James Blunt Quotes

My life is brilliant,
My love is pure.
I saw an angel,
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway;
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that
'Cause I've got a plan.

It's a little after midnight
There's a couple in the corner
And I wonder what he said because she's crying
And I guess they won't remember
When they wake up in the morning
With the headache from the whiskey and the wine
I know that I have said things I regret when I am sober
'Cause we always hurt the ones we love the most.

JB: We had 200 Russians lined up pointing their weapons at us aggressively, which was... and you know we'd been told to reach the airfield and take a hold of it. And if we had a foothold there then it would make life much easier for the NATO forces in Pristina. So there was a political reason to take hold of this. And the practical consequences of that political reason would be then aggression against the Russians.
Interviewer: Might have been World War III.
JB: Absolutely. And that's why we were querying our instruction from an American general. Fortunately, up on the radio came Gen Mike Jackson, whose exact words at the time were, 'I'm not going to have my soldiers be responsible for starting World War III, and told us why don't we sugar off down the road, you know, encircle the airfield instead.

Look who's alone now,
It's not me, it's not me.
Those three wise men,
They've got a semi by the sea.
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
Tears drying on their face.
He has been here.
Brothers lie in shallow graves,
Fathers lost without a trace.
A nation blind to their disgrace,
Since he's been here.<p>And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

Saw the world turning in my sheets
And once again, I cannot sleep.
Walk out the door and up the street,
Look at the stars beneath my feet.
Remember rights that I did wrong.
So here I go.

It's ok, cause I know
You shine even on a rainy day
And I can find your halo
Guides me to wherever you fall
If you need a hand to hold
I'll come running, because
You and I won't part till we die
You should know
We see eye to eye, heart to heart.

Don't give me those eyes 'cause you know me and I can't say no to you
We can't have each other even if we wanted to
In another life, darling, I'll do anything to be with you
We can't have each other even if we wanted to
Don't give me those eyes, don't give me those eyes.

Tell me the wars you're fighting
Behind the smile you're hiding
All of the things I know you want to say
We tried our best to find us
But there are no lights to guide us
I can't sleep beside a stranger now
And piece by piece we fall apart
With every beat slows down my heart.

Maybe I should try singing like a man.

When I met you I was treading water
And baby I know you know I got an eye that wanders
But right now in this car that we're driving to your sister's
All I'm lookin' for is something that's forever.

I would call you up every Saturday night
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light.
And we sang "Here we go again."
And though time goes by,
I will always be in a club with you in 1973,
Singing "Here we go again."

You're beautiful.
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do.
'Cause I'll never be with you.

If time is all I have,
I'll waste it all on you.
Each day I'll turn it back.
It's what the broken-hearted do.
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake.

Many prophets preach on bended knee,
Many clerics wasted wine.
Do the bloody sheets
On those cobbled streets mean
I have wasted time?
