Album review: Jamie T - 'Kings And Queens'
The Wimbledon troubadour tries a bigger sound, with largely successful results
When Jamie T surfed the initial wave of hype on his washboard, it just seemed like Virgin had dropped a syringe on Camden and signed up whichever posho troubadour dabbling in ragamuffin chic it stuck in. However, even though his vocal inflections and street poet lyrics seemed desperately seeking for a place between His Holiness The Doherty and Citizen Skinner , his jumble of punk, hip-hop...

The new tunes are great, but it’s the gags that make this show – in a converted loo – so memorable. Ginglik, London, Wednesday September 9

Jamie T - Kings & Queens Lyrics
Jamie T - 368 Lyrics
Wrapped in cling film, staying till the morning
Working in a shop off Newport Street
Lived in your building high up on the ceiling
When she rushed the floorboards creaked
Jamie T - Sticks 'n' Stones Lyrics
When there's no one left to fight boys like him don't shine so bright
Soon as I see the dust settle he's out on the town tryin' to find trouble
When there's no one left to fight boys like him don't shine so bright
Soon as I see the dust settle he's out on the town tryin' to find trouble
Jamie T - Castro Dies Lyrics
You're messin' up my mind
You do it all the time
And that's why enemy's enemies and lovers
Will never be friends of mine
Jamie T - The Man's Machine Lyrics
Better the devil you know
Confess, I guess I was the lesser of the two evils
Convalesce about the stress the test caused
Had me up and on the board
Jamie T - Earth, Wind & Fire Lyrics
Queens in the pocket girl in a locket
Boys wanna knock it, other wanna rob it
I see when ya coming, girl, ya look stunning
Running for the friends of mine
Jamie T - Chaka Demus Lyrics
A lot of people around here
Lost the whites in their eyes
I see the lust inside your heart
And now I wanna touch the sky
Jamie T - Jilly Armeen Lyrics
Taking sides, planning a trip
No place like home if only I could afford it
Ticket to ride, connected by the hip
Surviving on the dabs of the dust in the pocket
Jamie T - British Intelligence Lyrics
British Intelligence, they're on your back
And they won't catch no one so they won't catch me
Three, fours and right up your back
And you just got sacked, now your money's not free
Jamie T - Emily's Heart Lyrics
Bottle of wine and an old 45
Rifle in the corner that her grandfather left her when he died
Said no surprise, I've had to use it quite a few times
So Jay, don't you ever let us down, don't you ever
Jamie T - Hocus Pocus Lyrics
Bullets flying over head
Hear them through the walls as you lie in bed
Know you're fighting for the one you love
This time son I'm telling you to run
Jamie T - Spider's Web Lyrics
They think were fools sitting on the corner
Older you get the more like your father
The more I drink the more like my brother
Seem to have picked up on a callus trait
