Stay The Night Lyrics – James Blunt
Ooooooh, Oooooooh, Ooooooh, hey!
It’s 72 degrees
Zero chance of rain
It’s been a perfect day
We’re all spinning on our heels
So far away from real
In California
We watched the sunset from our car
We all took it in
And by the time that it was dark
You and me had something, yeah!
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 it’s way
Our friends all say goodbye
There’s nowhere else to go
I hope that you’ll stay the night
Ooooooh, you'll stay the night
Ooooooh, yeah!
We’ve been singing Billie Jean
Mixin’ vodka with caffeine
We’ve got strangers stopping by
And though you’re out of tune
Girl you blow my mind, you do
And all I’ll say is I don’t wanna say good night
There’s no quiet corner
To get to know each other
Then there’s no hurry
I’m a patient man as you'll discover
Cause 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 it’s way
Our friends all say goodbye
There’s nowhere else to go
I hope that you’ll stay the night
Ooooooh, you'll stay the night
Ooooooh, yeah!
Just like the song on our radio set
We’ll share the shelter of my single bed
But it’s a different tune that’s stuck in my head
And it goes...
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 it’s way
Our friends all say goodbye
There’s nowhere else to go
I hope that you’ll stay the night
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 it’s way
Our friends all say goodbye
There’s nowhere else to go
I hope that you’ll stay the night
It’s 72 degrees
Zero chance of rain
It’s been a perfect day
We’re all spinning on our heels
So far away from real
In California
We watched the sunset from our car
We all took it in
And by the time that it was dark
You and me had something, yeah!
And if this is what we’ve got

We’re shining bright and I want you
I want you to know

Ooooooh, you'll stay the night
Ooooooh, yeah!

Dangerous Lyrics – James Blunt
I'll be standing in the corner
Just watching her slaughter them
See you all go wild
I've been dipping in my finger
Testing out the water
See you on the other side
[Chorus]
She is dangerous, she is dangerous, I'm sure (woah)
And she's all dressed up and knocking at my door (woah)
She is dangerous, she is dangerous, I know (woah)
But she's got my heart and she's never letting go
I'll be hanging on your heartache
Enough rope for my sake and losing everytime
I'll be wrapped around your finger, let the moment linger
See you on the other side
[Chorus]
And we all get a taste for blood tonight
Coz we've all had a taste of love
And we all get a taste for blood tonight
For love
[Chorus]
Just watching her slaughter them
See you all go wild
I've been dipping in my finger
Testing out the water
See you on the other side
[Chorus]
She is dangerous, she is dangerous, I'm sure (woah)
And she's all dressed up and knocking at my door (woah)
She is dangerous, she is dangerous, I know (woah)
But she's got my heart and she's never letting go
I'll be hanging on your heartache
Enough rope for my sake and losing everytime
I'll be wrapped around your finger, let the moment linger
See you on the other side
[Chorus]
And we all get a taste for blood tonight
Coz we've all had a taste of love
And we all get a taste for blood tonight
For love
[Chorus]
Best Laid Plans Lyrics – James Blunt
You don't like it in the shadows
but you won't let me shine a light
I would wash away your troubles
But it seems
The more that I hold on
The more that you let go
And I know, you better let somebody love you
or find yourself, on your own
Tell me why all the best laid plans
fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end,
the way I meant
If we don't talk about the future
Then should I just, follow you into the dark
Yeah, and does your silence keep you cold
While the cracks form on my heart
Tell me why all the best laid plans
fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end,
the way I meant
It seems to me some fine friends have watched you turn your back
It seems you only want the things that you can't have.
Tell me why all the best laid plans
fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end,
the way I meant
but you won't let me shine a light
I would wash away your troubles
But it seems
The more that I hold on
The more that you let go
And I know, you better let somebody love you
or find yourself, on your own
Tell me why all the best laid plans
fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end,
the way I meant
If we don't talk about the future
Then should I just, follow you into the dark
Yeah, and does your silence keep you cold
While the cracks form on my heart
Tell me why all the best laid plans
fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end,
the way I meant
It seems to me some fine friends have watched you turn your back
It seems you only want the things that you can't have.
Tell me why all the best laid plans
fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end,
the way I meant
So Far Gone Lyrics – James Blunt
Tell me the wars you're fighting
Behind the smile you're hiding
All 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
Piece by piece we fall apart
With every beat slows down my heart
[Chorus]
So I'll just say what you won't say
and I'll take the blame if it is for your sake
No turning back on what you can't save
So far gone
Yeah, we're so far gone
I've tried hard to remember
This prison cell used to be a shelter
Now we're just looking for the best way out
I can't fight you anymore
You're already one foot out the door
[Chorus]
So I'll just say what you won't say
and I'll take the blame if it is for your sake
No turning back on what you can't save
So far gone,
yeah we're so far gone
And this is the face of letting go
And these are things we already know
So I'll say what you won't say
and I'll take the blame if it is for your sake
No turning back on what you can't save
so far gone
we're so far gone
So I'll say what you won't say
and I'll take the blame if it is for your sake
No turning back on what you can't save
So far gone,
yes we're so far gone
yes we're so far gone
So I'll just what you won't say
No Tears Lyrics – James Blunt
Don't I know it? Nobody has to say
I've been lucky. Guess I was born that way.
I thank my father, his absence has made me strong.
And I love my mother but she had troubles with God.
[CHORUS:]
No tears for the life that you've led
You've had angels in your head
Did you hear them singing in the end
All the things that you've seen
All the things that could have been
Well I've been everything I want to be
So, no tears, no tears for me
Yeah, I've bathed in sunshine but cherished the fading light
And I heard my heartbeat faulter on a winter's night
I loved a woman but she didn't hear my prayers
So Lord, oh Lord, I'm yours
No tears
[CHORUS]
Cause someone somewhere's going home tonight
Trying to understand the sacrifice
So save your tears for those left behind
[CHORUS]
Superstar Lyrics – James Blunt
There is an empty space in the chair tonight
Cause he don't feel right
There are stormclouds brewing at the back of his mind
As he steps outside
He will be twenty in a week
But he's old for his years
He's had many of those
To confront his own fears
But his father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be
And his mother isn't growing old gracefully
He says times like these I don't want to be a superstar
Cause reality tv killed them all in america
Oh the sun always shines in a magazine
Tonight can we be free to be who we really are
There is an empty space between the lines tonight
And it burns so bright
And the angry silence that he throws on the floor
Says he don't care anymore
He had money for the truth
But love's a lot more
And the answer's is not the one he was looking for
His father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be
And his mother is his mother reluctantly
He says times like these I don't want to be a superstar
Cause reality tv killed them all in america
Oh the sun always shines in a magazine
Tonight can we be free to be who we really are
He says times like these I don't want to be a superstar
Cause reality tv killed them all in america
Oh the sun always shines in a magazine
Tonight can we be free to be who we really are
These Are The Words Lyrics – James Blunt
Tender was my lover from the suburbs of town
We were sweethearts from college she was always around
We were good for each other but some things they just don't work out
There were tears in my eyes when she walked away
We had plans to get married some day
But the promises were broken before they were even made:
Now I'm dancing with a broken heart
Ain't no doctor who can make it start
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again
Because I've given till I've given up
One more casualty of easy love
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again
Tender was my lover, god I miss her embrace
And I wonder who it is that puts a smile on her face
I recall the way she feels and oh I recall the way she tastes
If I could hold her now then all that I'd see'd
remind me of childhood memories
She was the first day of summer, yeah that girl, that girl's for me
Now I'm dancing with a broken heart
Ain't no doctor who can make it start
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again
Because I've given till I've given up
One more casualty of easy love
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again
And these are the words that I say to your picture
These are the words that I say in a dream
These are the words that I wish I'd said to you
when you were standing here next to me
Because I've given till I've given up
One more casualty of easy love
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again
Oooh now I'm dancing with a broken heart
Ain't no doctor who can make it start
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again
Now I'm dancing with a broken heart
Ain't no doctor who can make it start
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again
Calling Out Your Name Lyrics – James Blunt
Well you can stand there waiting for a rainy day
Close up your heart and hide your dancing shoes away
And cut yourself with your mistakes
Leave all hope lying in a line of chalk
Everything you need is disguised in double talk
So wound yourself and let it ache
But if you're waiting for something to bring you round
[Chorus]
I'm calling out, I'm calling out your name
Lift your head up high
I'm calling out, I'm calling out your name
Lift your head up high
It's all little pieces till there's nothing left
All just debris of your former self
Just take a breath for your own sake
And if you're waiting for something to bring you round
[Chorus]
And are you caught between the lines
Did no one see you fall behind
[Chorus]
Close up your heart and hide your dancing shoes away
And cut yourself with your mistakes
Leave all hope lying in a line of chalk
Everything you need is disguised in double talk
So wound yourself and let it ache
But if you're waiting for something to bring you round
[Chorus]
I'm calling out, I'm calling out your name
Lift your head up high
I'm calling out, I'm calling out your name
Lift your head up high
It's all little pieces till there's nothing left
All just debris of your former self
Just take a breath for your own sake
And if you're waiting for something to bring you round
[Chorus]
And are you caught between the lines
Did no one see you fall behind
[Chorus]
Heart Of Gold Lyrics – James Blunt
This time her mind is made up
Yeah, she's moving on
Tonight her spirit's crushed
It's 'cause she don't belong
Maybe she thinks too much
She thinks she's given enough
Only now they'll know she's got a heart of gold
Always looking for love
She's beginning to think she's cursed
On her looks she judged
By the folks at work
She don't care for fashion and fame
Those kind of people they are all the same
One day they'll know, she's got a heart of gold
And she sings, I want to know what love is
But it seems to come with so much pain
If no one wants to show me
It seems easier just to run away
When I am gone it's just a penny for my soul
But God he knows, I got a heart of gold
Been coming 'round here
Since she's a little girl
But now the change is clear
We live in a cynical world
She don't care for fashion and fame, no
Those kind of people they are all the same
They don't wanna know, she's got a heart of gold
And she sings, I want to know what love is
But it seems to come with so much pain
If no one wants to show me
It seems easier just to run away
When I am gone it's just a penny for my soul
But God he knows, I got a heart of gold
To see her footsteps in the snow
And she sings, I want to know what love is
But it seems to come with so much pain
If no one wants to show me
It seems easier just to run away
When I am gone it's just a penny for my soul
But God he knows, I got a heart of gold
I'll Be Your Man Lyrics – James Blunt
Too many voices
Too many noises
Invisible wires keeping us apart
So many choices
Some disappointments
And they only steal me away from you
Climb into our private bubble
Let's get into all kinds of trouble
[Chorus]
Slide over here let your hands feel the way
There's no better method to communicate
So girl stop your talking
Words just get in the way
I'll be your man
So baby come over
From the end of the sofa
I'll be your man
I'll be your man
So many faces
Staring at their shoelaces
When all anyone want is to be seen
Well tonight let's be honest
We all want to be wanted
And darlin' you've got me wantin' you
Everything that I'm trying to say
Just sounds like a worn out cliche, so...
[Chorus]
What are we all looking for?
Someone we just can't ignore
It's real love dripping from my heart,
You've got me tripping
What are we all looking for?
Ooooooh....
[Chorus]
Too many noises
Invisible wires keeping us apart
So many choices
Some disappointments
And they only steal me away from you
Climb into our private bubble
Let's get into all kinds of trouble
[Chorus]
Slide over here let your hands feel the way
There's no better method to communicate
So girl stop your talking
Words just get in the way
I'll be your man
So baby come over
From the end of the sofa
I'll be your man
I'll be your man
So many faces
Staring at their shoelaces
When all anyone want is to be seen
Well tonight let's be honest
We all want to be wanted
And darlin' you've got me wantin' you
Everything that I'm trying to say
Just sounds like a worn out cliche, so...
[Chorus]
What are we all looking for?
Someone we just can't ignore
It's real love dripping from my heart,
You've got me tripping
What are we all looking for?
Ooooooh....
[Chorus]
If Time Is All I Have Lyrics – James Blunt
When you wake up
Turn the radio on
And you'll hear this simple song
That I made up
That I made up for you
When you're driving
Turn the radio up
Cause I can't sing loud enough
Hard these days
To get my message through
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
When you marry
And you look around
I'll be somewhere in that crowd
Torn up, that it isn't me
When you're older
The memories fade
But I know I'll still feel the same
For as long as I live
But 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
Won't you say my name, one time
Please just say my name
But 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
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
Won't you say my name
When the song is over
Turn the radio on
And you'll hear this simple song
That I made up
That I made up for you
When you're driving
Turn the radio up
Cause I can't sing loud enough
Hard these days
To get my message through
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
When you marry
And you look around
I'll be somewhere in that crowd
Torn up, that it isn't me
When you're older
The memories fade
But I know I'll still feel the same
For as long as I live
But 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
Won't you say my name, one time
Please just say my name
But 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
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
Won't you say my name
When the song is over
Turn Me On Lyrics – James Blunt
I'm a boy and she's a girl
And we're gonna do this around the world
Catch her heart and count to five
And remember everybody dies you know,
I'm not her friend no, not second best
I'll send her home unless they're both in it
Together having had both of each other
That's my kinda party!

And we've all known this around the world
Around the world
Around the world
Around the world
So, why get complicated?

And both in each other

And we're all doing this around the world

There She Goes Again Lyrics – James Blunt
When she holds on to me
It’s clear to see,
It’s difficult.
(Didn’t I know it)
First time I’ve chosen to open up,
Not broken up
It’s typical.
(Didn’t I know it)
For all the reasons I’ve told myself
“Find something else”
She’s serious
(Didn’t I know it)
All the heartfelt words we found
I’m coming ‘round
They’re meaningless
(Didn’t I know it)
Wo-oah
[Chorus]
She’s taken what she wants
But she wants everything
There she goes, there she goes
Well there she goes again
Knows how to turn it on
Yeah but not for long
It’s physical, physical
Then it don’t mean a thing
I know better than to think
She’s standing still
Dressed to kill
Well there she goes again
How many hearts that she thrown aside?
So finding mine
Should be no surprise
(Didn’t I know it)
I needed her like she knew I would
And it hurt so good
She’s satisfied
(Didn’t I know it)
It means nothing to hold or kiss
‘Cause she’s done this
A thousand times
Wo-oah
[Chorus]
I know better than to think
She’s standing still
Just to thrill
Well there she goes again
Wo-oah
Wo-oah
There she goes again
There she goes again
Didn’t I know
[Chorus]
I know better than to think
She’s standing still
Just to thrill
Didn’t I know
[Chorus]
I know better than to think
She’s standing still
Just to thrill
Well there she goes again.
It’s clear to see,
It’s difficult.
(Didn’t I know it)
First time I’ve chosen to open up,
Not broken up
It’s typical.
(Didn’t I know it)

Into The Dark Lyrics – James Blunt
Love is madness that's quick to burn
And lying in the embers is where we are
And if my promise is unreturned
Before the day is over I will depart
If I could choose I'd have you stay
But I gave my heart to you and it's yours to break
Before my fears tear us apart
Won't you follow me into the dark
Love is blindness I cannot see
Underneath our roots are tangled and buried deep
When the leaves have fallen from the trees
Do we grow together entirely
If I could choose I'd have you stay
But I gave my heart to you and it's yours to break
Before my fears tear us apart
Won't you follow me into the dark
If I could choose I'd have you stay
But I gave my heart to you and it's yours to break
Before my fears tear us apart
Won't you follow me into the dark
Before my fears tear us apart
Won't you follow me into the dark
And lying in the embers is where we are
And if my promise is unreturned
Before the day is over I will depart
If I could choose I'd have you stay
But I gave my heart to you and it's yours to break
Before my fears tear us apart
Won't you follow me into the dark
Love is blindness I cannot see
Underneath our roots are tangled and buried deep
When the leaves have fallen from the trees
Do we grow together entirely
If I could choose I'd have you stay
But I gave my heart to you and it's yours to break
Before my fears tear us apart
Won't you follow me into the dark
If I could choose I'd have you stay
But I gave my heart to you and it's yours to break
Before my fears tear us apart
Won't you follow me into the dark
Before my fears tear us apart
Won't you follow me into the dark
This Love Again Lyrics – James Blunt
Haven't you looked around.
You could have anyone.
So why would you look at me,
And feel any sympathy,
When all the world can see,
You're breaking me gently?
Cause this love. I've been dying for this love, again.
Oh, I missed love. I've been dying for this love, again.
Don't cut me, just to hear me screaming your name,
there's a million ways I can feel less pain,
so why oh why is it this love that I've been dying for?
So lay me down again
Watch what you've broken mend
Don't sharpen your tongue my dear
Cause your words are killing me
And making my heart burst
Is more than my blood is worth.
Yeah this love. I've been dying for this love, again.
Oh, I missed love. I've been dying for this love, again.
Don't cut me, just to hear me screaming your name,
there's a million ways I can feel less pain,
so why oh why is it this love that I've been dying for?
This love, I've been dying for this love, again.
Oh, I missed love. I've been dying for this love, again.
Don't cut me, just to hear me screaming your name,
there's a million ways I can feel less pain,
so why oh why is it this love that I've been dying for?
You could have anyone.
So why would you look at me,
And feel any sympathy,
When all the world can see,
You're breaking me gently?
Cause this love. I've been dying for this love, again.
Oh, I missed love. I've been dying for this love, again.
Don't cut me, just to hear me screaming your name,
there's a million ways I can feel less pain,
so why oh why is it this love that I've been dying for?
So lay me down again
Watch what you've broken mend
Don't sharpen your tongue my dear
Cause your words are killing me
And making my heart burst
Is more than my blood is worth.
Yeah this love. I've been dying for this love, again.
Oh, I missed love. I've been dying for this love, again.
Don't cut me, just to hear me screaming your name,
there's a million ways I can feel less pain,
so why oh why is it this love that I've been dying for?
This love, I've been dying for this love, again.
Oh, I missed love. I've been dying for this love, again.
Don't cut me, just to hear me screaming your name,
there's a million ways I can feel less pain,
so why oh why is it this love that I've been dying for?
1973 Lyrics – James Blunt
Simone
You're getting older
Your journey's been
Etched on your skin
Simone
Wish I had known that
What seemed so strong
Has been and gone
[Chorus:]
I would call you up every Saturday night
And we both stayed 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"
Simone
Wish I was sober
So I could see clearly now
The rain has gone
Simone
I guess it's over
My memory plays our tune
The same old song
[Chorus x3]
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
You're getting older
Your journey's been
Etched on your skin
Simone
Wish I had known that
What seemed so strong
Has been and gone
[Chorus:]
I would call you up every Saturday night
And we both stayed 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"
Simone
Wish I was sober
So I could see clearly now
The rain has gone
Simone
I guess it's over
My memory plays our tune
The same old song
[Chorus x3]
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
One Of The Brightest Stars Lyrics – James Blunt
One day your story will be told.
One of the lucky ones who's made his name.
One day they'll make you glorious,
Beneath the lights of your deserved fame.
And it all comes round.
Once in a lifetime like it always does.
Everybody loves you 'cause you've taken a chance,
Out on a dance to the moon, too soon.
And they'll say told you so.
We were the ones who saw you first of all.
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars.
One day they'll tell you that you've changed,
Though they're the ones who seem to stop and stare.
One day you'll hope to make the grave,
Before the papers choose to send you there.
And it all comes round.
Once in a lifetime like it always does.
Nobody loves you 'cause you've taken a chance,
Out on a dance to the moon, too soon.
And they'll say told you so.
We were the ones who saw you first of all.
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars.
And they'll say told you so.
We were the ones who saw you first of all.
We always knew that you were one of the brightest
One of the lucky ones who's made his name.
One day they'll make you glorious,
Beneath the lights of your deserved fame.
And it all comes round.
Once in a lifetime like it always does.
Everybody loves you 'cause you've taken a chance,
Out on a dance to the moon, too soon.
And they'll say told you so.
We were the ones who saw you first of all.
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars.
One day they'll tell you that you've changed,
Though they're the ones who seem to stop and stare.
One day you'll hope to make the grave,
Before the papers choose to send you there.
And it all comes round.
Once in a lifetime like it always does.
Nobody loves you 'cause you've taken a chance,
Out on a dance to the moon, too soon.
And they'll say told you so.
We were the ones who saw you first of all.
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars.
And they'll say told you so.
We were the ones who saw you first of all.
We always knew that you were one of the brightest
I'll Take Everything Lyrics – James Blunt
Oh these feet carry me far. Oh my body. Oh so tired.
Mouth is dry. Hardly speak. Holy Spirit rise in me.
Here I swear, forever is just a minute to me.
I'll take everything in this life.
I'll join everyone when I die.
Have my body. Have my mind. Have my coat. Take my time.
These I borrow. Borrow so far. Turn to dust. Fall apart.
Here I swear, forever is just a minute to me.
I'll take everything in this life.
I'll join everyone and understand.
'Cause all men die. 'Cause all men die.
I'll take everything in this life
I'll join everyone since I'm gonna die
I'll take everything in this life
I'll join everyone 'cause all men die
Mouth is dry. Hardly speak. Holy Spirit rise in me.
Here I swear, forever is just a minute to me.
I'll take everything in this life.
I'll join everyone when I die.
Have my body. Have my mind. Have my coat. Take my time.
These I borrow. Borrow so far. Turn to dust. Fall apart.
Here I swear, forever is just a minute to me.
I'll take everything in this life.
I'll join everyone and understand.
'Cause all men die. 'Cause all men die.
I'll take everything in this life
I'll join everyone since I'm gonna die
I'll take everything in this life
I'll join everyone 'cause all men die
Same Mistake Lyrics – James Blunt
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.
Hello, hello. There is no place I cannot go.
My mind is muddy but my heart is heavy. Does it show?
I lose the track that loses me, so here I go.
And so I sent some men to fight, and one came back at dead of night.
Said he'd seen my enemy. Said he looked just like me,
So I set out to cut myself and here I go.
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice.
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again.
And maybe someday we will meet, and maybe talk and not just speak.
Don't buy the promises 'cause, there are no promises I keep.
And my reflection troubles me, so here I go.
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice.
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake,
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice.
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again.
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.
Look at the stars fall down.
And wonder where did I go wrong.
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.
Hello, hello. There is no place I cannot go.
My mind is muddy but my heart is heavy. Does it show?
I lose the track that loses me, so here I go.
And so I sent some men to fight, and one came back at dead of night.
Said he'd seen my enemy. Said he looked just like me,
So I set out to cut myself and here I go.
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice.
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again.
And maybe someday we will meet, and maybe talk and not just speak.
Don't buy the promises 'cause, there are no promises I keep.
And my reflection troubles me, so here I go.
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice.
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake,
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice.
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again.
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.
Look at the stars fall down.
And wonder where did I go wrong.
Carry You Home Lyrics – James Blunt
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.
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.
If she had wings she would fly away,
And another day God will give her some.
Trouble is the only way is down.
Down, down.
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.
And they were all born pretty in New York City tonight,
And someone's little girl was taken from the world tonight,
Under the Stars and Stripes.
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.
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.
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.
If she had wings she would fly away,
And another day God will give her some.
Trouble is the only way is down.
Down, down.
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.
And they were all born pretty in New York City tonight,
And someone's little girl was taken from the world tonight,
Under the Stars and Stripes.
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.
Give Me Some Love Lyrics – James Blunt
Me and my guitar play my way. It makes them frown.
But little pieces by the highway bring me down.
Mine is not a heart of stone, I am only skin and bone,
And those little pieces are little pieces of my own.
Why don't you give me some love?
I've taken ship-load of drugs.
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain.
Valium said to me,
I'll take you seriously,
And we'll come back as someone else,
Who's better than yourself.
Many faces at the doorway all hang round.
Watch me fighting in the hallway but make no sound.
So I'm standing all alone, and I'm only skin and bone.
So many faces but they all look out for their own.
Why don't you give me some love?
I've taken ship-load of drugs.
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain.
Valium said to me,
I'll take you seriously,
And we'll come back as someone else,
Who's better than yourself.
And some day soon they'll drop the bomb and let it all out. Someday.
I know that someday soon we'll all be gone so let it all out.
Let it all out today.
And give me some love,
Yeah, give me some love,
Come on, give me some love today.
I Really Want You Lyrics – James Blunt
Many prophets preach on bended knee. Many clerics wasted wine.
Do the bloodied sheets on those cobbled streets mean I have wasted time?
Are there silver shores on paradise? Can I come in from the cold?
I killed a man in a far away land, my enemy I'm told.
I really want you to really want me, but I really don't know if you can do that.
I know you want to know what's right but I know it's so hard for you to do that.
And time's running out as often it does, and often dictates that you can't do that.
But fate can't break this feeling inside that's burning up through my veins.
I really want you.
I really want you.
I really want you - now.
No matter what I say or do, the message isn't getting through,
And you're listening to the sound of my breaking heart.
I really want you.
I really want you.
Is a poor man rich in solitude, or will Mother Earth complain?
Did the beggar pray for a sunny day, but Lady Luck for rain?
They say a million people bow and scrape to an effigy of gold.
I saw life begin and the ship we're in and history unfold.
I really want you to really want me but I really don't know if you can do that.
I know you want to know what's right but I know it's so hard for you to do that.
And time's running out as often it does and often dictates that you can't do that.
But fate can't break this feeling inside that's burning up through my veins.
I really want you.
I really want you.
I really want you - now.
No matter what I say or do, the message isn't getting through,
And you're listening to the sound of my breaking heart.
No matter what I say or do, the message isn't getting through,
And you're listening to the sound of my breaking heart.
Shine On Lyrics – James Blunt
Are they calling for our last dance?
I see it in your eyes. In your eyes.
Same old moves for a new romance.
I could use the same old lies, but I'll sing,
Shine on, just, shine on!
Close your eyes and they'll all be gone.
They can scream and shout that they've been sold out,
But it paid for the cloud that we're dancing on.
So shine on. Just shine on!
With your smile just as bright as the sun.
'Cause they're all just slaves to the gods they made
But you and I just shone.
Just shone.
And when silence greets my last goodbye,
The words I need are in your eyes, and I'll sing.
Shine On, just, shine on!
Close your eyes and they'll all be gone.
They can scream and shout that they've been sold out,
But it paid for the cloud that we're dancing on.
So shine on. Just shine on!
With your smile just as bright as the sun.
'Cause they're all just slaves to the gods they made,
But you and I just shone.
Just shone.
I see it in your eyes. In your eyes.
Same old moves for a new romance.
I could use the same old lies, but I'll sing,
Shine on, just, shine on!
Close your eyes and they'll all be gone.
They can scream and shout that they've been sold out,
But it paid for the cloud that we're dancing on.
So shine on. Just shine on!
With your smile just as bright as the sun.
'Cause they're all just slaves to the gods they made
But you and I just shone.
Just shone.
And when silence greets my last goodbye,
The words I need are in your eyes, and I'll sing.
Shine On, just, shine on!
Close your eyes and they'll all be gone.
They can scream and shout that they've been sold out,
But it paid for the cloud that we're dancing on.
So shine on. Just shine on!
With your smile just as bright as the sun.
'Cause they're all just slaves to the gods they made,
But you and I just shone.
Just shone.
Annie Lyrics – James Blunt
Annie, you had your name in the bright lights.
I thought I saw your photograph having such a laugh in a magazine,
Did it all come tumbling?
Annie, you were made for the big time.
They said you're a star to be in the NME,
But the walls came tumbling down, down. Will you go down on me?
'Cause Annie you're a star, that's just not going very far.
And all the world will know your name,
And you'll be famous as you are 'cause I'll sing for you.
Annie, would it be nice to be recognised?
And did you practise your autograph but now no one's asked and it's such a shame,
That the dreams are crumbling?
Annie, why aren't you bathed in the limelight?
'Cause I thought that you said you'd be a celebrity several years ago.
Did it all come tumbling down, down. Will you go down on me?
'Cause Annie you're a star, that's just not going very far.
And all the world will know your name,
And you'll be famous as you are 'cause I'll sing for you.
I thought I saw your photograph having such a laugh in a magazine,

I Can't Hear The Music Lyrics – James Blunt
Is it a warning? Is it an evil sign?
Is it a people who have lost their mind?
Is it the Darkness? Is it a man resigned?
Is it a best friend leaving you behind?
Is it ever gonna stop? Will they ever let you go?
You're in a rush, they don't care enough 'cause their lives are very slow.
Time is ticking on. You don't get a second shot,
And when you sell your soul for a leading role, will The Lost Souls be forgot?
And if I can't hear the music and the audience is gone,
I'll dance here on my own.
And I hope the Lonely Hearts' Club Band will play out one last song,
Before the sun goes down.
And is it envy? Should it really make you sick?
Is now the time that you realise you'd better get out quick?
'Cause time is ticking on too long to fake your smile,
But then you sold your soul for a leading role, so wear it for a while.
And if I can't hear the music and the audience is gone,
I'll dance here on my own.
And I hope the Lonely Hearts' Club Band will play out one last song,
Before the sun goes down,
And there she goes. And there she goes.
So run, Yoshimi, run. 'Cause Billy's got himself a gun,
And you're right to be afraid: they'll send you to your grave
'Cause you're strange and new.
So run, Yoshimi, run. 'Cause Billy's got himself a gun,
And you're right to be afraid: they'll send you to your grave
'Cause you're strange and new.
And if I can't hear the music and the audience is gone, I'll dance.
Is it a people who have lost their mind?
Is it the Darkness? Is it a man resigned?
Is it a best friend leaving you behind?
Is it ever gonna stop? Will they ever let you go?
You're in a rush, they don't care enough 'cause their lives are very slow.
Time is ticking on. You don't get a second shot,

Love, Love, Love Lyrics – James Blunt
I'm not looking for us
And neither should you.
Absolutely gorgeous,
Then nothing I say is true.
You won't find yourself
In these guilty eyes
'Cause I love anybody who's fool enough to believe
And you're just one of many who broke their heart on me
And so I say I don't love you,
Though it kills me
It's a lie that sets you free.
Love, love, love
I can't take your
Love, love, love
And so I say I don't love you,
Though it kills me
It's a lie that sets you free.
I will wrap my body
In other women's arms.
Make love in a hurry,
Feel better than I am.
Hope you find yourself
In someone else's eyes
'Cause I love anybody who's fool enough to believe
And you're just one of many who broke their heart on me
And so I say I don't love you,
Though it kills me
It's a lie that sets you free.
Love, love, love
I can't take your
Love, love, love
And so I say I don't love you
'Cause I love anybody who's fool enough to believe (Love, love, love)
And you're just one of many who broke their heart on me (Love, love, love)
And so I say I don't love you, (Love, love, love)

Dear Katie Lyrics – James Blunt
Did he break your heart today?
Well, some will say
It's never gonna be easy
And did he tell you that he loved you,
He's just not in love with you anymore?
I met a man who saw a ghost
Sat down on his bed and he said
"Hey, there's no need to worry,
I've lived my life from start to end
And I've seen nothing that makes sense
Except being in love."
So, dear, dear Katie
What have you done lately?
I've heard it's all gone wrong.
So, dear, dear Katie
This mess you're in is crazy
Remember real love.
Take tea for two
An afternoon
By the sea
Remember how it used to be
When we were young and we didn't care
And oh people used to smile
We were holding hands in the park
The simple things men and woman share,
They used to make you smile.
Little girl don't be lonely,
You'll never be lonely
So dear, dear Katie
What have you done lately?
I've heard it's all gone wrong.
So dear, dear Katie
This mess you're in is crazy.
Remember real love.
And did he break your heart today
Well, do you still feel?
So Happy Lyrics – James Blunt
Blood and water carry me,
from my childhood to the sea...
thought I woke up from a dream,
I saw the moonlight smiling down on me.
Don't cut me down,
I see sunshine in the moonlight,
I can run on, I can hide...
I'm so happy, I'm so happy,
moonlight dancer dance with me!
I'm so happy, I'm so happy,
blood and water carry me!
Should I wake up from this dream?
Moonlight dancer lying next to me,
I feel like burning in the heat;
I would dance but I can't breathe...
Don't blow me down;
I see sunshine in the moonlight,
I can run on, I can hide...
I'm so happy, I'm so happy,
moonlight dancer dance with me!
I'm so happy, I'm so happy,
blood and water carry me!
Blood and water carry me,
from my childhood to the sea...
thought I woke up from the dream:
I saw the moonlight smiling down on me.
And I said "Don't cut me down",
I see sunshine in the moonlight,
I can run on, I can hide...
I'm so happy, I'm so happy,
moonlight dancer dance with me!
I'm so happy, I'm so happy,
blood and water carry me!
I'm so happy, I'm so happy,
moonlight dancer dance with me!
I'm so happy, I'm so happy,
blood and water carry me!
from my childhood to the sea...
thought I woke up from a dream,
I saw the moonlight smiling down on me.
Don't cut me down,
I see sunshine in the moonlight,
I can run on, I can hide...
I'm so happy, I'm so happy,
moonlight dancer dance with me!
I'm so happy, I'm so happy,
blood and water carry me!
Should I wake up from this dream?
Moonlight dancer lying next to me,
I feel like burning in the heat;
I would dance but I can't breathe...
Don't blow me down;
I see sunshine in the moonlight,
I can run on, I can hide...
I'm so happy, I'm so happy,
moonlight dancer dance with me!
I'm so happy, I'm so happy,
blood and water carry me!
Blood and water carry me,
from my childhood to the sea...
thought I woke up from the dream:
I saw the moonlight smiling down on me.
And I said "Don't cut me down",
I see sunshine in the moonlight,
I can run on, I can hide...
I'm so happy, I'm so happy,
moonlight dancer dance with me!
I'm so happy, I'm so happy,
blood and water carry me!
I'm so happy, I'm so happy,
moonlight dancer dance with me!
I'm so happy, I'm so happy,
blood and water carry me!
High Lyrics – James Blunt
Beautiful dawn - lights up the shore for me.
There is nothing else in the world,
I'd rather wake up and see (with you).
Beautiful dawn - I'm just chasing time again.
Thought I would die a lonely man, in endless night.
But now I'm high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.
Beautiful dawn - melt with the stars again.
Do you remember the day when my journey began?
Will you remember the end (of time)?
Beautiful dawn - You're just blowing my mind again.
Thought I was born to endless night, until you shine.
High; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.
Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older?
Promise me tomorrow starts with you,
Getting high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
There is nothing else in the world,
I'd rather wake up and see (with you).
Beautiful dawn - I'm just chasing time again.

You're Beautiful Lyrics – James Blunt
My life is brilliant.
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.
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.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Flying high, [ - video/radio edited version]
Fucking high, [ - CD version]
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
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.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.
Wise Men Lyrics – James Blunt
She said to me, "Go steady on me.
Won't you tell me what the Wise Men said?
When they came down from Heaven,
Smoked nine 'til seven,
All the shit that they could find,
But they couldn't escape from you,
Couldn't be free of you,
And now they know there's no way out,
And they're really sorry now for what they've done,
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun."
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?
Really sorry now,
They weren't to know.
They got caught up in your talent show,
With you pernickety little bastards in your fancy dress,
Who just judge each other and try to impress,
But they couldn't escape from you,
Couldn't be free of you,
And now they know there's no way out,
And they're really sorry now for what they've done,
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun.
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?
Won't you tell me what the Wise Men said?
When they came down from Heaven,
Smoked nine 'til seven,
All the shit that they could find,
But they couldn't escape from you,
Couldn't be free of you,
And now they know there's no way out,
And they're really sorry now for what they've done,
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun."
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?
Really sorry now,
They weren't to know.
They got caught up in your talent show,
With you pernickety little bastards in your fancy dress,
Who just judge each other and try to impress,
But they couldn't escape from you,
Couldn't be free of you,
And now they know there's no way out,
And they're really sorry now for what they've done,
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun.
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?
Goodbye My Lover Lyrics – James Blunt
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.
[x2]
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
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.
[x2]
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Tears And Rain Lyrics – James Blunt
How I wish I could surrender my soul;
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had screamed out loud,
Instead I've found no meaning.
I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.
How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind;
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul.
I'm so cold from fear.
I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.
Tears and Rain.
Tears and Rain.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had screamed out loud,
Instead I've found no meaning.
I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.
How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind;
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul.
I'm so cold from fear.
I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.
Tears and Rain.
Tears and Rain.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.
Out Of My Mind Lyrics – James Blunt
Judging by the look on the organ-grinder,
He'll judge me by the fact that my face don't fit.
It's touching that the monkey sits on my shoulder.
He's waiting for the day when he gets me,
But I don't need no alibi - I'm a puppet on a string.
I just need this stage to be seen.
We all need a pantomime to remind us what is real.
Hold my eye and know what it means.
I'm out of my mind.
Judging by the look on the organ-grinder,
He'll judge me by the fact that my face don't fit.
It's touching that the monkey sits on my shoulder.
He's waiting for the day when he gets me,
But I won't be your concubine - I'm a puppet not a whore.
I just need this stage to be seen.
Will you be a friend of mine to remind me what is real?
Hold my heart and see that it bleeds.
I'm out of my mind.
So Long, Jimmy Lyrics – James Blunt
I just can't believe that it's over.
We were chilling out on the sofa,
Digging how the guitar goes,
In a song that no one knows.
Did you lick that line yourself,
Or did the voodoo magic help?
Does everyone have a different take?
Do you seem real but I seem fake?
Does everyone get hypnotized by your fire?
So long, Jimmy, so long.
Though you only stayed a moment,
We all know that you're the one. Singing,
So long, Jimmy, so long.
Sure we're glad for the experience,
We miss you now you've gone.
We're just swimming in your soul 'cause,
We all wish we wrote this song.
Life goes on.
I'm just so relieved that it's over.
We were hanging out going nowhere,
Digging how the guitar goes,
In a song that no one knows.
Did you burn that bridge yourself,
Or did the voodoo magic help?
Does everyone have a different take?
Are you just cool and I'm just baked?
Does everyone get mesmerized by your fire?
So long, Jimmy, so long.
Though you only stayed a moment,
We all know that you're the one. Singing,
So long, Jimmy, so long.
Sure we're glad for the experience,
We miss you now you've gone.
We're just swimming in your soul 'cause,
We all wish we wrote this song.
Life goes on.
We were chilling out on the sofa,
Digging how the guitar goes,
In a song that no one knows.
Did you lick that line yourself,
Or did the voodoo magic help?
Does everyone have a different take?
Do you seem real but I seem fake?
Does everyone get hypnotized by your fire?
So long, Jimmy, so long.
Though you only stayed a moment,
We all know that you're the one. Singing,
So long, Jimmy, so long.
Sure we're glad for the experience,
We miss you now you've gone.
We're just swimming in your soul 'cause,
We all wish we wrote this song.
Life goes on.
I'm just so relieved that it's over.
We were hanging out going nowhere,
Digging how the guitar goes,
In a song that no one knows.

Or did the voodoo magic help?

Billy Lyrics – James Blunt
Billy's leaving today (don't know where he's going).
Holds his head in disgrace (he can't escape the truth).
He knows the price that he's paid.
He admits that it's too late to admit that he's afraid.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he's always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.
Billy's leaving today (don't know where he's going).
He's got lines on his face (they tell the story of his pain).
He accepts it's his fate.
He admits it took too long to admit that he was wrong.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he's always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.
Once he was a lover sleeping with another.
Now he's just known as a cheat.
And he wish he'd had a mirror; looked a little clearer.
Seen into the eyes of the weak.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he's always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.
Holds his head in disgrace (he can't escape the truth).
He knows the price that he's paid.
He admits that it's too late to admit that he's afraid.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he's always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.
Billy's leaving today (don't know where he's going).
He's got lines on his face (they tell the story of his pain).
He accepts it's his fate.
He admits it took too long to admit that he was wrong.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he's always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.
Once he was a lover sleeping with another.
Now he's just known as a cheat.
And he wish he'd had a mirror; looked a little clearer.
Seen into the eyes of the weak.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he's always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.
Cry Lyrics – James Blunt
I have seen peace. I have seen pain,
Resting on the shoulders of your name.
Do you see the truth through all their lies?
Do you see the world through troubled eyes?
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.
I have seen birth. I have seen death.
Lived to see a lover's final breath.
Do you see my guilt? Should I feel a fright?
Is the fire of hesitation burning bright?
And if you want to talk about it once again,
On you I depend. I'll cry on your shoulder.
You're a friend.
You and I have lived through many things.
I'll hold on to your heart.
I wouldn't cry for anything,
But don't go tearing your life apart.
I have seen fear. I have seen faith.
Seen the look of anger on your face.
And if you want to talk about what will be,
Come and sit with me, and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
Once again.
Cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.
Resting on the shoulders of your name.
Do you see the truth through all their lies?
Do you see the world through troubled eyes?
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.
I have seen birth. I have seen death.
Lived to see a lover's final breath.
Do you see my guilt? Should I feel a fright?
Is the fire of hesitation burning bright?
And if you want to talk about it once again,
On you I depend. I'll cry on your shoulder.
You're a friend.
You and I have lived through many things.
I'll hold on to your heart.
I wouldn't cry for anything,
But don't go tearing your life apart.
I have seen fear. I have seen faith.
Seen the look of anger on your face.
And if you want to talk about what will be,
Come and sit with me, and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
Once again.
Cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.
No Bravery Lyrics – James Blunt
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.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
Close Your Eyes Lyrics – James Blunt
You have seen the singer
And he said ' believe in me'
Now let me wash my bloodied hands
In this pool of extasy
Cos you know what's required of us
And you know that they're tired of us
And you know

So close your eyes (close your eyes)
close your eyes (close your eyes)
close your eyes (close Your of eyes)
and believe in me
You have seen the singer
And he said believe in me
Now open up and let me in

So close your eyes (close your eyes)

Here We Go Again Lyrics – James Blunt
I have been rejected before
Trying to get another one to come in through my door
She said
I like it here
But your not gonna score
I’m not gonna let you sleep with me anymore
Whoaaa
And here we go again
I’m starting on my own
26 years
apart for one
And I’m standing all alone
I’m not that bad
In my
In my heart
I am guilty
And of that I confess
I have been thinking of another girl in obsess
I am sorry if it causes distress
But I never loved you
I never loved you
Whoaaa
And here we go again
I’m starting on my own
26 years
AND HALF OF ONE
And I’m standing all alone

I’m not that bad
In my
In my heart
You can judge me
If you know me so well
I can’t change my spots
And won’t brake out of my shell
They will commit me
To a lifetime in hell
But
I can’t remember where my innocence fell
Whoaaa
And here we go again
I’m starting on my own
26 years

I Want You Lyrics – James Blunt
The guilty undertaker sighs,
The lonesome organ grinder cries,
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you.
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn,
But it's not that way,
I wasn't born to lose you.
[Chorus]
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.
The drunken politician leaps
Upon the street where mothers weep
And the saviors who are fast asleep,
They wait for you.
And I wait for them to interrupt
Me drinkin' from my broken cup
And ask me to
Open up the gate for you.
[Chorus]
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.
Now all my fathers, they've gone down
True love they've been without it.
But all their daughters put me down
'Cause I don't think about it.
Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
And talk with my chambermaid.
She knows that I'm not afraid
To look at her.
She is good to me
And there's nothing she doesn't see.
She knows where I'd like to be
But it doesn't matter.
[Chorus]
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit,
He spoke to me, I took his flute.
No, I wasn't very cute to him,
Was I?
But I did it, though, because he lied
Because he took you for a ride
And because time was on his side
And because I ...
[Chorus]
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.
The lonesome organ grinder cries,
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you.
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn,
But it's not that way,
I wasn't born to lose you.
[Chorus]
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.
The drunken politician leaps
Upon the street where mothers weep
And the saviors who are fast asleep,
They wait for you.
And I wait for them to interrupt
Me drinkin' from my broken cup
And ask me to
Open up the gate for you.
[Chorus]
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.
Now all my fathers, they've gone down
True love they've been without it.
But all their daughters put me down
'Cause I don't think about it.
Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
And talk with my chambermaid.
She knows that I'm not afraid
To look at her.
She is good to me
And there's nothing she doesn't see.
She knows where I'd like to be
But it doesn't matter.
[Chorus]
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit,
He spoke to me, I took his flute.
No, I wasn't very cute to him,
Was I?
But I did it, though, because he lied
Because he took you for a ride
And because time was on his side
And because I ...
[Chorus]
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.
If There's Any Justice Lyrics – James Blunt
If there's any justice in the world,
I would be your man,
You would be my girl,
If I'd found you first you know its true,
He would be alone,
I would be with you.
When you decide, don't let me down,
Coz there's nothing to be certain in my life,
And you've seen a thousand times
There's not much justice in the world
If there's any justice in your heart,
You love really changed,
Ease it into heart,
Why don't you remember how it feels,
Not to give a damn,
For anyone but me
I cant believe you'd be decieved,
Changing memories from truth to fantasy,
Where there's nothing left but tears,
there's not much justice in the world
Just because he's wrapped around your finger,
Don't fool yourself with dreams that might appear,
Everytime you'll stop and trust your feelings,
The truth is out there somewhere
It's just blowing in the wind
If there's any justice in the world,
I would be your man,
You would be my girl,
If I'd found you first you know its true,
He would be alone,
I would be with you,
When you decide, don't let me down,
Coz there's nothing to be certain in my life,
And you've seen a thousand times
There's not much justice in the world
If I should lose you girl you know,
That there's not much justice in the world
Sugar-Coated lyrics - james blunt
I'm on a bus. I'm in a rush.
I would catch a cab, but I'm not that fussed.
Another day. Another dime.
I know some might say, that I'm wasting time.
And then at night, another fight,
And I don't know what it means but I'd never cause a scene.
I'm gonna make today sugar-coated.
I'm gonna get so high I'm lying here on the floor.
It's time these shoes of mine were fully loaded.
It's time to sit back and smile.
I've had a smoke and it's been a while.
It's been a while.
Hello dawn. It's good to be.
Did I pay for the girl lying next to me?
I had a love, but little luck.
I don't bleed any more 'cause my heart's been crushed.
And now I'm free - lucky me.
Yeah my girlfriend was a bore, she don't love me anymore.
I'm gonna make today sugar-coated.
I'm gonna get so high I'm lying here on the floor.
It's time these shoes of mine were fully loaded.
It's time to sit back and smile.
I've had a smoke and it's been a while.
It's been a while.
A little hush. A little rush.
I guess now we'll see, if I'm big enough.
Finally it's only me.
Things will never be the same. There's no living life again.
I'm gonna make today sugar-coated.
I'm gonna get so high I'm lying here on the floor.
It's time these shoes of mine were fully loaded.
It's time to sit back and smile.
I've had a smoke and it's been a while.
It's been a while.
I would catch a cab, but I'm not that fussed.
Another day. Another dime.
I know some might say, that I'm wasting time.
And then at night, another fight,
And I don't know what it means but I'd never cause a scene.
I'm gonna make today sugar-coated.
I'm gonna get so high I'm lying here on the floor.
It's time these shoes of mine were fully loaded.
It's time to sit back and smile.
I've had a smoke and it's been a while.
It's been a while.
Hello dawn. It's good to be.
Did I pay for the girl lying next to me?
I had a love, but little luck.
I don't bleed any more 'cause my heart's been crushed.
And now I'm free - lucky me.
Yeah my girlfriend was a bore, she don't love me anymore.
I'm gonna make today sugar-coated.
I'm gonna get so high I'm lying here on the floor.
It's time these shoes of mine were fully loaded.
It's time to sit back and smile.
I've had a smoke and it's been a while.
It's been a while.
A little hush. A little rush.
I guess now we'll see, if I'm big enough.
Finally it's only me.
Things will never be the same. There's no living life again.
I'm gonna make today sugar-coated.
I'm gonna get so high I'm lying here on the floor.
It's time these shoes of mine were fully loaded.
It's time to sit back and smile.
I've had a smoke and it's been a while.
It's been a while.
