Song information
Artist: Kate Bush Album: Kick Inside
Lyrics
James, come on home You've been gone too long, baby We can't let our hero Die alone
We miss you day and night You left town to live by the rifle You left us to fight But it just ain't right to take away the light
Remember genie from the casino? She's still a-waiting in that big brass bed The boys from your gang are knocking whisky back 'Til they get out of hand and wish they were dead They're only lonely for the life that they led With their old friend
Ooh, james, are you selling your soul to a cold gun? Selling your soul to a Ooh, james, are you selling your soul to a cold gun?
Where lies your heart? It's not there in the buckskin, baby It's not there in the gin That makes you laugh long and loud
You're a coward, james You're running away from humanity You're running away from reality It won't be funny when they rat-a-tat-tat you down
Remember genie from the casino? She's still a-waiting in that big brass bed The boys from your gang are knocking whisky back 'Til they get out of hand and wish they were dead They're only lonely for the life that they led With their old friend
Ooh, james, are you selling your soul to a cold gun? Selling your soul to a Ooh, james, are you selling your soul to a cold gun?
