Description

Funky bass line, guitar with a wah effect and echoed vocals. The actor Jimmy Kane is not meant to be the protagonist of this song, it is merely a coincidence that his name was chosen. Given both the crude content of the song, and the possibility of the character becoming the title character of the album, it was not used on Showbiz, however was included on the earlier demo known as the Newton Abbot demo.^[1]

Lyrics

Jimmy Kane can’t sleep at night 
Sex in pain 
Keeps me alive

You can’t confuse yourself 
Mimicking no one else
You can’t fake it 
You will never make it 
You can’t confuse yourself 
Mimicking no one else
You can’t fake it 
You will never make it 

Yeah you're to blame 
For everything 
Sex in pain 
Keeps moving me 
Keeps me

You can’t confuse yourself 
Mimicking no one else
You can’t fake it 
You will never make it 
You can’t confuse yourself 
Mimicking no one else
You can’t fake it 
You will never make it 
Yeah

Demo version

Jimmy Kane can't sleep at night
Sex in pain
Keeps me alive

You will abuse yourself
Imitating to no one else
You can't make it
Why don't you just fake it?
You will abuse yourself
Imitating to no one else
You can't make it
Why don't you just fake it?

Yeah you're to blame 
For everything 
Sex in pain 
Keeps moving me 
Ohh

You will abuse yourself
Imitating to no one else 
You can't make it
Why don't you just fake it?
Yeah
You will abuse yourself
Imitating no one else 
You can't make it
Why don't you just fake it?
Yeah

Yeah
