I'm so alone tonight,
my bed feels larger than when I was small,
lost in memories,
lost in all the sheets and old pillows,
I'm so alone tonight,
miss you more than I could let you know,
miss the outline of your back,
miss you breathing down my neck,

oh, they're all out to get you,
once again, they're all out to get you,
once again..

Insecure, whatcha gonna do?
feel so small they could step on you,
called you up, answering machine
when the human touch is what I need, what I need
is you. I need you.

looked in the mirror,
I don't know who I am anymore
the face is familiar but the eyes,
the eyes give it all away..

here they come again, here they come again, here they come
again.. they're all out to get you, once again
they're all out to get you.. once again

A good tune actually, while not the best on this album, it is actually better if you hear it within the context of the album. Their best album by far!

You didn't know because you live in Cleveland.

I first heard James when they opened for Neil Young at Red Rocks in the early nineties (go figure). They literally had to force them to stop playing so the next act, John Hammond as I recall, could come on. I've had this album since and I never get tired of it. When my ex took it in the divorce I went out and bought another copy. There are lots of good songs on it.

Now I do not mind alittle repetition now and again, but this sounds like it's skipping! Oh brother! pmb 8^)

Bill - definitely need more James on RP. I was shocked to see this was the only one you\'ve played. Laid\'s got some fabulous songs on it, try PS. Also the recent album Millionaires has 3 or 4 great tracks.

That irritating repetition of "what I need" ruins the otherwise decent song for me. Sounds like the guy ran out of ideas at that point of the song. Someone should have helped him.

Oh, OK. Click on the damned AMG link. DOH! Manchester, eh? Yet another case of "Eno influence". Yeah, I can hear that. Well, thanks for educating this old fart.
