"This one came from the daughter of Chris Difford." Says Gaz Coombes, "Part of the record was done in the small studio right behind his home. While recording, we often got visited by his daughters. No, not that kind! They're really sweet children. Kids in the studio just add to the right atmosphere. You can do great jams with them. That's how "Grace" developed. One of these girls always carried a small money box around. 'Save The Money For The Children', it says. One day, Danny came in drunk and started rambling on a piano, shouting all kinds of weird lyrics. So we used the line from the money box and thought: that will do for a B-side. But once we started recording it for real, it became better and better and it's even our new single now! Yeah, things can go truly odd."

On your trampoline
When you kissed the sky
Made your sister scream
You ate our chips
And you drank our Coke
Then you showed me Mars
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money, save your money girl
Well you sang your songs
And you made us laugh
So we captured you
In a photograph
And when the stars came out
Your Momma called your name
When the morning comes
We'll get together again
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children

@astrothunder694
I discovered so many bands through it
@paulhamilton6873
Most underated british band ever
@trancelover1992
I would say James are the most underrated British rock band of all time, but I think supergrass comes pretty close. Both great bands of the Brit-pop era. In the USA I would say Neutral-milk-hotel is very underrated. Great band.
