about

This song was written quickly and shortly after the sad departing of James' beloved long time kitty companion. When producer Moe Berg first heard the demo, he immediately thought of John Lennon's 'Happy Christmas.' Hmmmm.....

lyrics

I don’t leave the radio on anymore.
No I don’t leave the radio on anymore.

You were a special girl who only needed one more life.
Selfishly spoken as I lay in a ball here tonight.
I still see you from the corner of my eye,
And sometimes I swear I even hear you cry.
But you’re just playing with the loose strings of my mind.

And I don’t leave the radio on anymore.
No I don’t leave the radio on anymore.
And there’s no real reason for stumbling through the door.
No I don’t leave the radio on anymore.

If I’d been more like you I could see myself through this darkness.
Won’t somebody please let me out of this bag labeled loneliness?
You always landed square on your feet.
I hope this time I can be so lucky,
As I fall from a billion stories.

All about her and the rattle of the keys,
That makes the engine purr,
And brought her to me.
And killed her curiousity.

Emptiness is scratching at the screen.
Something’s amiss now things have changed.
I cannot speak, my tongue, she’s got again.

And I don’t leave the radio on anymore.
No I don’t leave the radio on anymore.
And there’s no real reason for stumbling through the door.
No I don’t leave the radio on anymore.

Under the guise of ‘The James Clark Institute’, Toronto based music artist, James Clark takes the classic pop song style that he grew up with and gives it his own spin. The music of Elvis Costello, Ray Davies and Lennon and McCartney have all influenced James' musical style. “A wealth of songwriting talent” says renowned music writer/ ex-MuchMusic VJ Michael Williams in Cashbox Canada. ... more
