James - Really Hard Lyrics
To be loving when the knives are out
Takes much courage and a mind without doubt
I'm just some robot, wind up the clockwork jerk
Trying to impress is the nature of my work
If it's true, it can't be spoken
Really hard
Really hard
Rhetoriticians think they're running this show
Words as power is all they'll ever know
I'm just some reflex, when struck, the knee will jerk
Trying to impress is the nature of our work
If you bend, you won't get broken
Really hard
Really hard
Wake up from this dreaming state
A long scream out, it's not too late
I am dying to begin
I am dying to begin again
Really hard
Really hard

James Really Hard Comments
Checkout my profile photo excellent album
Poet shirts are so cool
Brings back so many memories
oops..do you younger gens know what EP is ?
Grover Bennington extended player pal im 20 and have a collection of vinyls you wouldn’t believe, you stubborn old bastards dont always know best ;) but im also young enough to know tim booth is in batman aswell fun fact
..mistake..Vinyl EP version is the best.
Album version is so beautiful..
Awesome - I was studying at Bath Uni as an Open University student and was on a top floor of block of flats just as the hot air balloon festival kicked in.....listening to this - I was watching the spectacle of the balloons listening to this. Wow
love this version
Sooo many fab memories of the 80s...
Love it, first heard it on Tape then went to a Record fair and bought it for 10 pound, obviously the dealer did not know what a brand new copy of One man clapping is worth especially on CD as there is an extra track, still got it and would never part with the memories.
I have just read it's Tim's favourite song from the album
Where did you read that?
Today, 24th December 2016 I'm listening to this marvellous song that I needed.
Great memories many thanks
Cant begin to tell you how much i love this band, so much so they inspired me to form one of my own and im gigging to this very day. Loved my manchester days.......
THE best best album ever - i wish I could get my hands back on it instead of coming here everyday
The Roses, Mondays, Carpets and Charlatans were all great, don't get me wrong but the weren't James were they?! Just a great voice and what sound the boys behind made...
James are quite simply superb. The closest thing to tuneful philosophy
beautiful song by a criminally underrated band! if pushed to choose my favourite james album i'd go for one man clapping..
woow beautiful To be loving when the knives are out
Takes much courage and a mind without doubt
Aye ya-yi, aye aye aye aye aye aye.
