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
