It’s an uneasy life being a jealous man
Things I do outnumber things I can
So insecure yet could be so strong
A restricted life eats at my confidence
Opinions force a defensive stance
I want to break out and escape all this
I’ll turn every corner in this maze of emotion
I’ll swim against tidal waves of our bad feelings
You walked away from me surrendering what held with me
To another’s security that’s how you left me
You walked away from me changes to our destinies
Walk separate paths for eternity
Is that what you want for you and for me
Sometimes I wish that I am with you
Sometimes I wish that you are there
And I could spend my life just wishing
And casting heartfelt magic spells
But only wishes come true in fairytales
Mementos lie upon the shelf
Looking rather pretty while gathering dust
Such sad reminders of better days
Your moves have drive me insane
Now I’m constantly in a crazy state of mind
I can’t disguise it gets me down
It’s an uneasy life being a jealous man
Things I do outnumber things I can
So insecure yet could be so strong
A restricted life eats at my confidence
Opinions force a defensive stance
I want to break out and escape all this
I’ll turn every corner in this maze of emotion
I’ll swim against tidal waves of our bad feelings
You walked away from me surrendering what held with me
To another’s security that’s how you left me
You walked away from me changes to our destinies
Walk separate paths for eternity
Is that what you want for you and for me
Sometimes I wish that I am with you
Sometimes I wish that you are there
And I could spend my life just wishing
And casting heartfelt magic spells
But only wishes come true in fairytales
Mementos lie upon the shelf
Looking rather pretty while gathering dust
Such sad reminders of better days
Your moves have drive me insane
Now I’m constantly in a crazy state of mind
I can’t disguise it gets me down
On Jamie's birthday (13 May 2021), here is a remix of his song "Fairytales" by Edward Spark. Jamie gave the "stems" of his recording of the song from his album "Precious" to Mr Spark a long, long time ago, with the idea that a new version of the song might be created. As a tribute to Jamie, this new version is being released. As added extras, the full 11'46" Edward Spark remix, originally released in May 2020 but then deleted, plus a brand new mix from Cloudland Blue Quartet, are also included.
