Here's what James himself has to say about "Sweet Jesus": "I stumbled across the lyrics for this in a notepad on the way to my friend Kenny�s house where we recorded this version. We had Kenny singing alongside me and playing accordion, and his brother Gordon shaking things and pitching in with a harmony every now and then. I wrote it about a girl I met while on tour in Ireland. I find coming up with melodies on the guitar fairly easy, but I never sit down to write lyrics, they either come off or they don�t. I have notepads everywhere, in my pockets, with my guitars, beside my bed. I try and avoid revising the lyrics, I just hate songs where you can hear the machinery working, that sound contrived, middle-eights that go up a key and all that pish. I don�t do middle eights."
