Hollywood ~ James Blunt

HOLLYWOOD

She’s gone Hollywood on me.
She thinks every one’s watching.
And it’s all about drugs and money,
And the back door when she leaves.
Who’d you think you are?
You’re just a little fish in a sea of sharks.
From the past you’re hiding,
And you don’t want to be reminded.

No, you don’t even know what you want, know what you’ve got.
No, I don’t even think that I want what’s left of your heart.
I used to think that I could make you happy.
Then you go and throw it right back at it me.
No, you don’t even know what you want, know what you’ve got.

She’s got her dreams from the TV,
But they don’t include me.
It’s like all we’ve been through means nothing.
And there’s nothing left you see.
Who’d you think you are?
Feels like I don’t know you anymore.
We used to be friends and lovers,
And I miss that most of all.

No, you don’t even know what you want, know what you’ve got.
No, I don’t even think that I want what’s left of your heart.
I used to think that I could make you happy.
Then you go and throw it right back at it me.
No, you don’t even know what you want, know what you’ve got.

All you need is a star on your arm,
And a picture to show to your friends.
Sweet nothings till the bitter end.

Next Time I'm Seventeen ~ by James Blunt

Next Time I'm 17

Written by James Blunt, Dan Wilson, and Matt Hales

It was the year of 91

Freddy Mercury was gone

And Nevermind was playing on our radios

We were only 17

I would park out on your street

Wait for dark to see you climbing out your window

Something's gone wrong with the weather

There's a storm out in the desert

But to us that all seemed very far away

Sometimes, when I

Think about those days it makes me wonder

What went by

Oh yeah, left me breathless

She was so damn wild

Sometimes I think those were the best days of our lives. (Ohh)

We were young and reckless

Too soon, out of time

Next time I'm 17

I won't be left behind

She would still be mine

She would still be mine

While the Iron Curtain fell

We were lying in a field

Shared the gin and cigarettes I'd stolen from my dad

We both knew what would happen next

In my cherry red AX

Did she know she was the best I'd ever had

Said we'd always be together

That we'd stay this way forever

The future seemed so very far away

Sometimes, when I

Think about those days it makes me wonder

What went by

Oh yeah, left me breathless

She was so damn wild

Sometimes I think those were the best days of our lives. (Ohh)

We were young and reckless

Too soon, out of time

Next time I'm 17

I won't be left behind

She would still be mine

You must be married now

In some suburban house

Are you happy now?

Do you ever think back to those times?

It was so innocent

Do you ever meet me in your mind?

Oh yeah, she left me breathless

She was so damn wild

Sometimes I think those were the best days of our lives.

We were young and reckless

Too soon, out of time

Next time I'm 17

I won't be left behind

She would still be mine

(Oh yeah, she was)

She'd still be mine

(Sometimes)

Still be mine

(Best days of our lives)

We were young and reckless

Too soon, out of time

Next time I'm 17

I won't be left behind

She would still be mine

Heroes ~ by James Blunt

Heroes

Lyrics by James Blunt

~

You can see it on her face

Her red eyes say she's not safe

How should she know what it means

She is only just a teen

Under her duvet's where she hides

To block the screaming late at night

She can't remember life before

Mama and Daddy went to war

All little girls are full of confusion

Cry all you want coz you're only human

Was all the love just an illusion?

Daddy's not coming home

Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey

Promise that won't be you when you're 50

Cry before the guilty clap your wings

Coz all you're heroes

Are skin and bones

Packed the small bag of things she loves

Deep inside she blames herself

She has nowhere else to go

But that sounds better than what she knows

And as she steps into the dark

Dirty hair and heavy heart

Cold, cold air inside her lungs

Catch a snowflake on her tongue 

All little girls are full of confusion

Cry all you want coz you're only human

Was all the love just an illusion?

Daddy's not coming home

Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey

Promise that won't be you when you're 50

Cry before the guilty clap your wings

Coz all you're heroes

Are skin and bones

And as I heard you shut the door

Went through the window and I saw

The footsteps of my big sister in the snow

Since then not a single day has passed

Where I don't say your name and ask

Where, where did you go?

All little girls are full of confusion

Cry all you want coz you're only human

Was all the love just an illusion?

Daddy's not coming home

Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey

Promise that won't be you when you're 50

Cry before the guilty clap your wings

Coz all you're heroes

Are skin and bones

Kiss This Love Goodbye ~ by James Blunt

KISS THIS LOVE GOODBYE

My one, true love.
You can guess what I’ve been thinking of.
God knows, we’ve tried.
Stayed together while our hearts divided.

Put my boxes in the hall.
I’ll leave my keys behind.
It might not be the end but now it’s time.
To kiss this love goodbye.
To kiss this love goodbye.

You get our friends.
And I will find a little place to rent.
I’ll hear you’re doing fine and,
I’ll pretend you never cross my mind.

So take our photos off the wall.
And renovate your life.
One day we might meet but now it’s time
To kiss this love goodbye.
To kiss this love goodbye.

I give you back your life.
Darling, please don’t cry.

Just put my boxes in the hall.
I’ll leave my keys behind.
It might not be the end but now it’s time.
To kiss this love goodbye.
To kiss this love goodbye.

Telephone ~ by James Blunt

Telephone by James Blunt

Next to your chest like a locket

I on vibrate in your pocket

You've got it in your hand everywhere you go

Up close to your mouth when your voice is low

You think how if I ever get busted

By another mean no matter what the cost is

We're inseparable, disconnectable

Without me you never go too far

I just wanna be your telephone

Keep me on

24/7 365 days

Think about all the time we could waste

I just wanna be your telephone

Never let me go

I know every dirty secret that you keep

Crazy as shit that no one sees

Ooh Oh Oh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Ooh Oh Oh Ooh Ooh

Ooh Oh Oh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Ooh Oh Oh Ooh Ooh

Never would have to be jealous

When you're talking to all of those fellas

Cos I'm the only one that's ever gonna be

So well acquainted with your anatomy

Like a shoulder to cry on

I'm the one thing you rely on

It's like a drug

I'm so in love

Never let anyone break us up

I just wanna be your telephone

Keep me on

24/7 365 days

Think about all the time we could waste

I just wanna be your telephone

Never let me go

I know every dirty secret that you keep

Crazy as shit that no one sees

Ooh Oh Oh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Ooh Oh Oh Ooh Ooh

Ooh Oh Oh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Ooh Oh Oh Ooh Ooh

So here comes the comma,

Guess I better sum up

I'll never be what you need

Cos you love that toy

More than this boy

Charge me on, turn me on

I love it when you use me

All night long

Charge me on, turn me on

I love it when you use me

All night long

Charge me on, turn me on

I love it when you use me

All night long

Charge me on, turn me on

I love it when you use me

Use me (Charge me on)

I just wanna be your telephone

Keep me on

24/7 365 days

Think about all the time we could waste

I just wanna be your telephone

Never let me go

I know every dirty secret that you keep

Crazy as shit that no one sees

Charge me on, (I just wanna be your telephone) turn me on

I love it when you use me

All night long

Charge me on, turn me on

I love it when you use me

All night long

Charge me on, (I just wanna be your telephone) turn me on

I love it when you use me

All night long

Charge me on, turn me on

I love it when you use me

Use me

Charge me on, turn me on

I love it when you use me all night long.

To Swoon Too Might

How does the beginning end,

with a start that only brakes?

The effort that "It" makes,

is hidden in the depth,

of each and every night.

The days are shorter,

as the darkness lengthens Rite.

The weak balance upon the Storm,

the rising "Hi" is silent too,

the measure of know better,

it's Letter!!

My knees are bending to the sound of what I sigh,

the treasure of all, in what I find,

He pries.

Disappointment ranks with a happy tie,

my ride is doing lines.

The Jump is Set,

the course is fine,

the Country crossed with,

Due or Die.

Funny how the stranger passing,

never said goodbye,

in quiet I fear they'll lie,

just turn and let him fly!!

No friend to hold their hand,

know smiles are so grand,

and should you take the time to stand,

so will I.

It's tomorrow,

and it's planned.

Heart To Heart ~ James Blunt

HEART TO HEART

There are times when I don’t know where I stand. (Woah, sometimes!)

You make me feel like I’m a boy and not a man. (Woah, sometimes!)

There are times when you don’t give me a smile. (Woah, sometimes!)

I’ll lie awake at night and worry for a while. (Woah, woah!)

It’s okay cause I know you shine even on a rainy day.

And I can find your halo, guides me to,

Wherever you fall.

If you need a hand to hold,

I’ll coming running because,

You and I won’t part till we die.

You should know we see eye to eye,

Heart to heart.

There are times when I cry cause you’ve shed no tears. (Woah, sometimes!)

Your mind’s so far away but your body is right here. (Woah, sometimes!)

There are times when I’ve just walked out your door. (Woah, sometimes!)

And thought I’d never get to see you anymore. (Woah, woah!)

But it’s okay, cause I know you shine even on a rainy day.

And I can find your halo, guides me to wherever you fall.

Wherever you fall.

If you need a hand to hold,

I’ll coming running because,

You and I won’t part till we die.

You should know we see eye to eye,

Heart to heart.

Bones ~ James Blunt

BONES

I have never been a beautiful boy.

Never liked the sound of my own voice.

I wasn’t cool when I was in my teens.

I never slept, but I did have dreams.

And as I step out in this big old world,

Seven billion just trying to cope.

And everyone of us some day will die but,

Today I’ve never felt more alive.

Can you feel it coming?

Can you feel it coming?

Can you feel it, feel it, feel it,

Running through your bones?

Running through your bones.

Yeah, you set my heart on fire,

And it’s all hard-wired to my bones.

I can count all the things I fear.

I close my eyes but they don’t disappear.

If there’s a God there’s a guarantee,

But if there’s not it’s just you and me.

Can you feel it coming?

Can you feel it coming?

Can you feel it, feel it, feel it,

Running through your bones?

Running through your bones.

Yeah, you set my heart on fire,

And it’s all hard-wired to my bones.

So kiss me before the sun falls down.

Run before your legs give way.

Swallow it all till you drown.

Blue On Blue ~ James Blunt

BLUE ON BLUE

How come you don’t want to see me?

How come you’ve gone and left me alone?

How come you took a slow boat to China?

What can I do if I, I can’t get through to you?

Baby, blue on blue.

I want you more than I ever wanted,

Than I ever needed, anyone I ever knew.

I love you more than ever.

Thought that I would never feel the way that I do.

How long are you gonna leave me here standing?

How long till you’re gonna make up your mind?

How long is your balloon ride to nowhere?

What can I do if I, I can’t be up there with you?

Baby, blue on blue.

I want you more, than I ever wanted,

Than I ever needed, anyone I ever knew.

I love you, more than ever.

Thought that I would never feel the way that I do.

I’m coming under fire. I’m coming under fire.

I’m coming under fire. I’m coming under fire.

Baby, blue on blue.

Postcards ~James Blunt

POSTCARDS

Sundays sitting on your back porch,

And I came armed with a couple of chords,

And I played for you.

You let me keep you entertained,

With stories I exaggerate,

That you know aren’t true.

And as you sit there making daisy chains,

And I throw a hand grenade,

And tell you how it is I really feel for you.

I’m sending postcards from my heart,

With love for a postmark and then,

You’ll know that you make me,

Feel like we’ve been caught.

Like kids in the school-yard again.

And I can’t keep it to myself.

Can’t spell it any better,

L-O-V-E forever.

I hope you know that I’m,

Sending a postcard,

I don’t care who sees what I’ve said.

Or if the whole world knows what’s in my head.

We chased the sun till it got away

On a bicycle that your Daddy made,

But not made for two. 

Then we sat out on your rocking chair,

You with a flower in your hair that I found for you.

But then Monday always comes around,

And it’s sad coz I can’t see you now.

I want you to know you’re always in my head.

I’m sending postcards from my heart,

With love for a postmark and then,

You’ll know that you make me,

Feel like we’ve been caught.

Like kids in the school-yard again.

And I can’t keep it to myself.

Can’t spell it any better:

L-O-V-E forever.

I hope you know that I’m,

Sending a postcard,

I don’t care who sees what I’ve said.

Or if the whole world knows what’s in my head.

You know sometimes it’s hard to see,

Or say the words that torture me,

But inside I know exactly how I feel.

The things that I can’t say outloud,

I’ll find a place to write it down.

I hope that they will find you in the end.

Always Hate Me ~ James Blunt

ALWAYS HATE ME

Oh God it hurt, the moment that I saw you,

With someone else, the one that you belong to.

I never thought I’d drown in my shallow heart.

I’d like to say the things I never used to,

But come today they won’t ever be useful.

I’ve never learnt to use my shallow heart.

I, I, I never meant to hurt you.

It’s just something I do.

I guess it’s not a good excuse.

And she will always hate me.

No matter what I say.

And there is no mistaking the love is gone.

Yeah, she will always hate me.

She said, “you’ve lost me, baby!”

No matter what I say, the love is gone.

Looking back, I guess I’m holding on to,

The good we had, but I know that it’s wrong to,

Cause in the end you’re never gonna hold my heart.

And now she knows, she doesn’t want know me.

I’m not supposed to the one who’s lonely.

I never thought that she could have a cold, cold heart.

I, I, I never meant to hurt you.

It’s just something I do.

I guess it’s not a good excuse.

And she will always hate me.

No matter what I say.

And there is no mistaking the love is gone.

Yeah, she will always hate me.

She said, “you’ve lost me, baby!”

No matter what I say, the love is gone.
