You're Beautiful

James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" video kinda weirds me out when I stop to think about the lyrics. My comments in bold below.

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
(okay so far)
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
(ok, he saw a pretty girl)
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
(what kind of 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.
(sounding desperate)


Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
(he's high and planning something. Am I the only one worried?)
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
(this is what stalkers think)

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you 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.
("...unless I kill your man.")

Also: In the video, he's taking off his clothes. At the end of the video, he takes his shoes off, puts all his belongings on the floor, then he jumps off a cliff to (apparently) kill himself since he can't be with her! Even though I really like this song, it could be the new stalker anthem.
