America missed out on the genius of James and Tim Booth because these guys didn't come pre-packaged and dripping with hype - which we're addicted to like dumb fool sheep. Our loss, I doubt James will ever want to play anywhere in this selfish lazy country again. We just don't recognize talent. Only money.
@joea608 Imagine the poetry here - psychologically. "Forgiveness? divine" (like, only god can forgive what you did to me) then "Revenge is more...human" (as in, I'm human it's my urge to seek revenge on you). Booth is a poet with limitless potential. To demand that what he's singing is "not a song" but a charm, a defense, a protection for him "with your name on" telling (her/him) that he's protected from their "heat" with this "beat". Love it.
Agreed.....100%! Only 235 likes and 82000 views?...What a disgrace!...Even by James' high standards this is phenomenal song! Shame people only know them for Laid and Sit Down! So many great songs. Such a great band!
@TheWombRaider112 Yea, I'd love to talk to those 2 knuckleheads. Who could "dislike" Tim Booth? Even Martians listen to his poetry. Maybe these 2 morons are somebody's parents, ya think?
i can't take it. i know it's not about me,but my son Warren left earth apr 17,2007,and before that time i listened to tim booth sing everyday,maybe harriet wheeler almost as much.my soul was ripped out.Warren i do miss you every second you're gone.
@lincolnblaho There are no words in the world which can relieve you from your pain. I miss a girl who died young and that was eighteen years ago. The pain is still there. But you need to regain your soul. Your son would want that. Never give up. Have you heard the lyrics to "Not so strong" also by James.
The whole millionaires album was on repeat when I was going through a long term Relationship breakup. This song gave me lots of strength. Thanks guys. x
I'd play this at my funeral. Such powerful, moving music by a great band.

Sounds like the lyrics are written by people who couldn't wait to destroy someone.
