lyrics

When I was young I didn’t know what I was going to be
I’ve never had a target, action-plan or strategy
I’ve been swimming with the tide so long I must have lost my way
These rubber rings and water wings keep my head above the waves

Does anybody have the secret of success?
I don’t think I’ll be happy ‘till I’m getting more for doing less

How long will it take ‘till we catch on?
Nobody wants to rock the boat so we act like nothing’s wrong

Anyone can wear a business suit with holes cut in the pockets
So get down on your hands and knees if you want to scrape a profit
You can’t keep all your hopes and dreams in safety deposit boxes
‘Cos all the money in the world won’t compensate your losses

Does anybody have the secret of success?
I don’t think I’ll be happy ‘till I’m getting more for doing less

How long will it take ‘till we catch on?
Nobody wants to rock the boat so we act like nothing’s wrong

"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.
