"If You've got the money", was released in October 2006 and reached No.13 in the UK top 40, and most recently
"Calm Down Dearest" was released in the UK on January 15, 2007, reaching No.12, his highest charting commercial success.
"Panic Prevention", Jamie's Debut album, was released on 29/1/2007 - although it was also leaked on the internet 3 weeks earlier. Jamie's no stranger to internet bootleggers, there's also a naughty 'Demos' album hanging around on the world wide highway containing alternative and live performances.
On March 1, 2007, Treays was voted as Best Solo Artist at the NME Awards, at Hammersmith Palais in London, England. He held off more established names like Thom Yorke & Jarvis Cocker, to receive the award.
Jamie T is currently working on his second album with a few track titles being released; including "Sticks and Stones", "Spiderwebs", "Hocus Pocus", "368", "Jilly Armeen", "British Intelligence", "Dance of the Young Professionals", "Man's Machine", "Earth, Wind & Fire", "Emily's Heart" and "Bruce". Also an unnamed track featuring backing vocals from Florence And The Machine's Florence Welch is set to be on the record. "Sticks n' Stones EP" is set to be released June 29th with The album "Kings & Queens" following late Summer.
On January 12th 2009, a music video appeared on Jamie's website for a new song, "Fire Fire". The track has elements of Jamie's trademark sound but incorporates faster rhythms, a punk aesthetic and a more abrasive sound than previous singles. Jamie T has said to NME "'Fire Fire' won't be released as a single nor will it be on the new album, it's just a thank you for the fans being so patient." He did announce a date for his new single though, The 'Stick 'N' Stones' EP which is to be released June 29th.
May 21st saw the release of the official video for his latest single "Sticks 'N' Stones". In an email received by subscribers to his website, Jamie said, “Just a little note to say thanks to everyone who’s supporting Sticks ‘N’ Stones. We just finished shooting a little video for the track the other day, so fresh out the edit room it is here for your enjoyment. It was a lot of fun to make and we hope you like it. Hope to see you all soon….. Thanks Jamie”. The video was shot entirely in the London suburb of Wimbledon where Jamie is from and features scenes of him and others, including fellow band members.

Emily's Heart
Jamie T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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,
I'll have to shoot you and no one will hear a sound
Bruised and bloody, I'm lying on the ground,
Now I'm dying, as a message to the town,
This what happens, if you fuck around,
So meddle if you want trouble, trouble then you should meddle,
But don't ever meddle with Emily's heart
She said, get your coat, come on,
To the dog track with the money right,
Yeah we had some fun,
Left with more 'cause we won,
I was under investigation on suspicion of doing her wrong,
She said,
You've become a villain, accused of a hit and run,
Said, she hit me first, and I, say it's the worst that I ever felt,
In a broken heart.
Bloodstains on her shirt crease and, hope she pays the dues,
When I left she said, that your last breath will be down by the station at 2,
Swear she shot me down.
Bruised and bloody, I'm lying on the ground,
And I am aware that I let the poor girl down,
Now I'm dying, as a message to the town,
This what happens, if you fuck around,
So whenever, you want trouble, trouble then you should meddle,
But don't ever meddle with Emily's heart
She said I'm a user, and she's a loser with a gun,
I said if you choose to it becomes hard to include anyone,
So if you stay, put it away, or should I run?
She said I think you know the answer to your question,
So for the smiles, and all of the miles that the engine's done,
The further I drive away the closer we become,
So if I stay, would you put it away, and forgive this one son?
She said Jay I think you know the answer to your question
Bruised and bloody, I'm lying on the ground,
And I am aware that I let the poor girl down,
Now I'm dying, as a message to the town,
This what happens, if you fuck around,
So meddle if you want trouble, trouble then you should meddle,
But don't ever meddle with Emily's heart
"Emily's Heart" by Jamie T tells the story of a man named Jay and his tumultuous relationship with a woman named Emily. The song opens with a description of the weapons stored in Emily's home: a bottle of wine, an old 45 record, and a rifle inherited from her grandfather that she has used several times before. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, implying that Emily is not one to be messed with.
The song then shifts to Jay's perspective, as he realizes he has let Emily down and is now facing the consequences. He is "bruised and bloody, lying on the ground," having been shot by Emily as a warning to the town not to mess with her. As he dies, he thinks back on his troubled relationship with Emily and regrets the mistakes he's made.
Throughout the song, Emily is portrayed as a strong and dangerous woman, unwilling to let anyone cross her or mess with her heart. Jay recognizes this but cannot resist her charms, leading to his downfall.
Overall, "Emily's Heart" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of getting involved with someone who is not to be trifled with.

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
I'll have to shoot you and no one will hear a sound
Bruised and bloody, I'm lying on the ground
And I am aware that I let the poor girl down
Now I'm dying as a message to the town
This what happens if you fuck around
And meddle if you want trouble
Trouble, then you should meddle
But don't ever meddle with Emily's heart
She said, get your coat, come on

I was under investigation on suspicion of doing her wrong
She said, you've become a villain accused of a hit and run
Said, hit me first and I say it's the worst
That I ever felt in a broken heart
And bloodstains on her shirt crease
And hope she pays the dues

Will be down by the station at two
Swear she shot me down
Bruised and bloody, I'm lying on the ground
And I am aware that I let the poor girl down
Now I'm dying as a message to the town
This is what happens if you fuck around
So meddle if you want trouble
Trouble, then you should meddle
But don't ever meddle with Emily's heart

Bruised and bloody I'm lying on the ground
And I am aware that I let the poor girl down
Now I'm dying as a message to the town
This what happens if you fuck around
So meddle if you want trouble
Trouble, then you should meddle
But don't ever meddle with Emily's heart

I remember seeing Jamie T live in Birmingham when he first came back onto the scene in 2014/15. Watched him with my best friend at the time and met a girl in the crowd who I hit it off with over our mutual love for this song and we ended up dancing with each other for pretty much the entire night. When it came to the end of the performance, Jamie came back onto the stage alone with just his guitar and played a couple of acoustic renditions before asking the crowd for suggestions as to which song he should end the night on.
Suffice to say, me and the girl plus a few folk around us started collectively screaming our heads off for Emily's Heart which he hadn't played all night and Jamie looked straight at us and said "Emily's Heart it is". He then played the most beautiful rendition of this song that I have ever heard and had the entire venue singing along with him. A beautiful way to end the night and it's a memory I shall treasure forever.
I have unfortunately since lost contact with both the girl I met on that night and the best friend I bought along with but if either of you ever read this comment, just know that I'll always remember that night as something truly special!
@adamshakespeare1421
He needs to tour!
@Motownisyourtown
Panic Prevention came out in 2007. He was on the scene long before that.
@TheFightQueen
@@Motownisyourtown Yes but he went on a huge hiatus after his sophomore album and this was when he made his long awaited return.
@gman3164
The more you listen to this guys music the better it becomes, it is true poetry lyrically and musically. He doesn't appear regularly with new material but better this calibre of song than mediocre shite every other year. Long may it continue
@chancerello18
A modern day bob Dylan. only jamie can sing aswel
@johndarnston1804
That’s what I think man poetry from the guy I’ve tried to sit and write but it’s hard, only for some by the looks of it
@ukaszhabdas9950
Totally agree 👍
