James Morrison


Yes its true I love straight forward middle of the road POP too especially when it's performed by some truly talented musician who sings with the heart.
Check this video and I think you'll agree.

James Morrison (born James Morrison Catchpole in 1984) is an English singer/songwriter. 
As he says his musical influences include Al Green, Otis Redding, Cat Stevens and the Kinks,
and I would say there is bit hidden The Beatles and the Crosby, Stills & Nash (and Young) in some songs too
In 2006, he débuted with single "You Give Me Something", which became a hit single around Europe and Japan. His debut album, Undiscovered, went straight to number one in the UK and has sold more than 1 million copies worldwide (as of 24 December 2006).

The best numbers from the "Undiscovered" album up to me:

The Pieces Don`t Fit Anymore (lyrics)

I've been twisting and turning,
In a space that's too small.
I've been drawing the line and watching it fall,
You've been closing me in, closing the space in my heart.
Watching us fading and watching it all fall apart.

Well I can't explain why it's not enough, Cause I gave it all to you.
And if you leave me now, oh just leave me now.
Its the better thing to do,
Its time to surrender,
Its been to long pretending.
Theres no use in trying,
When the pieces dont fit anymore, Pieces dont fit here anymore.

You pulled me under,
I had to give in.
Such a beautiful myth,
Thats breaking my skin.
Well i'll hide all the bruises,
I'll hide all the damage thats done.
But I show how Im feeling until all the feeling has gone.




Call The Police

I'm done, shoot your gun,
i think it's time to take it back to where we started from,
your pain, my pain,
I'll write it down and teel you exactly how i feel again.

and all i see,
is a mass of confusion, who i am and what i gotta be,
yeah.

closed eyes, big lines,
i guess you'll tell me just to let it ride sometimes,
looks good, tastes bad,
makes me wonder where i buried all the dreams i had.

all I see,
is a lees good version of a man i dont wanna be.
all i feel,
is you tie me down to something that just isnt real.
all i need,
is some truth god help me,
before the devil buries me.

yeah

i cant do nothing, if i cant do something my way,
well i must be crazy if i follow every word you say.
when the shit comes down, you'll be the first to walk away.

[chorus[
call the police,
coz i've lost control and i really wanna see you bleed.

i'm awake, why wait?
i dont need someone to tell me who to be today.
i'm quite sure, unlike before,
came off the road and i forgot what i was looking for.

all i see,
is a lees good version of a man i dont wanna be.
all i feel,
is you tie me down to something that just isnt real.
all i need,
is some truth god help me,
before the devil buries me, yeah.

i cant do nothing, if i cant do something my way,
well i must be crazy if i follow every word you say.
when the shit comes down, you're the first to walk away

[chorus]

you can't just hack at me, you know,
you might just, have to let me go.
close in, i need some room to grow,
you dont, know what you're thinking of.
hiding behind you're pop sheet,
so you, can reck someone elses dream.

[chorus]

i cant do nothing, if i cant do something my way,

well i must be crazy if i follow every word you say.

when the shit comes down, you'll be the first to walk away.

[chorus]

all i feel,
is you tie me down to something that just isnt real.
all i need,
is some truth god help me,
before the devil buries me, yeah.
