  In the streets of shame Where you’ve lost your dreams in the rain There’s no signs of hope The stems and seeds of the last of the dope There’s a glow of light The Saint Jimmy is the spark in the night Bearing gifts and trust A fixture in the city of lust

    So Jacob and James come from the same origin?

      That is correct. Greek Iakóbos to Latin Iacobus to Jakobus to late latin Jacomus to early French Jammes to english James
