Come back Jimmy
Take me on a genocide tour
Take me on a truck to Darfur
Take me where you would go
Got to get you safe at home
Got to get you somewhere warm
so you get me all alone

Are you coming, are you going, are you leaving, are you staying?
Your loving makes me crazy
I know that you hear me
Start acting like you want me!

stars202 is right. I have the article sitting right in front of me. its from the magazine SPIN (Aug 2007, pg.46). It reads:
SPIN: The Kala song "Jimmy" is a good old-fashioned love story--but the courtship is in Darfur, Rwanda, adn the Congo. Did you fall in love with a UN relief worker or something?
MIA: Ah, kinda! Actually, he was a journalist. I was in Liberia and he was in Rwanda, and we were gonna meet up. He was like,"On our first date, do you wanna go on a genocide tour?" I just thought, "This shit doesn't escape me! This is me!" I wrote the song instead of actually going on the genocide tour.
genocide worker she met and he asked her out on a date and he wanted to take her on a genocide tour. she didnt go and wrote the song instead.
that was a really rough explanation, its just what i remembered reading in an interview.
of montreal does a WICKEDDDD cover of this song
@peopledontdance thanks, i didn't know about that. It is wicked
@peopledontdance thanks, i didn't know about that. It is wicked
shouldn't it start 'Jimmy's gone M.I.A./ Come back Jimmy'?
i looove it. now someone explain it to me. lol
actually, i think it's a cover of a song from a bollywood film that maya used to watch when she was little. i think the verses might be written by her, though.
in the bollywood version, it was "adja" which means "come." like, "jimmy, come on, start acting like you want this, gees."
