Additional quotes by James Blunt

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.

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.
