Lyrics:

Better wake up my love, get up,

It’s time

Time to get out of Dodge



That case won’t fit the car

Racing, we're racing down to those beautiful beaches

Put your foot down to the floor,

Racing, we're racing down to those beautiful beaches



We’ll take our chances

Take our chances

Burning down the houses

We’re surrounded

Take our chances

Get out of Kansas

Escape

Time to escape

Time to escape



It’s coming over the ridge past canyon trail

Smoke in the air

Woke me up in the night



That life we left behind

Racing, we’re racing down to those beautiful beaches

Put your foot down to the floor

Racing, we’re racing down to those beautiful beaches



We’ll take our chances

Take our chances

Burning down the houses

We’re surrounded

Take our chances

Get out of Kansas

Escape

Time to escape

Time to escape



Take our chances

Take our chances

Burning down the houses

We’re surrounded

Take our chances

Get out of Kansas

Escape

Time to escape

Time to escape





Music by Tim Booth, Jim Glennie, Mark Hunter, Saul Davies and Jacknife Lee

Everytime james drop a new song, life gets a little bit better

[michaelireson]

OMG. I'm 61 years of age and still get goosebumps with these guys keep it coming, brilliant

[miguelinglesserrano]

i am physically disabled by a car accident 18 years ago since then, music is my support, thanks :-))

[syntric]

An uplifting James tune just what we need in these times

[chrisbergin]

The full album can't come quickly isn't a band on the planet who can match how current their sound is and yet be almost 40 years old!

[andytheantifash]

I love music.
It makes me happy.
But no-one, ever, since 1984, has come close to plugging me into my happy zone like James do!

I don't know how the fuck they do, but I'm EVER so grateful they do!

[basilvictorhomer]

One of those songs that whisk you up in a balloon and into kaliedoscopic skies. I don't want to come back down.

[JF]

I’m 13 and loving James shows James Is band for all and is still making epic music to this day

[mishatomskovich]

James songs always sound familiar. Like an old friend met after years... Lovely song beautiful music by The only band covered by The Smiths in concert. What's the world? Playground for the best band ever..

[davidbell]

I'm 64 and love these guys can't wait to see them live again

[cucabeludo]

Better wake up my love, get up
It's time
Time to get out of Dodge

That case won't fit the car
Racing, we're racing down to those beautiful beaches
Put your foot down to the floor
Racing, we're racing down to those beautiful beaches

We'll take our chances
Take our chances
Burning down the houses
We're surrounded
Take our chances
Get out of Kansas
Escape
Time to escape
Time to escape

It's coming over the ridge past canyon trail
Smoke in the air
Woke me up in the night

That life we left behind
Racing, we're racing down to those beautiful beaches
Put your foot down to the floor
Racing, we're racing down to those beautiful beaches

We'll take our chances
Take our chances
Burning down the houses
We're surrounded
Take our chances
Get out of Kansas
Escape
Time to escape
Time to escape

Take our chances
Take our chances
Burning down the houses
We're surrounded
Take our chances
Get out of Kansas
Escape
Time to escape
Time to escape

James is the only band that has ever made me want to dance

[RobVespa]

I'm so happy to hear new music from James. Not only that, but much like their last album - after all this time, they continue to evolve and produce lush and vibrant music that resonates with a wide group of listeners. It's nigh unprecedented.

[robharper]

Another corker from the greatest band around

[osvaldogourgel]

I feel myself so relieve now!! it´s an honor to live in a generation where James keep singing

[brassneckweddoes]

I need to escape from London and dance on a beach x

[matthewhine]

The entire vibe of the album so far is amazing
Maybe it's the new production maybe it's just James being James 💙

[MrByebyebadman]

Having been to many James gigs over the years you can bet your life the crowd are gonna go absolutely WILD when they play this one live. Amazing tune by Tim and the boys

[phillipmanning]
