Getting Away With It (All Messed Up) is the twelfth track on the 2001 James album Pleased To Meet You and was the first and only single to be released from that album.
It was previewed on the 2000 Autumn tour under the title Daniel’s Saving Grace and in press pre-release promos as just Saving Grace.
It started life as an upbeat romp and is apparently one of Tim’s favourites on the Pleased To Meet You album and very similar in style to 80s classic unreleased track Gregory’s Town.
It was slowed down and was released as the first single reaching number 22. It has been a stalwart of James’ live shows over the years and according to Tim their ‘unofficial theme’ song.

Are you aching for the blade?
That's okay, we're insured
Are you aching for the grave?
That's okay, we're insured
Getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
We're getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's called living
Daniel's saving Grace
She's out in deep water
I hope he's a good swimmer
Daniel plays his ace
Deep inside his temple
He knows how to serve her
Getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
We're getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
Daniel drinks his weight
Drinks like Richard Burton
Dance like John Travolta now
Daniel's saving Grace
She was all but drowning
Now they live like dolphins
Getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
We're getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
Getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
Getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
Oh, we're getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
Yeah, that's called living
That's okay, we're insured
Are you aching for the grave?
That's okay, we're insured
Getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
We're getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's called living
Daniel's saving Grace
She's out in deep water
I hope he's a good swimmer
Daniel plays his ace
Deep inside his temple
He knows how to serve her
Getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
We're getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
Daniel drinks his weight
Drinks like Richard Burton
Dance like John Travolta now
Daniel's saving Grace
She was all but drowning
Now they live like dolphins
Getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
We're getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
Getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
Getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
Oh, we're getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
Yeah, that's called living

Song Structure:
Mike plays an acoustic guitar with a capo at the 5th fret, and strums the chords Am C G D (relative to capo)
throught the whole song. Adrian plays the lead lines as detailed above, playing the main arpeggio until the
end of the second chorus, at which point he starts playing the "solo," which continues until the end of the song.
Saul comes in at various points in the song playing the chord progression Dm F C G on a highly distorted electric guitar.
Lyrics/Chords:
Dm
F
Are you aching for the blade
C
That's OK
G Dm
We're insured
F
Are you aching for the grave
C
That's OK
G Dm
We're insured
F
We're getting away with it, all messed up
C
Getting away with it, all messed up
G Dm
That's the living
F
Daniel's saving grace
C
She's out in deep water
G Dm
Hope he's a good swimmer
F
Daniel plays his ace
C
Deep inside his temple
G Dm
He knows how to surf her
Getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
Getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
Daniel drinks his weight
Drinks like Richard Burton
Dances like John Travolta
Now
Daniel's saving grace
He was all for drowning
Now they live like dolphins
We're getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
We're getting away with it, all messed up
We're getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
We're getting away with it, all messed up
We're getting away with it, all messsed up
That's the living
Are we getting away with it?
All messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
Getting away with it
We're getting away with it
That's the living
That's the living
