,
You’ve noticed, yeah
Tell me is this what you say,
That the earth has shot it’s lungs
If destruction is your name
And the final chord is strung
If the final war is won
If we’ve reached our final day
If the child in your heart
Turns to Jack of Dried Clay
Well alright, alright, alright
You’ve noticed, by now,
You’ve noticed we’re just going around and around
You’ve noticed, we’re just going around and around,
You’ve noticed, we're just going around.

James' albums are conceptual in nature and weave his philosophical meanderings into "fun" and maybe strange melodical melancholical chansons. James is always writing new music for reasons which escape him momentarily. ... more
