Kate Bush - James and the Cold Gun lyrics

[Kate Bush - James and the Cold Gun lyrics]

James, come on home
You've been gone too long, baby
We can't let our hero die alone
We miss you day and night
You left town to live by the rifle
You left us to fight
But it just ain't right to
Take away the light

Remember Genie, from the casino?
She's still a-waiting in the big brass bed
The boys from your gang
Are knocking whiskey back
'Till they get out of hand
And wish they were dead
They're only lonely for the life that
They led with their old friend

Ooh-wahoo ooh ooh wahoo oohoo oohoo ooh
Wahoo oohoo oohoo
James, are you selling your soul


To a cold gun?

Where lies your heart?
It's not there in the buckskin, baby
It's not there in the gin that
Makes you laugh long and loud
You're a coward, James
You're running away from humanity
You're running out on reality
It won't be funny when they
Rat-a tat tat you down

Remember Genie, from the casino?
She's still a-waiting in the big brass bed
The boys from your gang
Are knocking whiskey back
'Till they get out of hand
And wish they were dead
They're only lonely for the life that
They led with their old friend

Ooh-wahoo ooh ooh wahoo oohoo oohoo ooh
Wahoo oohoo oohoo
James, are you selling your soul
Oohoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
To a cold gun?
