JAMES BLUNT – If There’s Any Justice

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

JAMES BLUNT – I Can’t Hear The Music

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.

JAMES BLUNT – High

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

JAMES BLUNT – Here We Go Again

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

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
AND HALF OF ONE
And I’m standing all alone
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’m not that bad
In my
In my heart

Whoaaa

And here we go again
I’m starting on my own
26 years
AND HALF OF ONE
And I’m standing all alone
Whoaaa
And here we go again
I’m starting on my own
26 years
AND HALF OF ONE
I’m standing all alone
I’m not that bad
In my
In my heart

I’m not that bad
In my
In my heart

In my heart

JAMES BLUNT – Heart Of Gold

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

JAMES BLUNT – Give Me Some Love

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.

JAMES BLUNT – Don’t Go

And don’t forget that I’ll be watching you
And the meaning of your motives will come shining through.
Is it a warning? Is it an evil sign? Is it a people
Who had lost their mind? Is it the darkness?
Is it a man resigned? Is it a best friend leaving you behind?

And don’t forget that I’ll be watching you,
And the meaning of your motives will come shining through…

Is it a warning? Is it an evil sign? Is it a people
Who had lost their mind? Is it the darkness?
Is it a man resigned? Is it a best friend leaving you behind?
Is it a good thing? Is it a gift in kind?
Is it a prophet with a one-track mind? Is it the finish?
Is it a fearful find? Is it the center
As your brain unwinds?

Don’t go where you been before, don’t go sleeping on a floor
Don’t go down on dirty whore
Don’t lose yourself
Don’t lose yourself
Don’t lose yourself

Is it evil? Is it gonna make u sick?
Is now a time that you realize that you better get out quick?
Is it hunger? Is it making you feel pain?
Did you give your all, ’cause you’re only small and now your body’s drained?
Is it ever gonna stop? Will they ever let you go?
You’re in a rush, they don’t care enough, and they’re thinking very slow…
Time is ticking on; we don’t get a second shot.
And in 60 years, we gotta face our fears and show the cards we’ve got…

Don’t go where you been before, don’t go sleeping on the floor
Don’t go down on dirty whore
Don’t lose yourself
Don’t lose yourself
Don’t lose yourself
Don’t lose yourself
Don’t lose yourself

JAMES BLUNT – Dear Katie

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?

JAMES BLUNT – Dangerous

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]

JAMES BLUNT – Cry

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.

JAMES BLUNT – I Really Want You

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.

JAMES BLUNT – Carry You Home

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

JAMES BLUNT – Calling Out Your Name

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 – Billy

 

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.

JAMES BLUNT – Best Laid Plans

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 – Annie

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.

JAMES BLUNT – 1973

Simona
You’re getting older
Your journey’s been
Etched on your skin

Simona
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”

Simona
Wish I was sober
So I could see clearly now
The rain has gone

Simona
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

JAMES BLUNT – Close Your Eyes

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
That they haven’t got the clarity to have an open mind

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
To your childhood fantasy

Cos you know that the time is right
And you know that we’re dynamites
And you know
That your dreams can be reality if you just made up your mind

So close your eyes (close your eyes)
close your eyes (close your eyes)
close your eyes (close Your of eyes)
and believe in me

And you know that the time is right
And you know that we’re dynamites
And you know that your dreams can be reality if you just made up your mind

So close your eyes (close your eyes)
close Your of eyes (close your eyes)
close your eyes (close your eyes)
And believe in me

(Yeah)

Close your eyes (close your eyes)
Close your eyes (close your eyes)
Close your eyes (close your eyes)
And believe in me.

And believe in me.
