Yes, the irony is that James Blunt wrote this song about a guy on drugs obsessing about a beautiful girl. Alas for most people, it takes a blatant parody like this to reveal the original subtext of the song, and that is why James Blunt loves this parody. The laugh is on the audience who thought the song was romantic and not creepy in the first place.
He's right that the song isn't romantic. Having someone you don't know stare at you is downright creepy! And if someone's not interested in you, move on. The song, "Jesse's Girl," by Rick Springfield was similar: he wanted his best friend's girl, but what kind of friend steals his best friend's girlfriend!
My story is as a female I saw a young man on a train everyday when I was young and thought he was lovely - we eventually connected but alas, after many months of dating, we parted ways- he's always been in my heart being my first real love ❤️
I'm not sure if you know but James Blunt sings this song about a girl he once dated and got really close to her and then she left him. a few years later he saw her on the subway, and wanted to sing this song... JEEZ READ INTO IT! :L
Tom is the funniest most witty, cutting, cruel, person on Australian tv. Ive been told I look like him (I do,), and I'm almost as verbally brutal 😉 If I miss Hard Chat, I become violent to my GF because she's the bitch who made me miss it
