Blunt was educated at Elstree School, Woolhampton, then Harrow School (where he received his nickname 'Blunty'), and finally the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.

He was also on duty for the funeral of the Queen Mother on 9th April, 2002.

The last British artist to do so had been Elton John in 1997 with the song Candle in the Wind.
His second album, All The Lost Souls, was released on 17th September 2007.

Coz I Love You
James Blunt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I won't laugh at you
When you boo-hoo-hoo
'Cause I love you
I can turn my back
On the things you lack
I just like the things you do
Don't you change the things you do
Get me in that spot
With the smile you've got
And I love you
Make me out a clown
When you put me down
I still love you
I just like the things you do
Don't you change the things you do
When you bite your lip
Gonna flip your flip
But I love you
When we're miles apart
You still reach my heart
How I love you
I just like the things you do
Don't you change the things you do
It's cool 'cause I love you
It's your turn
I won't laugh at you
When you boo-hoo-hoo
('Cause I love you)
I can turn my back
On the things you lack
('Cause I love you)
I just like the things you do
Don't you change the things you do
