Lyrics:

Oh they say that you're a hero, i'm telling you you're not. You're just a puppy for more war, a dumb civvy could not clock. I'm not saying i'm not sorry because being honest is not fun but you're nothing more to me than a moron with a gun.

Oh come on! Tell me, tell me i'm wrong. Come on! Tell me, tell me i'm wrong. Come on! Tell me, tell me. Kick up the bucket and tell me oh, tell me, tell me i'm wrong.

So young Kurty took your leg, what a vicious cooking border. Bet you wished you'd stayed in bed instead of taking on those orders. No i've not been in your boots but I think its safe to say; we all make our own choices and killing's not ok, killing's not ok.

Oh tell me, tell me i'm wrong. Come on! Tell me, tell me i'm wrong. Come on! Tell me, tell me. Kick up the bucket and tell me oh. Tell me, tell me i'm wrong.

Oh now there's one thing I know, it's the law of attraction. A science of fate you can act on. I know she's real cause i've seen her in action. On the fickle and the frail, the certain, strong and sick. Though you'll never understand cause you're a stubborn son of a prick. Stubborn son of a prick. Come On!

Tell me, tell me i'm wrong. Come on! Tell me, tell me i'm wrong. Come on! Tell me, tell me. Kick up the bucket and tell me oh. Tell me, tell me i'm wrong. Tell me I'm wrong.

Tell Me I'm Wrong

Lyrics:

You want the fire but you don't like flame. Bend like a rubber but you can't erase, all the lies that I told, the love that I hold for you.

They say I tell the truth attractively. Ok maybe baby thats just me, cause i'm wired just like a sinner, I'm the saint inside the mirror you see.

Oh I'm a real dead ringer, trying to deliver. I'm the ghost of the boy that you knew. So get it out of your head, oh get back to bed cause i'm not quite through with you yet. Dead ringer, dead ringer yeah. Dead ringer, dead ringer yeah.

You keep me la la la la lusting for your loins, like them coked up cats who can't stop killing the coin. Oh i'm down i'm not out still i'm in with a shout always. So to cut up and run now where'd be the fun without pain.

Oh I'm a real dead ringer, trying to deliver. I'm the ghost of the boy that you knew. So get it out of your head, oh get back to bed cause i'm not quite through with you yet. Dead ringer, dead ringer yeah. Dead ringer, dead ringer yeah.

Dead ringer, dead ringer, dead ringer, dead ringer, dead ringer, dead ringer yeah.

Dead Ringer

Something I did for Team Saatchi, the video is out of sync....you can't have everything!

Hard Road To Travel

Gregory Alan Isakov - Big Black Car

Paddy James, like all classic singer/songwriters, thrives on stories found in the mischief and melancholy of everyday life. His efforts are contemporary yet drawn from influences rooted in folk, rock, pop & soul. Paddy describes a certain ‘nostalgic optimism’ to his writing style that aims to deliver an ever hopeful and honest message. 

At the heart of everything lies his powerful, dynamic vocal which has drawn comparisons to the likes of Jeff Buckley & Paolo Nutini. Anybody who has witnessed a live performance will understand this magic and gentle charm only too well. 

For his most recent recorded efforts James has teamed up with Isle of White production duo Boe Weaver (Rhys Lewis, Whyte Horses) all of which have been championed by BBC introducing in the South & Amazing Radio. The latter part of 2023 sees the next batch of releases from this continued collaboration starting with indie stomper ‘Closer’ following a headline London show at the Bedford in Balham on November 1st.
