Cool James

(album: Little By Little... - 2005)

Can I have this? Perfect conversations. (perfect conversations)
Or coast on silence, lowered expectations out the door
You spend half your life talking, trying to get a pause in edgewise
Swallow poison tongues, oppose your thumbs, believe in nothing
Can I have a nature change? (one more time.)
Can I have a nature change? (cause the bastard changes.)

Can I have this? See how so much time has wasted
Take a clenched fist, and see how quiet calm replaced it
Say you'll never trust again (I'll never trust again)
Who has time? you've given up on ever finding the one you've been waiting for, but
Can I have a nature change? (one more time.)
Can I have a nature change? (cause the bastard changes)

I've got no more time to spend on arguers, devil's advocates,
Or nasty bits, or fits of desperation.
Lawrence of Arabia, Sir Alec said to Peter:
"What I owe you is beyond evaluation."

Extend to me your hand, I'll nibble on your fingers
Bend to me your sweet ear, I'll gnaw it from its hinges
Can I have a nature change? (one more time.)
That's why ladies love cool James (cause the bastard changes.)
