lyrics

Are you halfway here? Are you halfway to Mexico?
Will you pillage on your way to the blue lake
people used to say, sits somehow on the sea?

You are on my mind. Are you in my body too?
When the need goes away will the wanting stay?
Will you sit seven days hanging on guilty dreams?

Are you halfway here? Are you halfway to Mexico?
Will you pillage on your way to the blue lake
people used to say, sits somehow on the sea?

I would hang from a tree if I could know the holy fall
Make a river of me so I can leave that way,
and I don’t have to stay on a wheel inside a wheel.

James Irwin Toronto, Ontario

Despite shifting from outsider folk to low-fi 80s pop to indie rock and back, the mood and lyrical voice of James Irwin's music has always been unmistakable.
Bandmates used to call it "Jamesing”.
