#07 James Blunt

Why doesn't James Blunt sing beyond the first line of his first verse? Thanks to some cunning investigative journalism on my part, I have discovered Blunt's "lost" verse...

My life is brilliant
My writing's poor
(A) Second-line escapes me
Of that I'm sure
They give me funny looks now
Even t' piano-man
They think that I've forgot the words
But I've got a plan...

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
[Flipping] 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
