Little Shi\*t Head

The Money

I was never that tall, not really
But thanks for remembering me that way
I used to stand straighter
When I had something to prove
But I lost that sometime in May

And no one calls her anymore
She stopped picking up years ago
But she still keeps the number
Like a monument
To someone we used to know

And the fires you mentioned — yeah, I lit a few
Just to feel something burn
But I learned you can’t trade
Ashes for warmth
It doesn’t work in reverse

You’re alone 'til you’re seen too clear
Then they blink and you're gone again
And every time I chose to leave
I swore I’d stay the next time in
But I never quite began

The debts paid themselves in silence
And the cattle grew wild again
I watched them stampede through
The garden we built
Like they knew it was pretend

I retired by vanishing slowly
Before anyone had to ask
You can’t fire a ghost
You can’t schedule a past
You just nod when the questions pass

And I’ve told the same story so many ways
I believe it now myself
Even the part
Where I saved the day
Though I mostly just watched it melt

Enjoy your youth — I said it once
Didn’t mean it as a curse
But I know how it sounds now
When your best year
Came first

I was never that tall, not really
Just had good shoes, and a quiet stance
But I showed up when I could
Even if it
Was my last dance

And the songs — you sang them wrong
But I liked your version better
And the days weren’t longer, they just felt that way
Because we held them
Tighter

You’re around 'til they look away
And that’s all I’ve come to know
If I decide to stay again
I’ll keep it soft, I’ll keep it slow
But I’ll go when I need to go

Enjoy your youth
Sounds like a sigh
Enjoy your youth
Like it’s borrowed time
But I did.
And so did you.

Hailing from a small, often overlooked town, famous for its Nori bricks, pies and a football themed milk advert.

Johnjames is shaped by both his local industrial landscape, moors, coastlines, and the relentless exploration of faith and life.

Inspired by the emotional intensity of post-punk and the reflective nature of folk music, Johnjames has carved out a niche with his unique sound, offering a fresh and meaningful take on both genres, combining acoustic guitar, with melancholy vocals and raw energy, crafting songs that are simplistic yet adventurous.
