James and Brian Eno: Wah Wah 1993


23 compositions written by James and Brian Eno , recorded at Real World during " The Laid Sessions "

1993 . Improvisations are almost always the seeds for James' songs . The music is always on the edge of breakdown , held together by taut threads , semi-formed , evolving , full of beautifull , unrepeatable collisions and exotic collusions .
Level changes in near-total darkness , leaving us to wander round our new landscapes .

This is a great album !!!

                                                          



MARIA

There's a Malayan stripper of sex unknown
Some Siamese twins from a broken home
Maria's party, what a show going down
Maria loves her life, but she'll show you how
There's a strong man tearing himself into pieces
A magician who will spin you on the end of his spinderly fingers
There's a show going on
Maria loves her life, she'll show you how, how, how

There's a high wire act on the telephone wire
And another Buddhist monk has set himself on fire
There's a fakir outside being buried alive
Maria's mad aunt has yet to arrive
A dahlia that dances, and a frog with wings,
A bear in a tutu that just loves to sing, karaoke

Maria loves her life, and that's all, and that's all, and that's all.

You will love her forever when the scene hits your town

You will love her forever
You will all love her forever
Maria's Party
And that's all.

                                                                     


TOMORROW

I see you falling
How long to go before you hit the ground
You keep on screaming
Don't you see me here
Am I a ghost to you

Now your grip's too strong
Can't catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your luck will change tomorrow
Tomorrow

Why are you phoning
What am I to do when you're miles away
You're always calling from the darkest moods and we're both scared

Now your grip's too strong
Can't catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your love will change


I'm just out of your range
Tomorrow
All your suffering's in vain
Tomorrow

Now your grip's too strong
Can't catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your love will change tomorrow

I got out of your range
Tomorrow
All your suffering seems vain
Change tomorrow
Some forgiveness now
Tomorrow
Love's no sacred cow
