Текст песни:

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

Текст песни:

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

Текст песни:

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,
Fucking high,
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.

@ James Blunt

Текст песни:

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.

Текст песни:

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.

Текст песни:

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

@ James Blunt

Текст песни:

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 arm
make love in a hurry
feel better than I am.
Hope you find yourself in someone else’s eyes

’cause I love anybody 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 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
’cause it’s a lie

’cause I love anybody 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

It sets you free

Текст песни:

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.

Текст песни:

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]

@ James Blunt

Текст песни:

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]

@ James Blunt

Текст песни:

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.

@ James Blunt

Текст песни:

The trouble is her only friend and he′s back again.
Makes her body older, than it really is.
And she says it′s high time she went away,
No one′s got much to say in this town.
The trouble is the only way is down,
Down, down.

As strong as you were, tender you go.
I′m watching you′re 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...
The trouble is the only way is down,
Down, down.

As strong as you were, tender you go.
I′m watching you′re 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 in light,
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′re 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

As strong as you were, tender you go.
I′m watching you′re 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...

@ James Blunt

Текст песни:

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

@ James Blunt

Текст песни:

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 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...

Cry... on my shoulder,
Once again...
Cry... on my shoulder,
I′m a friend...

@ James Blunt

Текст песни:

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.

@ James Blunt

Текст песни:

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?
