Текст песни
Nobody told him old age was getting old
Nobody told him cold stage was being told
But he did his lines alright
And he didn't need to fight
I guess that he was right
If you weren't there to warn him
You may be there to mourn him
He was too quick to be a fool
He was too slick to be cool
He was too swift for games
He lived too fast for James
He moved too fast for dames
He'd give his past for James
I guess there'll be another one
But guess who blazed the trail
It could be John, it could be Jim
It could be you, it could be him
But for the time being
Calling James
If you weren't there to warn him
You may be there to mourn him
He was too quick to be a fool
He was too slick to be cool
He was too swift for games
He lived too fast for James
He moved too fast for dames
He'd give his past for James
James
He was too quick for you
Too quick for me
Too quick for you
Too quick to be
Too quick to live
Too quick to give
Too quick for games
Too quick for James
