James

I bought the new Camera Obscura album. As irony strikes again, there's one song in there that hits me where it hurts and hits me where it's right. The song is called "James". The English version or translation for Diego is no other than James. The lyrics, the melody, the style, it's all in there, in that one song. It's all serendipitous. It's all correct. I sing as if I wrote it.

James by Camera Obscura

James he came to my place
He said he had to see my face
He hopes that we can still be friends
In his own way he'll love me until the end
James he came to the door
Wanting to know for sure
Why love gets up and goes
I'm sorry but it had no place to grow
Oh James my love for you is stronger don't you know?
I'd like to celebrate you dear
All in all it's been a pretty good year
I looked deep inside myself
I got scared by just how hard I fell
Oh James you broke me I thought I knew you well
You and me
Honey and Bee
Sun and the Moon
I'll be fine by June
I could tell that you worried well
Oh James you broke me
I thought I knew you well
Oh James you broke me
I thought I knew you well
Can't you see you belong with me
I could tell you weren't well
Oh James you broke me
I thought I knew you well
Oh James you broke me
I thought I knew you well.
