Little James, we're all the same
Always seem to look to us
We weren't meant to be grown ups
Thank you for your smile
You make it all worthwhile to us
Live for your toys, even though they make noise
Have you ever played with plasticine
Even tried a trampoline
Thank you for your smile
You make it all worthwhile to us
I'm singing this song for you and your mum and that's all
It won't be long before everyone is gone
Sailed out to sea, your mum, you and me
You swam the oceans like a child
Life around us was so wild
Thank you for your smile
You make it all worthwhile to us
I'm singing this song for you and your mum and that's all
It won't be long before everyone is gone
Always seem to look to us
We weren't meant to be grown ups
Thank you for your smile
You make it all worthwhile to us
Live for your toys, even though they make noise
Have you ever played with plasticine
Even tried a trampoline
Thank you for your smile
You make it all worthwhile to us
I'm singing this song for you and your mum and that's all
It won't be long before everyone is gone
Sailed out to sea, your mum, you and me
You swam the oceans like a child
Life around us was so wild
Thank you for your smile
You make it all worthwhile to us
I'm singing this song for you and your mum and that's all
It won't be long before everyone is gone
Little James
Released on the 1994 compilation album Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants, Little James is a track by the British rock band Oasis. The song exemplifies the group's signature sound, blending melodic pop sensibilities with the gritty, working-class ethos that defined their early career. Featuring the iconic guitar work of Noel Gallagher and the distinctive vocals of Liam Gallagher, the recording captures the raw energy of the mid-90s Britpop era. As part of the band's extensive discography, Little James stands as a testament to their ability to craft anthemic songs that resonated deeply with audiences across the United Kingdom and beyond.
