[Verse] I met James on a Friday night He was on the scene He whispered stories in my veins Sharp lines cut clean White girl eyes gleaming under a reckless moon His burning kiss would fade too soon [Chorus] Oh Irish James you ruthless king You lift me up on a broken swing Your amber truth it burns so deep But oh your love it don’t let me sleep~ [Verse 2] He’s a phantom in the bottle A honeyed flame in my head Keeps me barely sleeping turning in my bed His promises sweet His touch so cruel Oh Jameson got a game He breaks every rule [Chorus] Oh Irish James you ruthless king You lift me up on a broken swing Your amber truth it burns so deep But oh your love it don’t let me sleep~ [Bridge] In the morning light His ghost’s no friend He’ll stick around until the bitter end But tonight he’s my shadow My wicked muse With Jameson there’s no winning You only lose~ [Chorus] Oh Irish James you ruthless king You lift me up on a broken swing Your amber truth it burns so deep But oh your love it don’t let me sleep~
