JAM J
First released 1994
Jam J was the first public release from the Wah
Wah alternative project as a double a-side single with the more
melodic Say Something. Although Say Something was only
officially listed as the double a-side for the first week, Jam J was
largely ignored by press and radio. A 33 minute version mixed by the
Sabres and Paradise described as "Soundscapes to a Space Oddity
1994" (this is the press release!) was also released at the time.
Jam J has appeared in the band setlist from time
to time allowing Tim to use his megaphone and Geoff Buckley to show
off his lighting skills.

LYRICS
The sun is up
The sun is high
The sun is in your eye
Your shades, they mirror everything
They're leaving me quite blind
This game is up
We've had enough
And we can compromise
Take those glasses off your face
I want to see your eyes
Read a book
A funny book
A book about your life
You call yourself a free man
But all you did was time
And time will judge
And time will heal
And time will bare its all
And now you're in your coffin
With a satellite dish installed
Only this other fool surrounds you
Only this other fool surrounds you
You have no one to love
Only this other fool surrounds you
Only this other fool surrounds you
Only this other fool surrounds you
You have no one to love
