When you see James live and he comes out for an encore and says "I'm going to play a new song." And you think "Sh1t" coz there are a dozen you still want to hear. Then he plays this! Something you have never heard. This might be his best ever song? Honestly, a bit shocking... Thanks for posting..
Here's the lyrics: Pinocchio’s in Vegas, with his eye on the prize He’s a real boy now, his dick grows when he lies His face stays frozen like it’s still made of wood It displays no emotion as he cleans ‘em out good At that back room table, most any Friday night He don’t even need the money, he just did it out of spite He misses ol’ Geppetto, gone now two years The boy is spendin’ real money, and he’s cryin’ real tears You’d a thought it’d been a straight and simple untaxed estate It was nearly out of probate when it blew up in his face There were whispers in the shadows, all around the town Heretofore unknown relations, ol’ Geppetto got around Who were my grandmother’s friends? Used to play bridge every Tuesday at ten Who were the neighbors next door? When I was still crawlin’ on the floor When the claims came to light, Pinocchio was blue The lawyers had a field day, just like they always do First they tried to fleece ‘im for a rainbow’s worth of gold He had to sue Walt Disney over copyright control He got less than he wanted, more than they would give Both sides were bitter, both sides’ll live Who were my grandmother’s friends? Used to take me fishin’ every now and then Who were the neighbors next door? Who all did we lose in the war? Snappin’ peas on that front porch step Come and take them watermelon rinds Toss ‘em over the horse-lot fence Go wash up and quit that cryin’ Pinocchio is over it, he don’t beat up on himself He’s had to learn to be an asshole just like everybody else Where the dogs eat the dogs and the cats eat the mice You pick a hill to die on, don’t bother actin’ nice ‘Cause that don’t serve you well at the end of the day They don’t have to come and take it if you give it all away Who were my grandmother’s friends? Used to play bridge every Tuesday at ten Who were the neighbors next door? When I was still crawlin’ on the floor I say who were my grandmother’s friends? Used to take me fishin’ every now and then Who were the neighbors next door? I can’t call you up and ask you anymore

That is a great song for sure! But there's a new version on here from eTown with Betty Soo on 2nd guitar and vocals which is brilliant too!
@@LonesomeTraveler Thanks - even better...
Here's the lyrics:
Pinocchio’s in Vegas, with his eye on the prize
He’s a real boy now, his dick grows when he lies
His face stays frozen like it’s still made of wood
It displays no emotion as he cleans ‘em out good
At that back room table, most any Friday night
He don’t even need the money, he just did it out of spite
He misses ol’ Geppetto, gone now two years
The boy is spendin’ real money, and he’s cryin’ real tears
You’d a thought it’d been a straight and simple untaxed estate
It was nearly out of probate when it blew up in his face
There were whispers in the shadows, all around the town
Heretofore unknown relations, ol’ Geppetto got around
Who were my grandmother’s friends?
Used to play bridge every Tuesday at ten
Who were the neighbors next door?
When I was still crawlin’ on the floor
When the claims came to light, Pinocchio was blue
The lawyers had a field day, just like they always do
First they tried to fleece ‘im for a rainbow’s worth of gold
He had to sue Walt Disney over copyright control
He got less than he wanted, more than they would give
Both sides were bitter, both sides’ll live
Who were my grandmother’s friends?
Used to take me fishin’ every now and then
Who were the neighbors next door?
Who all did we lose in the war?
Snappin’ peas on that front porch step
Come and take them watermelon rinds
Toss ‘em over the horse-lot fence
Go wash up and quit that cryin’
Pinocchio is over it, he don’t beat up on himself
He’s had to learn to be an asshole just like everybody else
Where the dogs eat the dogs and the cats eat the mice
You pick a hill to die on, don’t bother actin’ nice
‘Cause that don’t serve you well at the end of the day
They don’t have to come and take it if you give it all away
Who were my grandmother’s friends?
Used to play bridge every Tuesday at ten
Who were the neighbors next door?
When I was still crawlin’ on the floor
I say who were my grandmother’s friends?
Used to take me fishin’ every now and then
Who were the neighbors next door?
I can’t call you up and ask you anymore
