James Blunt Quotes

Trouble is her only friend and he's back again.
Makes her body older than it really is.
She says it's high time she went away.
No one's got much to say in this town.
Trouble is the only way is down,
Down, down.<p>As strong as you were, tender you go.
I'm watching you breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I'll carry you home.
I'll carry you home.

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.

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.

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?

I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you're sleeping, I'll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away.

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.

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.

Your mouth is a revolver, firing bullets in the sky (Mh-mh-mh-mh)
Your love is like a soldier, loyal 'till you die (Mh-mh-mh-mh)
And I’ve been looking at the stars for a long, long time
I’ve been putting out fires all my life
Everybody wants a flame, they don’t want to get burnt
And today is our turn<p>Days like these lead to
Nights like this lead to
Love like ours
You light the spark in my bonfire heart
People like us, we don’t
Need that much, just some
One that starts, starts the spark in our bonfire hearts.

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.

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.

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.

And if this is what we’ve got, then what we’ve got is gold
We’re shining bright and I want you, I want you to know
The morning’s on its way
Our friends all say goodbye
There’s nowhere else to go
I hope that you’ll stay the night
You'll stay the night.

Maybe I should try singing like a man.

I am a dreamer and when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me.
Remember us and all we used to be.
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child;
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine,
We've had our doubts but now we're fine.
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Beautiful dawn (beautiful dawn)
You're just blowing my mind again
Thought I was born to endless night, until you shine.<p>High.
Running wild among all the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.
