JAMES BLUNT - WISE MEN
She Said To Me Go Steady On Me
Won't You Tell Me What The Wise Men Said?
When They Came Down From Heaven
Smoked Nine 'Till Seven
All The Shit They Could Find
But They Couldn't Escape From You
Couldn't Be Free Of You
And Now They Know There's No Way Out
And They're Really Sorry For What They've Done
They Were Three Wisew Men Just Trying To Have Some Fun
Look Who's Alone Now
It's Not Me, It's Not Me
Those Three Wise Men
They've Got A Semi By The Seas
Got To Ask Yourself The Question
Where Are You Now?
Really Sorry Now
They Weren't To Know
They Got Caught Up In Your Talent Show
With Your Perkicketty Little B*&Terds In Your Fancy Dress
Who Just Judge Each Other And Try To Impress
But They Couldn't Escape From You
Couldn't Be Free Of You
And Now They Know There's No Way Out
And They're Really Sorry For What They've Done
They Were Three Wisew Men Just Trying To Have Some Fun
Look Who's Alone Now
Those Three Wise Men
They've Got A Semi By The Seas
Got To Ask Yourself The Question
Where Are You Now?
