I mean, come on, it has 'James' in the title...
Maybe the lyrics don't fit perfectly, but this song reminds me of James at a bunch of different bits - when he's got his head stuffed in the chair after countless rejections from Lily, or when he finally gets her to go out with him, or after the funeral, or when he and Lily are living together and he's trying to be all responsible ("Oh dear, James, are you cooking? I wish you wouldn't.") And I just like it.

Lyrics:
What's gotten into you James?
Now you're eating white meat,
you're wearing clean clothes
What in your head has gone wrong?
Has the earth got you down?
You're wearing a frown, sorry James
For you'll forever be,
the only one who's free,
but only in your dreams
All through the day, James,
he'd stop and he'd say,
"What a beautiful day to be slipping away...",
sorry James
Now that you're walking in stride,
may your past be your pride,
you're crass,
but it's only a side of you that no one knows,
but don't worry it shows,
you're mad and you're closed,
sorry James
For you'll forever be,
the only one who's free,
but only in your dreams
All through the day, James,
he'd stop and he'd say,
"What a beautiful day to be slipping away...",
Sorry James, but it' over,
you're sad that you're old,
now the thought's taking over you,
over and over again
