James - Sunday Morning Lyrics






Sunday morning
Sunday morning
It's just a restless feeling in my side
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
It's just the wasted years so close behind
Watch out the world's behind you
Watch out someone around you who will fall
For nothing at all

Sunday morning
I am falling
I've got a feeling I don't want to go down
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
It's all the streets you crossed, not so long ago
Watch out the world's behind you
Watch out someones around you who will fall
For nothing at all

Watch out the worlds behind you
Watch out someones around you
Who will fall, for nothing at all

Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Sunday morning

Not another Sunday morning
Every day is just like a Sunday morning
Everyday waiting for a happy Monday morning

Lets go for a walk
From my Chelsea hotel
Down the sidewalks to Greenwich Village
Pass CBGBs, Max Kansas City
Lets go meet Sam Shepherd
And Robert Mapplethorpe

A knife a fork a bottle and a cork, that's the way to sell New York
A knife a fork a bottle and a cork, that's the way to sell New York
A mouth a fork a bottle and a cork, that's the way to sell New York
A knife a fork a bottle and a cork, that's the way
That's the way, that's the way to the Village

I am waiting for my man
Waiting for my man
Black leather angel
But he down work weekends, he don't work
Do do do do do do you have anything for me
Do do do do do do you know where I can score
Do you know where I can find a doctor at this, this late hour
Where I can score some sweet Jane
Some sweet Jane you're my Heroin
You're my sweet angel Heroin
My sweet black angel of Heroin
Ive got pale blue eyes and pale blue skin

    S.... P....

    +Scruffy P James covered this song themselves its a Velvet Underground song but James did a medley of lines from other famous Velvet Underground songs at the end of the song.

    S.... P....

    yeah you shouldn't try to cover the velvet underground version. It's too perfect. 

  15. E.... M....

    Best live band ever best gig ever ALTON TOWERS

    E.... M....

    I think I have the same recording, from a dude who sold radio recordings on cassette at uni (highly illegal!) must dig it out.... but I do remember Tim saying not to through shoes on stage as one hit a band member !!!1

    E.... M....

    Through soft things he said. I went on wander I was only young ... I lost the crowd then turned a corner looked down the hill & 50.000 ppl were throwing bottles at john lydon. He was telling them 2 lol. Tim said somthing about that when he said stop throwing hard thing I'm not john lydon. Lol. Welcome 2 Alton showers was July the 4th & freezing. But best gig that & heat on park 4 me x

    E.... M....

    +Lee McDougall Yep. I was there. Galliano couldn't play. PIL were shite. James were incredible.

    E.... M....

    +Eddie Mcculloch It was the first gig I ever went to (aged about 13 I think). My best mate's dad drove us both up there and I lost her as soon as the crowd ran forward and didn't find her again until after all the crowd has dispersed but I managed to be just a few rows back from the front and it completely blew my young mind wide open. It was AMAZING.

    E.... M....

    John Lydon "Any new age travellers here?" (Or words to that effect)
    Some of the crowd "Yeahhhh!"
    John Lydon "Get a fucking job!" lol

    I loved it, such a good vibe :-)

    @lurycio I'm not saying that is better , but the production is far better and more enjoyable at least for me , but the song is the same not better , but a better version , the original is a little dated on production, and i have all the V.U. records.

  35. s.... ....

    I used to have a fantastic live version on this - would love to hear it again 0_o

  36. S.... S....

    do you have a recording? I was at that gig and had a recording, but lost it - well half of it actually - i still have the first half - I can still remember being afraid of John Lydon - (i was 12)

  37. A.... K....

    i had this exact version dubbed from a friend's cd onto a cassette and i listened to it most of my teen years haha...james is an awesome band...

  38. j.... ....

    This is the best cover ever. Live at G-MEX (in the snow) was amazing as I'd never heard the song before but it immediately felt beautiful. Since then all I could get was the VU original which was great. Didn't know it was a B side for a while. Seen James plenty since but I wish they would perform this song again as I'd appreciate it so much more. Love to get this on YouTube as I've not got a video any more!!

  39. C.... E....

    James live at G MEX!! superb memories and this just brings it all back, QUALITY!!

  40. t.... ....

    i'm working on finding the live version!

  41. s.... ....

    I agree, I love this cover. I had a great live version of this on cassette around '90 - would love to hear it again.
