DARK SIDE aka What Are You Waiting For

Unreleased

A standard track in many of James live shows between 1983 and 1986.  Was demoed for the Strip-Mine album but did not make the final cut.

LYRICS (as performed at Salford University 24.10.86)

What in the world are you waiting for

Have you got better things to do, do, do

What, what, what in the world are you waiting for

 

I'm sick of wasting smiles

Looking down at the ground

You don't even fixate

If you looked into this or seen back in

 

Oh you always look on the dark side

Chase those clouds away

Why not look on the bright side

Or there'll be hell to pay

 

What in the world are you waiting for

Have you got better things to do

What what in the world are you waiting for

 

Without a winning face

It's all in vain

Disappears so sharp

You fill in names with the unexplained all told

 

You always look to the dark side

In everything you say

Why not, why not look on the light side

Or there'll be hell to pay

There'll be hell to pay

 

It's back to you, back to you, back to you

It's back to you, back to you, back to you

Hell to pay, hell to pay

What are you waiting for

What are you waiting for

Hell to pay
