I Remember When.
I remember when I saw the sea freeze,
But it said nothing about the birds and the bees.
They were swarming around my head,
Singing you'd be better off dead.
But I ain't going down like that,
No I ain't going down like that.
Because I'm better than him,
And I know where I've been.
And I know where I'm comin' from.
A lie is a sin, but don't we all sin?
If that is the truth, then the truth is grim.
Now he's in jail, and his story is for sale.
The farmers dog wags his crippled tail,
It points to the West, and leaves out the rest,
And invites you to be his special guest.
I remember when I saw the leaves fall.
I was in the woods, in a gown you wouldn't wear to the ball,
Into the ditch I fly,
Wanted dead or alive.
But I ain't going down like that,
No I ain't going down like that.
Because I'm better than him,
And I know where I've been.
And I know where I'm comin' from.
A lie is a sin, but don't we all sin?
If that is the truth, then the truth is grim.
Now he's in jail, and his story is for sale.
The farmers dog wags, his crippled tail,
It points to the West and leaves out the rest.
Because I'm better than him,
And I know where I've been.
And I know where I'm comin' from.
A lie is a sin, but don't we all sin?
If that is the truth, then the truth is grim.
Now Stop!

Track 2 on "The Coral".
A superb track which was broadcast from Glastonbury on BBC 2. This song changes tempo at least twice, and James' voice roars like a lion!
