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!)
