Is it me, or do the lyrics to You’re Beautiful make James Blunt come off as a bit of a lunatic? It doesn’t help matters that in the video he strategically strips items of clothing and accessories from his body and lines them up on the ground in front of him like a guy with a severe case of OCD – then jumps off a bridge.
Basically, the story goes like this: James was on the subway one day, minding his own business when along comes a pretty girl. So, being a typical man, he notices that this girl is attractive – beautiful, actually. Sounds like a pretty normal situation, right?
Wrong. James then becomes somewhat obsessed with the pretty lady and proceeds to have a mental argument with himself that goes something like this:
That girl is beautiful.
But she is with another man.
No worries, I will hatch a plan to make her mine.
Well, now that I think about it I probably will never be with her.
Wait, maybe I will.
No, I won’t.
But then again, we were meant to be together.
Actually, no we weren’t.
Crazy, right? And all of this over a random gal on the subway. Did I mention he was high? That could, in fact, explain a lot of this. But I think the larger point to be made is that James went off on a crazy tailspin over this girl because she smiled at him. So ladies, next time you are in public and see some guy lurking around you, you may (or may not) want to smile at him. In this case, James is an attractive, successful singer/songwriter. But be careful not to beam your pearly whites at the wrong guy because presumably this is what will go through his head:
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,
Fu**ing high,(album version)
Flying high,(radio version)
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.
