Biography

James is an indie / alternative rock group from the UK. [b]Please do not use this profile for any other artists named James.[/b] James was formed in Manchester in 1982 by founding members [a=Jim Glennie], [a=Tim Booth], [a=Larry Gott], and [a=Gavan Whelan]. The group was signed one year later to [a=Anthony H. Wilson]'s infamous [l=Factory] record label, but only a few years later were snapped up by the major label [l=Sire Records Company]. James' early 1980s folk / indie sound would garner them impressive underground status before they would become big chart toppers from the mid-to-late 1980s. 1989 single [url=https://www.discogs.com/master/710067-James-Sit-Down]"Sit Down"[/url], issued by the seminal indie record label [l=Rough Trade], reached #2 in the UK singles charts and, in 1991, was followed by the #2 album [url=https://www.discogs.com/master/3646-James-Seven]"Seven"[/url]. The group continued to find success with the 1993 album "Laid", its simultaneously-recorded nocturnal sister, 1994's "Wah Wah", and 1997's "Whiplash" (released in 1997 just after the UK's mid-90s Britpop explosion.) The band released two additional albums before initially splitting up in 2001. James reunited in 2007 and remains active as of 2024.

LYRICS

All this frustration
I can't meet all my desires
Strange conversation
Self-control has just expired
All an illusion
Only in my head you don't exist
Who are you fooling
Don't need a shrink but an exorcist

Show me the movie
Of who you are and where you're from
Born of frustration
Caught up in the webs you've spun
Where's the confusion
A vision of what life is like
Show me the movie
That doesn't deal in black and white

Stop stop talking about who's to blame
When all that counts is how to change

All this frustration
All this frustration
Who put brown owl eyes on the butterfly's wings
All this frustration
All this frustration
Who gave the leopards spots and taught the birds to sing

Born of frustration
Born of frustration

I'm living in the weirdest dream
Where nothing is the way it seems
Where no one's who they need to be
Where nothing seems that real to me
How can we build our lives upon
No wall of stone, no solid ground
The world is spinning endlessly
We're clinging to our own beliefs

Born of frustration
Born of frustration
