People can change

We must be living in a shooting gallery
I take pot-shots at you you take pot-shots at me
I hit the target but I didn’t get a prize
I was sad to see the tears were welling in your gorgeous eyes

So I sit on the round-a-about and watch you on the slide
I think I love you but I really can’t decide
Too many contradictions spinning in my head
I found the answer in a fortune cookie this is what it said

People can change and they often do
There’ll always be someone with an opposite view
You just re-arrange an opinion or two
If some people change then so can you


We’re on a journey but we do not need a guide
Just trust your intuition and the way you feel inside
You’ll never find the answers blaming someone else
You can’t expect to change the world but you can change yourself

You don’t have to love the things you hate
Just close your mouth and tolerate
Open your mind its not too late
Use your imagination
It doesn’t matter what you own
We’re only made of skin and bone
You’re going to find you own way home
And very soon you’ll learn
You only get one chance
And its your turn

People can change and they often do
There’ll always be someone with an opposite view
You just re-arrange an opinion or two
If some people change then so can you

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.
