"What is the meaning of song Wisemen by James Blunt?"

James Blunt
Wisemen

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 'til seven,
All the **** that 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 now for what they've done,
They were three Wise 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 sea.
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 you pernickety little bastards 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 now for what they've done,
They were three Wise 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 sea.
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?

Shouldn't this be in the music sub-forum?

It sounds like a load of BS to me. "They've got a semi by the sea" WTF!?

'I want a lot of money so I'm going to write a song that teens will pretend they find meaningful'. AMIRITE?

'And I achieved it, plus I conned all the housewives into thinking I was sensitive in 'you're beautiful' therefore I am a wiseman' :p:

I get confused between james morrison and james blunt.

They're like two different types of apple.

Granny smith and del monte.

You decide which one's which.

Oh... I hate apples :smile:
