Annie
詹姆仕布朗特James Blunt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought I saw your photograph
having such a laugh, in a magazine
Did it all come tumbling?
Then Annie, you were made for the big time
They said you were a star to be
But the walls came tumbling down
Down
Will you go down on me?
Cause Annie you're a star
You're just not going very far
And all the world will know your name
And you'll be famous as you are
Cause I'll sing for you
Annie, would it be nice to be recognized?
Did you practice your autograph?
But now no ones asked
And it's such a shame
Your dreams are crumbling
Annie, why aren't you big in limelight?
Cause I thought that you said you'd be
A celebrity several years ago
But it all came tumbling down
Down
Will you go down on me?
Cause Annie you're a star
You're just not going very far
And all the world will know your name
And you'll be famous as you are
Cause I'll sing for you
Annie you're a star
You're just not going very far
And all the world will know your name
And you'll be famous as you are
Cause I'll sing for you
Annie you're a star
You're just not going very far
And all the world will know your name
And you'll be famous as you are
Cause I'll sing for you
The song "Annie" by James Blunt is a commentary on the fleeting nature of fame and the ups and downs that come with it. The titular character, Annie, was once a rising star whose name was in the bright lights and whose photograph appeared in a magazine. However, her dreams and aspirations came tumbling down when the walls fell and no one seemed to be interested in her anymore. Blunt wonders whether Annie practiced her autograph and had hoped to be recognized, only to have her dreams crumble.
Blunt questions why Annie never made it big in the limelight, despite being touted as a star to be by the NME (New Musical Express). He laments that although Annie is a star, she is not going very far, and wonders if she will go down on him. Despite her lack of success, Blunt promises to sing for Annie and make her famous as she is.
Overall, the song is a reminder that fame and success are fleeting, and that many people who are touted as being the next big thing never make it as far as they hoped. It is a poignant commentary on the nature of the entertainment industry, and the fickleness of those whose opinion can make or break a performer's career.

@@shashasha1249 Judging the entertainers righteously:
they are:
DECEIVERS
MTFs and FTMs
cowards
masons puppets
greedy
in love of all lies
demon possessed
members of one big club: FREEMASONRY
And they all let us know, by placing the masonic hand signs and symbols into all music videos, movies, concerts, magazines…..

LYRICS!!!
Simona, you're getting older
Your journey's been etched on your skin
Simona, wish I had known that
What seemed so strong has been and gone
I would call you up at a Saturday night
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by, I will always be
In a club with you in 1973
Singing, "Here we go again"
Simona, wish I was sober
So I could see clearly now the rain has gone
Simona, I guess it's over
My memory plays our tune, the same old song
I would call you every Saturday night
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by, I will always be
In a club with you in 1973
Singing, "Here we go again"
I would call you up every Saturday night
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by, I will always be
In a club with you in 1973
Singing, "Here we go again"
I would call you up every Saturday night
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by, I will always be
In a club with you in 1973
Singing, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by, I will always be
In a club with you in 1973
