The Green Lane (2020) - The Daniel James Songbook

The Writer's Thoughts

This is a transitional album between Daniel James and The Daniel James Project. "The Gas", "I Want Your Snow", "Bang Bang", and "Drink and Drive" represent the old Daniel James, whilst the remaining mostly instrumental tracks were experiments in improvisation and production which ultimately resulted in The Daniel James Project.

Drink and Drive

Don't drink and drive, don't drink and drive
Don't drink and drive, don't drink and drive
Don't drink and drive
Don't drink and drive, don't drink and drive

Look at me, fool as can be
Crashed into a tree, broke my knee
Now I'm dead
Don't drink and drive, don't drink and drive

Don't drink and drive, don't drink and drive
Don't drink and drive, don't drink and drive
Don't drink and drive
Don't drink and drive

Now look at me, fool as can be
Crashed into a tree, broke my knee
Now I'm dead

The Anywhere Garden

I can be anywhere

Lost in the Hills of Decay

[Instrumental]

The Gas

Save the climate save the world, for destruction's been foretold
The gas is coming in and sooner or later we'll be thin
We'll always for what's right and question nothing ever again
For there's nothing more corrupt than this old world we're living in

I Want Your Snow

I want your snow, I want your snowahh
I want your snow, I want your snow
I want your snow, I want your snow
I want your snow, down in midwest town blues yah
I want your snow, midwestern town blues yah down in south USA
I want your snow, yeah I want your snow
I want your snow, I want your your snow eee
Down in midwest town USA, I want your snow
Birmingham Alabama, I want your snow
Chicago, I want your snow
Oh land, let it snow, let it snow down here
Let it snow down here, northwestern USA
Northwestern USA, let it snow
Let it snow, snow copious amounts
And let the snow settle
And let the snow settle on the ground
And coat the ground with a white icing
And let that white icing become clouds
And the clouds turn into rain and it rains once again
On the snow, and the snow rains on itself
And the rain rains, and the rain snows
And the snow rains, and the snow turns into sleet
And the sleet turns into rain
And the rain turns into clouds
And turns the river down to the sea

Bang Bang

I'll take it all, I'll grab and steal [Repeated]

BANG BANG
BANG BANG

Awoooo

And when I get this close
And when I get this close
And when I get this close
And when I get this close
And when I get this close

DAMN

Because I'm tired of it

Oh no no no no no
I ain't got it
