Go Spine Go

L.V.S.  (Your Lady Waits)

 I recorded it quickly at home on a dare to share with dear friends for fun.  But f#$& it.  Enjoy.  Or feel uncomfortable.  Whichever.

Shayfer James - Waiting For The Miracle (Leonard Cohen Cover)

For Now Goodbye

You ran to the winning side 
I bled 
I carried everything in the cold 
You sat and you watched it happen
You’re thoughtless and you’ve normalized it 
Your heart 
Has no belief in anything 

When I was weak you stole from me 
Like a dog 
Without a thought 
 Without a soul 
You thought I would take this?
You through I'd forget this?

I was the gem you didn’t see 
 Don't you dare follow me 
Don't talk to me don't follow me 
Cause you're nothing
Now I'm powerful dog 
You're just a dog 
Don't you dare follow me
You should of put your faith in me 
Cause you're nothing 
Now I'm powerful dog

You’re such a sly dog 
You thought you had it all figured out 
You never gave enough of yourself to anything 
So you lost everything 
The jig is up 
You’re in for a rude awaking 
I see through your illusions 
And I 
Got front row seats 

 If you’re toxic 
Why did I inhale it 
You’re just a speck of dust 
That I can’t seem to flick away 
Who are you to destroy another little world 
Without a soul while it still grows 
You thought we would take this 
You thought that we'd forget this

Shayfer James (Short Bio)
Shayfer James weaves surprisingly genuine musical landscapes that evoke the gauzy, sweaty sexuality of 
gulf-coast barrooms and the fantastical, narcotic mysticism of a Lewis Carroll-inspired three-ring circus. 
Mr. James' noir-infused, piano driven music swaggers from dark danceable anthems to harrowing ballads 
with jazz lilted satire and whiskey-dirt grit. Raised with one foot in the theater and the other in a dingy 
night club, Shayfer finds inspiration as frequently in Cole Porter and Stephen Sondheim as he does in 
Fiona Apple, Danny Elfman, The Rolling Stones, Elvis Costello, The Pogues, and The White Stripes. He 
has toured the U.S., and has performed at festivals and events like CMJ NYC, Art Basel, Miami, Foburg 
Festival, New Orleans, CBGBs Festival, NYC, and Hope & Glory, Hong Kong. His songs have been 
featured by WNYC.org and Filter Magazine online, and his second album, “Counterfeit Arcade”, was 
dubbed 'New and Noteworthy' by iTunes. Shayfer has independently released two LPs and 3 EPs since  2010, with the newest EP, “Haunted Things” released in September 2015.
