James Blunt Quotes

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

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.

Maybe I should try singing like a man.

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.

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.

Without your arms around me, without you on my skin
Without you on my body, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
I don’t mean to be desperate or pretend that I’m not torn
But I don’t want to let go of the things that keep me warm
Without you, I’m just cold.

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.

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.

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.
