Sad, old James is hiding in his own lonely room
Crying for the past friends he will never meet again

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Lives in the country; he owns a farm
Always alone, but he's got his own charm

He's got so much heartache

Ah, ah, ah, ah

He deserves a chance to come back to life
He deserves a chance to be civilised
He deserves a chance to come back to life
He deserves a chance to be civilised

Sad, old James does not regret anything he's done
Likes to keep it all inside, just waiting for a sorrow day

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Why does he punish himself so hard?
Oh, sad, old James, stop living in the dark

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Sometimes he likes to fly
He just wants to be free
Getting low and high
He's got no guarantee
That life is gonna get better

Ah, ah

(Hey!)
La-la lalalala
La-la lalalala (woo-hoo!)
La-la lalalala (a-ha!)
