James Blunt Tour

Quickly take the Germanic "d" out of Blunt, or else the whole thing looks odd!

Otherwise, who the King Nell is James Blunt?

George

James Bl***t you've never heard of James Bl***t the man is a genius. Check out his myspace he must have one. His lyrics are a marvel. Powdered milk indeed.

Diccus

Another confounder! What the King Nell is myspace?

George

At one point in the Cardinal Newman poem set to music by Elgar, The Dream Of Gerontius, there is a line from the Angel,

"Another Marvel,..."

I always think this must be some Heaven Sent powdered milk! But really powdery milky coffee does not appeal to me!

Those two men [Newman and Elgar], now there were genii!

Dear George

MySpace is a place to hear great music please click here to hear an example

James Bland

I knew it, Diccus starts a thread about one of his favourite singer/songwriters and everybody starts to criticise.

No I am not criticising! I applaud individuality! I just don't think that I have actually heard any JB! That is no reflection on the man's genius. I heard about that from Front Row on Radio Four, but they neither interviewed him, nor played any of the music, so I was still in the dark!

George

PS: Dear ROTF, I now know what myspace is for, but curiosity is something that declines with the years. I suspect this may well be for the young ones! Hehe!!

Q. Blunt and Cullum come at you, and you've only got two bullets left. What do you do?

Dear George - did you try JS Bach's MySpace area - seems everybody's got one these days.

ATB Rotf

A. Let Blunt have them both, in case the first one misses.

George, I hope you've been enjoying the George Herbert and Gerard Manley Hopkins on the new Poetry thread?!

See you in Ashford,
James

Wait till they line up and shoot twice to the head and hope they both go through both?

This ability makes him neither a genius nor particularly clever depending on your point of veiw!

But I'm just waiting for Adam to sort the question of Blunt out as well.

Good idea - better safe than sorry.

To complete your duty to music lovers simply beat Cullum
to death with the empty gun once Blunt's been dispached!

I'd save them - if they tried SINGING I'd shoot myself, but why take them out when I can inflict misery on thousands of others?

It's worth it - even if I STILL have to put up with it.

I can't believe my brother and his family rate Blunt. To be fair, the lyrics have their moments, but that ANNOYING girly voice...

Flying choppers at 12 is pretty cool though - so he ain't all bad!

You're beautiful

James Blunt

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

Yes, she caught my eye
As we walked on by


She could see from my face that
I was flying 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

La la la la la la la la la

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

Right, my main gripe with Jimmie blunt has always been the bit in his stalking classic "Cause i've got a plan". I have scanned the lyrics of the song with the precision of an accountant going through the accounts of a crooked accountant. The problem is he clearly has got no plan at all. He realises that she is a stunner. She glanced at him (maybe he had tomato ketchup on his chin after scoffing a chip butty)"She was with another man" this appears to mean that Blunt is the boyfriend and this chap is some kind of imposter. But Blunt isn't going to loose no sleep because he has a plan. No he bl**dy well doesn't.

My favourite bit is his tribute to the teletubbie in the middle, he clearly loves her (LaLa) so much he name checks her four and a half times - that's dedication.

By the time the song concludes he has realised that unless either a) he wipes the sauce off his chin b) he stops drooling and wipes the saliva from his chin (which is now doing an osmotic thing with the ketchup) c) He bumps off 'the other man' or d)He hands himself in to the 'Rozzers' for breaking his bail conditions the game is over and he might as well go back to his wife.

Blunty didn't even write it on his own he had the help of Sasha Skarbek and Amanda Ghost. With three of them on the job you'd think they'd get the story straight.

Mind I would be happy with the Royalties

Maybe I need to let this go and get back to my model trains in the attic or clean out my caravan.

James Blunt approaches his garage.

"Is my car ready?"
Mechanic/music fan "Yes Mr. Blunt."
"Have you checked everything is OK?"
"Yes Mr. Blunt, have a good evening."

JB gets in car & drives off.
