Is it really true
 That I've been fooled by you once again?
 Again! The first time you thrilled me 
Last time nearly killed me
 I must be insane
 But here I go again
 Again! Oh again and again and again and
 Here I go again! Well my Ma told me tales
 About wolves and white whales and then 
I would ask for more Coz I love to pretend
 I don't know how this ends
 But then you keep me in suspense
 And here I go again
 Again! Oh again and again and again and
… … here I go again!

Well I feel like Don Quixote on mezcal and peyote Taking on the windmills of my mind With a bottle of chianti and my trusty Rocinante Sancho Panza rides along behind Sancho Panza, he rides along behind Then swimming through my vision like some holy apparition To the sound, the sound of distant drums My eyes they wont believe me but my ears they don’t deceive me Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes As the fog it clears, I wake up in Ikea With a bag and a bucket and a basket and a buggy and a bucket and a bin And they rifle my possessions and start to ask me questions Like who am I and where have I been? Who am I and where have I been? I traded beads for deeds of honour, she kept a bracelet on her And there’s rings on all her fingers and her thumbs Like the ghost of Poccahantas I swear she walks among us Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes I have been a thousand places, I have seen a thousand faces But there’s only one, one that I hold dear She has brought me to my senses, bust down walls, broke down fences Now I see so brightly, now I see so clear Now I see so brightly, now I see so clear She speaks with the Orishas, she swims among the fishes She feeds me figs and dates and oranges and plums I’ve smoked her chillum, drunk her gourd I’ve held her plastic sword Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes

Danielle, Danielle How did you know? How could you tell? In the darkness and the gloom Danielle, Danielle Inside my room Danielle, Angel Ghost with a silver key I think I must be dreaming But I’m awake And it’s you leaning Over me Danielle, Danielle Welcome back again This is the lion’s den You’re walking in Danielle, Danielle While the others are asleep Pull the thorns out of my feet And lead me away Lead me away Danielle, Danielle I think this must be love But I’ve been wrong before Danielle Don’t wanna be wrong anymore Danielle, Danielle Do you feel it as well? The hot breath of their breathing On our heels as we’re leaving Danielle Danielle, Danielle Welcome back again This is the lion’s den You’re walking in Danielle, Danielle While the others are asleep Pull the thorns out of my feet And lead me away Lead me away Lead me away

Down at the bottom of the cave of hidden wonders Scratching on the walls with the needle from my compass Signs and symbols for the beasts and the birds Too dead for sound Too lost for words I have to ask myself How does it feel? Then I tell myself I don’t know but I really feel it Gimme one second I will try to reveal it Gimme one second I will try to reveal it Gimme one second I will try…! Everyday I wake up like the soul survivor of a Crash landing or a deep-sea diver Coming up for air from the bottom of the ocean On a desert island all lost and alone Cutting up a rug with an old broom handle To some lost soul music and the light of a candle I don’t know but I really feel it Gimme one second I will try to reveal it Gimme one second I will try to reveal it Deep in my cups and heading to the bottom Can’t shake the feeling there’s something I’ve forgotten Dancing around in the dust and the bones Like Time Team or Indiana Jones Everything I’ve done I’ve always kept with me I’ve got a head full of ancient history I don’t know but I really feel it Gimme one second I will try to reveal it Gimme one second I will try to reveal it Gimme one second I will try…! I traded honey for the bees sting Braved the thorns of roses but what beauty did they bring? Beauty ain’t permanent and sweetness turns sour Day after day, hour after hour Cutting up a rug like some guy from Strictly Who’s moment’s come and gone much too quickly I don’t know but I really feel it Gimme one second I will try to reveal it Gimme one second I will try to reveal it Gimme one second I will try…!

about

James Brute London, UK

James Brute is the band and alter-ego of James Steel, songwriter and frontman of 2000s East London darlings The Brute Chorus. The warp and weft of Steel’s musical narratives on love, loss and lust speak to the basest of our human instincts, pulling on themes and characters both ancient and modern; arcane and mundane. ... more
