about

lyrics

Keeping up appearances is just a waste of time
A waste of his a waste of hers a waste of yours and mine
Disposable acquaintances abbreviated sentences
Nothing seems to matter when the world is in decline

A little bit of what I need a lot of what I don’t
I can’t resist temptation it’s got me by the throat
Statistical analysis there’s only one way out of this
The water’s getting deeper and I forgot to build a boat

Darling put your hand in mine forever be my valentine
As long as we’re together we can keep ourselves afloat

Be yourself be yourself you’re not like anybody else
You’re a perfect individual a blessing and a miracle
Be yourself be yourself don’t be afraid to ask for help
I’ll be there when you need me even if you cannot see me

Sitting with my back against the wall facing the sun
Wondering how I got here and where I’m going when I’m gone
It’s time to call a favour in we all end up where we begin
Another battle’s over in a war that can’t be won

Darling put your hand in mine forever be my valentine
It’s hard to leave a party when we’re having so much fun

Be yourself be yourself you’re not like anybody else
You’re a perfect individual a blessing and a miracle
Be yourself be yourself don’t be afraid to ask for help
I’ll be there when you need me even if you cannot see me

Jim Pearson UK

"You never can be sure what kind of project Jim will come up with next, but you can always be sure it's gonna be pretty darn good." Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music.

Jim's songs range from the whimsical to some of the most bitter and somber themes, yet always with a paradoxical childlike spirit that meets them head-on – wide-eyed and full of hopeful energy.
