Who's singing Jim's songs...?

Free Lyrics, Chords & MP3s 

Sometimes I Wake Up Naked | American Dream | Bonus Disk 
Dance Like No-one Is Watching | Other Songs

Here they are. Every song from both of Jim's albums, with its corresponding lyrics, chord chart, and full sound file. We hope you enjoy them, learn them, and sing them as often and as far and wide as you can.

A note about the quality of the sound files. In order to save space on our server, all low quality sound files include a full  recording of the song at low bit rates of around 32-40 Kbps.

The high quality sound files are 60-90 second samples only recorded at 96 Kbps. This not only keeps the sound files small, but by reducing the size of each file, it ensures you spend the minimum amount of time waiting for each song to download to your computer.

Sometimes I Wake Up Naked...

Now that you've heard the songs, and read the lyrics, you may prefer to purchase the commercial release of Sometimes I Wake Up Naked for the sheer sensual pleasure you will feel when holding the full CD package in your hands. 

You'll get a first class CD pressing which allows you to hear the music with the clarity and quality it was meant to be heard at; a 16 page booklet with full lyrics and notes; and the satisfaction that comes with knowing you are supporting an independent recording artist who is committed to his craft and his music.

NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, the Copyright for all songs published within this Internet Web Site are held by Jim Lesses and the unauthorised copying, publishing, or performance of these songs is strictly prohibited. Note the accent on 'unauthorised'. Jim is more than happy for people to learn and sing these songs. All he asks is that you contact him first and let him know.

Dance Like No-one Is Watching...

Jim's third album, Dance Like No-one Is Watching, will be released some time in 2006. Jim is currently recording these songs at his home studio. As each song is completed, an audio sample will be added here, so check back regularly to see what has been added to the site. Alternatively, join Jim's mailing list, and we will let you know each time a new song has been added to the site.

At the time of writing this, Jim has yet to decide which songs will make the final release of Dance Like No-one Is Watching. Most of the songs listed below, should be on the album - but you never know... Depending on what Jim writes between now and the release of the album, there could be several new titles here taking the place of those currently listed.

NOTE: Some of the sound files included here are live recordings, demo's, and rough drafts.
