Bring me back to life
Never let me go
Your troubles and your hard strife
I saw them
Take me by the hand
As we cross through battlefields
Nobody understands
'Cause there's nobody at the wheel

Beautiful James
I don't wanna wake you
Beautiful James
I don't wanna wake you

Everybody lies
One hundred times a day
The silence in your hard eyes
Is far too rare to give away
And it's exactly why I stay

Beautiful James
I don't wanna wake you
Beautiful James
I don't wanna wake you
(Don't wanna wake you)
Beautiful James
(Don't wanna wake you)
I don't wanna wake you
(Don't wanna wake you)
Beautiful James
(Don't wanna wake you)
I don't wanna wake you

Though I may have to
I may have to
I may have to

(Don't wanna wake you)
Beautiful James
(Don't wanna wake you)
I don't wanna wake you
(Don't wanna wake you)
Beautiful James
(Don't wanna wake you)
I don't wanna wake you

Yeah, seems a dodgy claim to me.

I'd put it much higher.

Beautiful James, I don't wanna wake you
Beautiful James, I don't wanna wake you
Beautiful James, I don't wanna wake you
Beautiful James, I don't wanna wake you
 
Poor James, he can't get any sleep!
 
BTW, this sounds an awful lot like the band "James".

I find this band has the same effect on me as the real one. Very nice.

I"m trying to figure this song out. It sounds tragic, and I really like it, but don't quite get what it might be referencing. Any insights are welcome...

Love the sound, big fan of Placebo. Less of a fan of Brian's 'tash :D

I can't be the only Southern Californian that pictures this face when he's singing the chorus:

Now that you mention it there is a similar tone there, but I knew it was Placebo immediately.  Good to see a new one from them.

Definitely like his voice.   Going with a 7 rating on first listen.


Alpine Stars for one.

Such a long break since the last album! Very excited to hear the whole thing -- even their weaker albums have some song that totally blows me away. "Too Many Friends" on the last one I listened to constantly after my grandmother died.

Cool song. I like the driving feel and the synth hook.

Great to see them back.  Immediate 7 straight out of the box and sure to climb.  Thanks again RP.
