James - Better Than That Lyrics

❤❤❤❤

Heard it live on Sunday, a great song live !!! Thanks James

Brilliant :)

the buildup to the horns is just divine. Whilst they were trying to not go back to the James sound I'm glad they kept it on the album.

Still alive and kicking after all these years. Great Tim Booth and company!

Just the bestest band ever

This made me wiggle.....

you can't do better than that

James are just amazing

Awesome

going down under on november wohoo!!

If I could dance in my car.....

Grande musica dessa banda que sabe envelhecer como vinho quanto mais velhos ficam melhores sit daw

Brilliant live!!! Going to be a concert classic

Just seen the boys on ‘Later live... with Jools Holland’ brilliant performance as always guys....loved it and love ‘Better than that’. That old staple “Sit Down” at the end was nice but I do wish you’d done something like “Attention” or “Interrogation” instead. Don’t ever stop.

Live like today's your last day.....

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! PLEASE COME BACK TO TORONTO!!!!!!

Epic comeback song ✌🏻

This is why I love James! They keep producing great tracks! Hank is so cool love it! :)

keyboards on the chorus sounds like Duchess by the Stranglers

Exelente canción para la semana de exámenes

Hit me again & give it some impact....
Hit me again, I'll show you where I crack..

I can imagine a music video consisting of emojis.

im. obsessed.

Lovin it!!! :) Will never tire of listening to James!

oban here we come try an do better than that

I love this band so much! Thank you!!!!

Ha! Digital dissonance meets classic James lyrics and their typical chords plus chorus flowers to boot! Brilliant!🍀

The instrumental movement here reminds me of bits of Deathcab for cutie, which, for me is a cool thing since deathcab came afterwards of James.

You can do better than that......

Hit me again & give it some impact...

Life comes to rattle your cage....

great !!!!!!!!....as always!!

Does anyone else think that the opening of the song especially sounds like The Killers/ Brandon Flowers?

If only they had left of the shockingly naff bvs. What were they thinking?

Can't wait to see new songs performed live, thankfully the guys still have the stamina and love of creating music to take to the road and play live for us fans, and that is what they excel at.

You can do better than that.............

Today's your last day, not tomorrow's.

You're coming out of your way, live like tomorrow's your last day...... You can do better than that....

su talento su estilo simplemente inigualable james por siempre

Looking forward to the music video for this.

Awake this song has found you, asleep, at the wheel, of your car...

Love love this. So moreish.

Hit me again & give it some impact...you can do better than that..

30 seconds to crescendo....

2:49 onwards becomes like an increasing orgasm.

I never thought James could get any better, I was so wrong ! The latest two albums are so amazing I love every song , and there are no other bands that I can listen to each track and not have to skip a song or two. James are still amazing!

Love it

Good song. Tim's vocal is reminiscent of Early James.

Cant wait to see this live at Boro Town Hall next Month. James just keep producing great sounds and Tim just keeps delivering with his vocals.

I post here the lyrics from the marvelous site www.oneofthethree.com where you can find excellent information about this wonderful band.

BETTER THAN THAT
Awake
This song has found you
Asleep at the wheel of your car
You’re boring; bored; unengaged
Life comes to rattle your cage

You can do better than that
Hit me again and give it some impact
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
You can do better than that
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Hit me again and show me where I crack

This naked ape
So out of shape
Sedated by hi-tech
Wants fame on a plate
Though water flows round rocks
Its path don’t deviate

You can do better than that
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Hit me again and give it some impact
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
You can do better than that
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Hit me again and show me where I crack
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
You can do better than that

You’re coming out of your way
Live like today's your last day

You can do better than that
Hit me again and give it some impact
You can do better than that
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Hit me again and show me where I crack
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
You can do better than that

Fantabulous!

Love it

Great, great song. You keep working with so much honesty... Gracias James

Surprises with a fresh start then offers a chorus to whistle on the way home.

WOW!!!!

This has to be my new theme song: "Staying Alive" was getting really old!

My favourite band off all time. From gone home to now. Tim and the band are brilliant x x

Muy buena rola!! Como todo lo que hace James. Tim, gracias por existir.
Saludos de su fan número 1 desde México City!!!!

Oh wow new James! I love this track, instantly a win. So happy they made it. Love Tim Booth and James.

They Just Keep It Going And Going PERFECTLY Every Single F#£_&n' Time... DEEEEEEAR GOD!
How Is It Possible!!!???

The Best Band Alive.

I wasn't keen on the first listen, on the second it's starting to get to me (in a good way). That's happened to me before with JAMES and some tracks have gone on to become absolute favourites. It's really interesting how many comments reflect my reaction too. I love that you continually challenge us and aren't afraid to share stuff we don't expect.

awesome

Omg James. You've nailed it. It's gonna be a tune to go down in history. This live will bring the house/field down. We ❤️ Manchester.

First I was like..Meh!, then Mmmm, then Ahhh! Now? YEAH! Can't wait to see what they do with it live.

Una que confunde los solteros con casados, que lio, noo?? 🤔

brilliant as always....😉

Yest it's great

OK OK > concertina-Top-LeVeL > A.V.Play>Marconi>

Too noisy beat and not melodic enough for me. Sounds like an average b-side.

Oh my this song grows on you 😏😏

I may be getting it. it's took about 40 odd listens but I may have to admit it's grown on me a bit. I was wrong to say it's poor. Just wanted it to be a great first release which for me it's not.... yet ! :)

¡Muy buen regreso! Nos habéis dejado con todas las ganas de escuchar el EP al completo. ¡Bravo!

Engage the beast...though the synths in the chorus remind me of Blockbusters

What a load of crap! Why on earth was this suggested to me - did they pay for it to be suggested to people?

OMG!!!!!! love it. most exellent james. keep them coming.

a back to the origin (stutter)

Excellent. Classic Tim vocal with a chorus which sounds like "The Who". Huge thumbs up. BTW "Whiteboy" should have been a huge hit.

Bravo! amazing, I almost twisted my trousers. I'm really looking forward to Halifax for a concert. Greetings from Czech Republic

James ♥♥♥

ΓΑΜΕΙ !

Reminds me of whiplash album

brilliant

Great! Come back to Peru!

Love James but this just sounds like their trying way too hard. I really want to like it but to me it's poor. After the brilliant Girl at.... album this is very disappointing.

We are always Waiting for new! New is always best! The master TIM put us crazy, dancing, singing , jumping and flying away...

Cool Music! greetings from La Oroya Perú.
<3

Going to watch them in Scarborough in August,can't wait😎

Fantastic!

dont think you can "do better than that boys BRILL

This song has found us.............. Songs are like people.. They find us to make us better .. than that.. 30 years James work on that :-))

Love it!

JAMES ....UMA BANDA QUE NUNCA VEIO NO BRASIL E NENHUM FESTIVAL COMPETENTE TRAZ ...SORRY

A gift; thank you James

Adding another comment :D ...after so many listens i love even more ...for the fact i hear "old"James in the percussion which is the best thing ever ...and also, is it just me or does the chorus remind anyone of Carter U.S.M ? :P

I thought Carter too.

Lyrics please ?

It seems I've fallen in love again.
Like I did 33 years ago !

Friggin' good! Love JAMES!

ordered everything and can't wait to hear them play these tracks Live
