James: Porcupine live @ Brixton 16-12-08

Lyrics (this version):

Knock knock knock, my house is always open
Check your smile and leave it on the floor
There's no room in here for jailors and their victims
Porcupine
Porcupine

Here we go again
Here we go again

In this house everything is open
Why shield yourself with quills and feints and lies?
It's not the words you use but by whom they are spoken
Porcupine
Porcupine

At the end of the rope
I surrender control
Diving into the fall
I depend on your help

At the end of the rope
I surrender control
Diving into the fall
I depend on your help

Here we go again
Here we go again
Here we go again

On my back the weight of our defences
You're a skunk and I'm a porcupine
Our weaponry's evolved upon heightened senses
Porcupine
Porcupine

At the end of the rope
I surrender control
Diving into the fall
I depend on your help

At the end of the rope
I surrender control
Diving into the fall
I depend on your help

At the end of the rope
I surrender control
Diving into the fall
I depend on your help

At the end of the rope
I surrender control
Diving into the fall
I depend on your help
------------
Here we go again
Here we go again
Here we go again
Here we go again

basil what a great video - I was there but couldnt really remember it. My friend Penny kept telling me they had a great new song at the time. And my 12 year old keeps telling me its a great song. So its great to find such a brilliant recording.

Thanks (again)

Seb

Thanks Seb. Inevitably took a few knocks whilst filming so the clip is not as steady as I'd have wished, but given it's the only complete video of this on YouTube I'm so glad I persevered.

What a song! What a band!

[nightscapemedia]

Very cool recording. I'll have to try recording a new cover with these updated lyrics. :)

[basilvictorhomer]

I'm totally addicted to this song so I really look forward to that. I'm not 100% certain of the new lyrics though - there is too much background noise.

The cover you have already posted is wonderful. I posted a comment to this effect a couple of weeks ago but it somehow disappeared into the ether .

[eck1997]

Now its my turn to be impressed with you Tony!!

[basilvictorhomer]

Cheers Alex. How about uploading another of your rare tracks?

[teekasule]

[gillyrosh]

the Dublin concert was finally sold out - and was a brilliant concert. See Basils recording of shes a star and one of their new songs - shine which the audio is not so good on but it will be a big song.
