lyrics

What do you do when you’ve had a bad day
And the four walls are closing you in?
The distant horizon is fading to grey
And your patience is fag paper thin

Your heart’s full of sorrows, your head’s full of woe
You’re a time bomb about to stop ticking
So go down to the shoreline and take off you clothes
And contemplate skinny dipping

And go swimming with sharks, swimming with sharks
You might gain a little perspective
When you're swimming with sharks, swimming with sharks
Where you know you won’t be rejected

Let the ocean seduce you and sweep you away
On a magic inflatable bed
When you come to your senses, you’re out of your depth
And in it right over your head

A familiar feeling grips you by the spine
As you realise you’re not alone
Your bodily functions are frozen in time
And you wish you were safely back home

When you’re swimming with sharks, swimming with sharks
You might gain a little perspective
When you're swimming with sharks, swimming with sharks
Where you know you won’t be rejected

As the dorsal fin circled I feared for my life
I didn’t think I would survive
But the moment it took me between those great jaws
I’ve never felt so much alive

When you’re swimming with sharks, swimming with sharks
You might gain a little perspective
When you're swimming with sharks, swimming with sharks
Where you know you won’t be rejected

"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.
