karaoke
I found the words to say how I feel
But I just can’t spell them
I lost the nerve in a Suffolk field
So you can tell them
That I’m a different man with a different tune
I didn’t find love until last June
But I lost it, just like I lost it all
I tried to use it to break my fall
‘Cos I need something, anything to replace you
(Verse 1 - Mikill Pane)
Little lady, this is just the worst way to spend your birthday
it's 30 degrees, Thursday
you work late, you was with a perv making dirty fake love in his Mercedes
lady the word 'rape' sums up events that take place every night
you wanna get up but you no your legs will ache if you try
& you remember that your punter went crazy last night
you drag yourself to the mirror to check face then you cry
forget the visit to the clinic you was booked in for
you'll make a trip to the Whittington were they'll look at your jaw
they'll be inquisitive and ask about your business for sure
they'll know your fibbing if you tell them you got hit by a door
but young woman
the pimp see's you as nothing but a dumb hooker
medical attention could be fatal
'cause the cunt wouldn't ever let a doctor near someone thats getting dough for him
'cause next you got poxy authorities sticking their noses in
(Chorus - Ed Sheeran)
She's just under the upper hand
goes mad for a couple grams
& she don't wanna go outside, tonight.
'cos in the pipe she'll fly to the motherland and
sell love to another man
It's too cold outside, for angels to fly.
(Verse 2 - Mikill Pane)
Little lady, your mind you've made up
your injurys you can't hide with make-up
you need some medical advice, you make up
a little lie to say just
in case the doc opens his eyes and don't decide to play dumb
with any luck you'll see the same dude who stiched your top lip
last year when your pimp just lost it
he wouldn't recognise if you stared him in the face anyway
'cos all the heroin is making you age
but your a heroin for taking the strain of being a prostitue and punching bag
the funds you have left go where your from using moneygram
mother had to get you out the motherland to study
that was all she struggled to have a single daughter with the upper hand
little does she know your never coming back
she put you in her brother's hand only for him to formulate another plan
he's the fucking cause of your appalling state the summer fans
see that you came to London to get pimped by your Uncle, damn.
(Chorus - Ed Sheeran)
She's just under the upper hand
goes mad for a couple grams
& she don't wanna go outside, tonight.
'cos in the pipe she'll fly to the motherland and
sell love to another man
It's too cold outside, for angels to fly
Now an angel will die, covered in white
with closed eyes & hoping for a better life
this time, we'll fade out tonight,
straight down the line.
(Verse 3 - Mikill Pane)
Little lady, your trembling with fear
your skinny frame kinda resembles the dear
your sitting facing the detective, oh dear
the meddling nurse couldn't just leave it,
she's only gone and made it much worse calling police and
she'll never know the gravity of the damage she's caused
your causing scandal going mad in the ward now
the coppers trying to calm you, telling you he won't let no one harm you
the same question he keeps trying to ask you, who you working for?
he's talking to like your worth more than a dirty whore
your having a conversation you could be murdered for
your learning more about exactly why you need to help bring him or her to court
it's kicking knowledge you ain't ever heard before
just before he reassures you that he knows that it's hard
he underlines a mobile number you can phone on his card
begs you to use it
he's useless if your gonna be stupid
'cos an answer hasn't come from your bruised lips, your on your own
you've gotta go and give your pimp what you owe
you reach your door and then it dawns that you've been followed home
before you turn around you feel a cold blade on your throat
and then a voice says 'where you been bitch? I wanna know.'
no prizes for guessing who it is, resistance would be foolishness
you open the front door, he boots you in
there's something new in him, he's silent now that fills you with terror
get your albibi straight, you could be killed for an error
he towers over you, the 6 inch knife catches the sunlight
at this point your life flashes before your eyes
your handbags dropped and all the contents are all over the floor
despite the mess there's only one thing that's caught his eye
and in the moment of rage, he brutally murders his niece
and dumps her body in the boot of his Merc in the street.
Little lady left this earth in the worst way
all because she got a card on her 13th birthday
(Chorus - Ed Sheeran)
& We're all under the upper hand
& go mad for a couple grams
& we don't wanna go outside, tonight.
'Cos in the pipe she'll fly to the motherland and
sell love to another man
Come on now
Dry your eyes
I'm sick of all your lies
I've grown to despise you
Already sick of what you're saying
Hoping now I'm only praying
My baby's gone away
And I've already packed my bags
You didn't know me
(I've run away)
You couldn't show me
(What you have to say)
My one and only
Has gone away
Far away
You'll never leave me alone
Now I'm off on my own
I'll never ring your phone again
And still you keep on crying
If I said I loved you
I'd be lying
You need to dry your eyes
And I've still gone to pack my bags
You didn't know me
(I've run away)
You couldn't show me
(What you have to say)
My one and only
Has gone away
She’s reinventing loving me
When we’re resembling cutlery on the sofa
It must have been about 5.01
Like my blue ripped jeans
And my eyes are closed
And I’m way too tired
Hoody still smells of the beach bonfire
On the sofa, where we lay
I wanna stay inside all day
And it’s cold outside, again
And we’re both so high
We could fly to Berlin, Tokyo or Jamaica
We can go where you want
Say the word and I’ll take ya
But I’d rather stay on the sofa
On the sofa, with you
When the morning comes
We’re not watching Formula I
It’s not what we breathe for
So kick off the day with Friends on T4
Two, boiled and brew
Two sugars ain’t too sweet for you
On the sofa, where we lay
I wanna stay inside all day
And it’s cold outside, again
And we’re still so high
We could fly to Berlin, Tokyo or Jamaica
We can go where you want
Say the word and I’ll take ya
But I’d rather stay on the sofa
On the sofa, with you
And it feels like I’m flying
And it feels like
We could go to Berlin, Tokyo or Jamaica
Through the streets of New York
That is where I will take ya
Paris, Rome, to Rio
Passing through Las Vegas
We can go where you want
Say the word, and I’ll take ya
But I’d rather stay on the sofa
On the sofa
Now I'm in town,Break it down,
Thinkin' of making a new sound
Playing a different show everynight in front of a new crowd,
That's you now, Ciao,
Seems that life is great now,
See me loose focus, as i sing to you loud.
And I can't. No. I won't hush,
I say the words that make you blush,
I gonna sing this now (ow,ow)
See I'm true, my songs are where my heart is,
I'm like glue, I stick to other artists,
I'm not you, now that would be disastrous.
So let me sing and do my thing,
and move to greener pastures,
See, I'm real, I do it all, it's all me,
I'm not fake, don't ever call me lazy,
I won't stay put,
Give me a chance to be free
Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me,
Cause' you need me, man, i dont need you
You need me, man, i don't need you
You need me, man, i don't need you
Until,You need me, man, i don't need you
You need me, man, i dont need you
You need me, man, i don't need you
You need me, man, i don't need you
Until, you need me.
See, i write my own tune,
and i write my own verse,
don't need another wordsmith, to make my tune sell.
Call yourself a singer-writer,
You're just bluffing,
Your names on the credits,
You didn't write nothing,
I sing fast,
I know that all my sh*ts cool,
I will blast,
and i didn't go to brit school.
I came fast with the way i act, right.
I can't last if i'm smoking on a crack pipe,
I won't be a product of my genre,
My mind will always be stronger than my songs are,
Never believe the bullsh*t that the fake guys feed to ya'
Always read the stories that you hear in Wikipedia,
And musically I'm demonstrating,
When I perform live, feels like I am meditating
Times at The Enterprise when some fella filmed me
A young singer-writer like Gabriella Cilmi
You need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don't need you,
Until,You need me, man, I don't need you,
You need me, man, I don't need you,
You need me, man, I don't need you,
Until,You need me.
With the lyrics I'll be aiming it right,
I won't stop till' my names in lights,
At stadium heights,
with Damien Rice, on red carpets
Now I'm on Arabian nights,
Because I'm young, and I know my brothers' gonna give me advice.
Long nighter, short height and I've gone hyper
Never be anything but a singer-songwriter
The games over but now I’m on a new level
Watch how I step on the track without a loop pedal
People think that I’m bound to blow up
I’ve done around about a thousand shows
But I haven’t got a house plus I live on the couch
So you can be the lyrics when I’m singing them out
(wow)
From day one, I’ve been prepared
With vo5 wax for my ginger hair
So now I’m back to the sofa giving a dose of what the future holds
Cause it’s another day
Plus I’ll keep my last name forever keep the genre pretty basic
Gonna be breaking into other people’s tunes when I chase it
And replace it with the elephant in the room with a facelift
Into another rappers shoes using new laces
Selling cds from my rucksack aiming for the papers
Selling cds from my rucksack aiming for majors
Nationwide til’ we’re just jack, soon as I get the bus back
Clean cut kid without a razor for the moustache
I hit back when the pen hurts me
I’m still a choir boy in a Fenchurch tee
I’m still the same as a year ago
But more people hear me though
According to the myspace and youtube videos
I’m always doing shows, if I’m not I’m in the studio
Truly broke, never growing up call me *Ruffio
Melody music maker
Reading all the papers
They say I’m up and coming like im f*cking in an elevator
Cause you need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you, at all
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you, at all
Well my friend it seems we’ve come too far to disagree
My knees feel weak and I fell too fast
The tide is high but we swam in too deep
To catch your breath you tear me apart piece by piece
You can take away all this mess
And I could never think anything less of you
‘Cos you break me
You numb me
You still seem to stun me
This pain has outrun me
You are all I have left
The tide flows out as I leave empty rooms
To spur this on we left that room too long
You open wide and all the lies flow out
To eat you whole
But we both know that you’re too cold
And she said ‘I can put away all those lies
And show you there’s no surprise in me’
Well still, you break me
You numb me
You still seem to stun me
This pain has outrun me
You are all that I have left
Exorcise these demons
But they keep talking to me
I am no believer
But I believe you will relieve me
I believe you will relieve me
And that’s what’s going on
‘Cos you break me
You numb me
You still seem to stun me
This pain has outrun me
You are all that I have left
Featuring: Wiley, Ed SheeranThe thoughts I have could be clear ones and they can seem vivid but not near ones feather than limits I block her out so when I'm looking through my mind she ain't in it can I be free for a minute? Can I be me for a minute the thoughts I have could be dark ones even be smart ones, you know I'm going to have a couple straight from the heart once, tell you what I think I will until I depart mum it's you that I live for I'm the first and the last ones,I love you lots
I felt the fall on my breast
At the bottom of my stomach
She put my hand on her chest
While she looked into my eyes
You rescued me
And called up these words in threes
And you know I can’t forget it
And 10 months on you liberate truth
See, I was wrong on how I hate you
And it’s the worst thing that I did
When I read through you
You weren’t translated
So I looked up love in the Yellow Pages
So I’d be free from it
See, all this truth sparks lies in me
Just to demonstrate, aggravate sympathy
The key is just to ignore
Even if this time has made me unsure
And 12 months on I’m back in my mood
See, I got drunk and said I loved you
And it’s the worst thing that I did
When I read through you
You weren’t translated
So I looked up love in the Yellow Pages
Treat me beneath this clear night sky
And I will lie with you
I start to feel those butterflies
When I’m next to you
Tell me your secrets
Give me a friend
Let all the good times flood in
Do I love you?
Do I hate you?
I can’t make up my mind
So let’s freefall
See where we land
It’s been this way since we were young
We’ll fight and then make up
I’ll breathe your air into my lungs
When I feel your touch
Tell me your secrets
Give me a friend
Let all the good times flood in
Do I love you?
Do I hate you?
I can’t make up my mind
So let’s freefall
i am a poor, wayfaring Stranger
traveling through this world alone
there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright land, to which i go
i'm going there to see my mother
i'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home now
(Hey-ey-ey yeah....)
And i know dark clouds, will gather me
and I know my way, is rough and steep
and the beautiful fields lie just beyond me
and i know my way, is rough and steep
i'm going there to see my mother
and i'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home now
cause i am a poor, wayfaring Stranger
traveling through this world alone
there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright land, to which i go
i'm going there to see my mother
and i'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
Well I once heard a story about a run-down home
Where a man and his thoughts lived all alone
He tried to live, no effort was shown
He’s slowly finding a way back home
He had a family with smiles and frowns
They never could solve his way to be down
Cos he’s one dog who don’t want a bone
He’s slowly finding a way back home
He had a nice house with windows and doors
He said to his wife what’s mine is yours
But the seeds of deception are soon to be sown
He’s slowly finding a way back home
His children have left but the rooms are still there
His misses the noise and the scents in their hair
But far from the nest the babies have flown
He’s slowly finding a way back home
His wife was an angel sent from above
He never returned her kisses or love
But soon he’d found that she’d overgrown
This man who’s finding a way back home
So the leaves are all dead in this broken man’s June
The rain will still fall on the sunny afternoon
He stares at the floor, no more to roam
He’s slowly finding a way back home
Well I once heard a story about a run-down home
Where a man with regrets lived all alone
He tried to live, no effort was shown
I should ink my skin, with your name.
And take my passport out again,
and just replace it.
See I could do without a tan on my left hand,
where my fourth finger meets my knuckle.
And I should run you a hot bath, fill it up with bubbles.
'Cause maybe your loveable,
and maybe your my snowflake,
and your eyes turn from green to grey,
in the winter I'll hold you in a cold place.
And you should never cut your hair,
'cause I love the way you flick it off your shoulder, (mm)
And you will never know, just how beautiful you are to me,
but maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up.
And Would you ever feel guilty? If you did the same to me.
Would you make me a cup of tea, to open my eyes in the right way?
And I know you love shrek, 'cause we've watched it twelve times.
But, maybe you're hoping for a fairy-tale to, but if your DVD breaks today,
You should of got a VCR, because I've never owned a blueray, true say.
And I've always been shit at computer games, and your brother always beats me,
And if I lost, i'd go across and chuck all the controllers at the tv, and then you'd laugh at me,
and be asking me, if I'm going to be home next week,
and then you'd lie with me, until I fall asleep,
and flutter an eyelash on my cheek, between the sheets.
And you will never know, just how beautiful you are to me,
but maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up.
And I think you hate the smell of smoke,
you always try get me to stop,
You drink as much as me, and I get drunk alot,
So I take you to the beach, and walk along the sand,
And I'll make you a heart pendant, with a pebble held in my hand.
And I'll carve it like a necklace, so the heart falls where your chest is,
And now a piece of me, is a piece of the beach, and it falls just where it needs to be, and rests peacefully.
You just need to breathe, to feel my heart against yours now, against yours now.
But maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up.
But maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up.
Well maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up,
Maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up,
I found your hairband on my bedroom floor,
The only evidence that you've been here before
And I don't get waves of missing you anymore,
They're more like tsunami tides in my eyes
Never getting dry, so I get high, smoke away the days then I sleep with the light on
Weeks pass in the blink of an eye,
And I'm still drunk by the end of the night
I don't drink like everybody else,
I do it to forgetting things about myself,
I'm stumbling forward from the spin I've got
My minds with you but my hearts just not
So am I close to you anymore, if it's over
And there's no chance that we'll work it out
That's why you and I ended over U N I
And I said that's fine, but your the only one that knows I lied
You and I ended over U N I
And I said that's fine, but your the only one that knows I lied
Everybody said that we'll be together forever but I know that,
I never wanna settle down, come around, break up the love like lego now,
Never wanna turn into another like you,
Sleep with my thoughts dance with my views,
Everythings great but everythings short,
But you live in your halls and I live in a tour bus,
Now I'm in position to be another stalker and every thing I say seems to always sound akward,
Like our last kiss it was perfect, we were nervous,
On the surface,
And I'm always saying everyday that it was worth it,
Pain is only relevent if it still hurts,
I forget like an elephant, or we can use a sedative and go back to the day we fell inlove on first
kiss
So am I close to you anymore, if it's over
And there's no chance that we'll work it out
That's why you and I ended over U N I
And I said that's fine, but your the only one that knows I lied
You and I ended over U N I
And I said that's fine, but your the only one that knows I lied
Wo-ooooahhhh [x2] oohh ohh
Because, if I was gonna go somewhere, I'd be there by now,
And maybe I can let myself down, wo-oahh
And thinking that I am unaware, I keep my feet on the ground, keep looking around, to make sure I'm not, the only one to feel low,
Because if you want, I'll take you in my arms and keep you sheltered, from all that I've done wrong
And I know you'll say, that I'm the only one
But I know that god made another one of me to love you better than I ever will
That's why you and I ended over UNI
and I said that's fine but your the only one who knows that I lied
That's why you and I ended over UNI
Strings on my guitar are rusty
Even my best friends don't trust me
Everybody thinks I must be crazy
'Cos, I'm your typical average teen
If you know what I mean
(Typical average teen)
'Cos, I'm your typical average teen
If you know what I mean
(Typical average teen)
Everything's in a haze
Yeah, the drink's got me in a daze
Everything's blurry
Oh, what's happened to me?
Say, I'm your typical average teen
If you know what I mean
(Typical average teen)
Now, I'm your typical average teen
If you know what I mean
Sing the song Celestial Man
Shake the thing your mother gave ya!
Tear your lungs out, scream your heart
Be on your worst behaviour
I’d wager that you’re gonna take it
Make you fight nature, born and raised in
Funk those things that make you go bump in the night
Turn off the dark, put on the light
And he said ‘You and your big cheeks have got me’
Along with ‘Disarm’ and ‘Flooded Quarry’
Turn off the base with the beat-box detox
Pull off the pace, while you sing with no socks
Lampshades, carpets, the stage black
You make the room’s hands laugh as they clap
You make my mouth water with support acts
They could even match you in talent - ignore that!
Gary Dunne and Newton Faulkner ain’t wrong
He’s got me singing to ‘Amerikan Folk Song’
Loop pedal class is used as weaponry
You gotta know your enemy
Gotta check your distance
Don’t talk, only whisper
Slap the base so hard you get blisters
Chikka boom, boom, chikka boom
JP beat-box, feet as flip-flops
Doing the hip hop, mixed with the warm sock
And Stephanie propped up, up by the mic stand
This ain’t no fake, it’s music in your hand
As you run into the centre of the crowd
Silence falls like water
You just wanna shout ‘Wow!’
How did they even have the guts to do it ?
If your name’s Nizlopi, then there ain’t much to it
This is start of something beautiful
This is start of something new
You are the one that make me loose it all
You are the start of something new, ooh
And I throw it all away
Watch you fall into my arms again
And I throw it all away
Watch you fall, now
You are the earth I will stand on
You are the words I will sing
And I thrown it all away
Watched you fall into his arms again
And I thrown it all away
Watched you fall, now
And take me back
Take me home
Watch me fall, down to earth
Take me back, home
This is start of something beautiful
Sorrow and sadness, bitterness, grief
Memories I have of you
Won't leave me in peace
My mind was running back
To the west coast of Clare
Thinking of you
And the times we had there
I walked to Spanish Point
I knew I'd find you there
I stood on the white strand
You were everywhere
Vivid memories fade
But the mood still remains
I wish I could go back
And be with you again
In Milltown there's a pub
It’s there that I sat down
I see you everywhere
Your face is all around
The search for times past
Contains such sweet pain
I'll banish lonesome thoughts
But they’ll return again
I walk along the shore
The rain in my face
My mind is numb with grief
Of you there is no trace
I'll think of this again
In far off lands I roam
Walking with you
By this cold Atlantic fog
Sorrow and sadness, bitterness, grief
Memories I have of you
Won't leave me in peace
My mind was running back
To the west coast of Clare
Thinking of you
Pass me a drink
You say it’s gonna take a while
Your consciousness sinks
Tears from a crocodile
You’re wasting your time
Giving me the speech
You try to, don’t reach
Your smile
You’re holding your tears
Your inside is dead
You’re eating your fears
In a cigarette
You’ve waited too long
To finally see
The sunshine in the rain
Is as deep as the sea
I’ve taken the blow
It’s all down on paper
Had fun in the snow
But no ‘see you later’
You’re wasting your time
Giving me the speech
You try to, don’t reach
Your smile
You’re holding your tears
Your inside is dead
You’re eating your fears
In a cigarette
You’ve waited too long
To finally see
The sunshine in the rain
This city never sleeps
I hear the people walk by when it’s late
Sirens bleed through my windowsill
I can’t close my eyes
Don’t control what I’m into
This tower is alive
The lights that blind keep me awake
With my hood up and lace untied
Sleep fills my mind
Don’t control what I’m into
London calls me a stranger
A traveller
This is now my home, my home
I’m burning on the back street
Stuck here sitting in the backseat
And I’m blazing on the street
What I do isn’t up to you
And if the city never sleeps
Then that makes two
The pavement is my friend
It will take me where I need to go
I find it trips me up
And puts me down
This is not what I’m used to
The shop across the road
Fulills my needs and gives me company
When I need it
Voices speak through my walls
I don’t think I’m gonna make it
Past tomorrow
London calls me a stranger
A traveller
This is now my home, home
I’m burning on the back street
Stuck here sitting in the backseat
I’m blazing on the street
What I do isn’t up to you
And if the city never sleeps
Then that makes two
And my lungs hurt
And my ears bled
With the sound of the city life
Echoed in my head
Do I need this to keep me alive?
The traffic stops and starts
But I need to move along
I’m from a city where the rain won’t cease
Pollution in the air matches that on the street
The black smoke gets you head into a muddle, like
Walking into elephant syringes in the puddle, like
I was a country boy when I moved out
Grew up too fast for my family to find out
Now I try to stop my music running into nosedives
Can’t resort to arrogance with white lies
This city won’t erase me
But I can’t help to see how this dark city changed me
It’s all the same scene, music is my life
But now I try to fight whatever I need to hide from
North, South, East, West, London’s my home now
Knees weak, but we never slow down
Now I start to do my music properly
And stay from all the negative shit that will follow me
London calls me a stranger
This is not my home, home
I’m burning on the back street
Stuck here sitting in the backseat
I’m blazing on the street
What I do isn’t up to you
And if the city never sleeps
This city never sleeps
I hear the people walk by when it’s late
Sirens bleed through my windowsill
I can’t close my eyes
Don’t control what I’m into
This tower is alive
The lights that blind keep me awake
With my hood up and lace untied
Sleep fills my mind
Don’t control what I’m into
London calls me a stranger
A traveller
This is now my home, my home
I’m burning on the back street
Stuck here sitting in the backseat
I’m blazing on the street
What I do isn’t up to you
And if the city never sleeps
Then that makes two
The pavement is my friend
Hey, and it will take me where I need to go
I find it trips me up
And puts me down
This is not what I’m used to
The shop across the road
Fulfills my needs and gives me company
When I need it
Voices speak through my walls
I don’t think I’m gonna make it
Past tomorrow
London calls me a stranger
A traveller
This is now my home, my home
I’m burning on the back street
Stuck here sitting in the backseat
I’m blazing on the street
What I do isn’t up to you
And if the city never sleeps
Then that makes two
And my lungs hurt
And my ears bled
With the sound of the city life
Echoed in my head
Do I need this to keep me alive?
The traffic stops and starts
But I need to move along
London calls me a stranger
This is not my home
I’m burning on the back street
Stuck here sitting in the backseat
I’m blazing on the street
What I do isn’t up to you
And if the city never sleeps
White lips, pale face
Breathing in snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Light's gone, day's end
Struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange men
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
Cos we're just under the upperhand
And go mad for a couple of grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
Ripped gloves, raincoat
Tried to swim and stay afloat
Dry house, wet clothes
Loose change, bank notes
Weary-eyed, dry throat
Call girl, no phone
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
Cos we're just under the upperhand
And go mad for a couple of grams
But she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
An angel will die
Covered in white
Closed eye
And hoping for a better life
This time, we'll fade out tonight
Straight down the line
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
They scream
The worst things in life come free to us
And we're all under the upperhand
Go mad for a couple of grams
And we don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe we fly to the Motherland
Or sell love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
To fly, fly
Angels to fly, to fly, to fly
Stevie was a boy
Who turned into a man
He never had no master plan
But I knew that he could
Find right from wrong
Sing me a different song
He told me which road to take
And now I’m gone
Keep on singing
Make her life whole
Stevie you’re winning
And I just feel cold
Take your life beyond the mark
You can do no wrong
When I lose my way in the dark
Keep singing your song
Please come follow me
I find it hard to breathe
Please come follow me
Take me with you I do declare
I love you dearly through here and there
What can I do to make you share?
What can I do to make you care?
The world is harsh
I’m stuck in the dark
I’ll make my mark
I’ve got my spark
We’d be together through bad or worse
Sending letters we shall converse
We could do better but we must first
Make amends
That depends
Will you be my friend?
The world is harsh
I’m stuck in the dark
I’ll make my mark
Filled up with doubt
I have to move home
But I want to stay with you
For all of the summer
I have my plan
That you won’t remember
If you want to see the world
Then please ask your mother
I cannot hold your hand
To watch you go
I am a liar
As you might know
I need you now
I need your touch
And your lips
I need that smile
And your kiss
You’re so cool
You’re so beautiful
You’re so
You’re so
I see your grace
From my window
When it is late at night
It’ll show me your shadow
I’m in my place
Hope you remember
When summer’s gone
I’ll still sing a song
Of you in September
I cannot hold your hand
To watch you go
I am a liar
As you might know
I need you now
I need your touch
And your lips
I need that smile
And your kiss
You’re so cool
You’re so beautiful
You’re so
You’re so
These words I say mean
You’re so amazing
I’ve noticed lately
I need you, maybe
You’re so cool
You’re so beautiful
You’re so
Just give me a pen and I’ll write my worries
Now and again I’ll try and not see that you don’t care
Taking the time to taste and savour
Life’s bitter wine and childish behaviour
But you don’t care
And hey, I don’t speak that language of youth
And hey, oh not the one that speaks truth
And hey, I lay in this world for a while
When all is lost just smile
They’ve written the dates and the times to follow
See all the fakes that look so hollow
But you don’t care
What ever happened to the youth and culture?
Wear chains and the same fecking Lonsdale jumper
So you don’t care
And hey, I don’t speak that language of youth
And hey, oh not the one that speaks truth
And hey, I lay in this world for a while
[Verse 1]
You were just a Small Bump unborn, in Four months you're brought to life,
You might be left with my hair, but you'll have your Mother's eyes,
I'll hold your body in my hands be as gentle as I can, but for now you're scan of my unmade plans,
Small bump four months you are brought to life
[Bridge]
and ill whisper quietly, I'll give you nothing but truth,
If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you
[Chorus]
you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
And you'll be alright. [Verse 2]
You're just a small bump unknown, you'll grow into your skin.
With a smile like hers and a dimple beneath your chin.
Finger nails the size of a half grain of rice.
And eyelids closed to be soon opened wide a small bump, in Four months you'll open your eyes.
[Bridge]
and I'll hold you tightly, and tell you nothing but truth,
If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you
[Chorus]
you are my one, and only.
and You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
And you'll be alright. [Verse 3]
and You can lie with me, with your tiny feet when your half asleep, I'll leave you be.
Right in front of me for a couple weeks.
So I can keep you safe.
[Chorus]
Cause you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
And you'll be alright. [Verse 4]
cause You were just a small bump unborn for four months then torn from life.
Skinny love, just last the year,
pour a little salt, we were never here.
m-m-my, m-m-my, m-m-m-my, m-my
I paid all my dues
And she wanted to know
That I’d never leave her
Now I’m ready to go
And strange as it seems
She’s endless to me
She’s just like paperwork
But harder to read
Patience, my enemy
And loving’s my friend
It’s harder to leave
With my heart on my sleeve
Than to stay and just pretend
Oh, she knows me so well
Oh, she knows me like I know myself
I made all my plans
And she has made hers
She kept me in mind
But I wasn’t sure
I searched every room
For a way to escape
But every time
I tried to leave
She keeps holding on to me
For dear life
And blocking my way
Patience, my enemy
And loving’s my friend
It’s harder to leave
With my heart on my sleeve
Than to stay and just pretend
Oh, she knows me so well
Oh, she knows me like I know myself
And like the back of her hand
She already understands everything
Won’t you stay?
She says
And she already knows how it goes
And where she stands
I’ll stay, anyway
Cos she knows me so well
Oh, she knows me like I know myself
Oh, she knows me so well
Sara, what you do is enlighten my mind
Oh wow, I said
Sara, what you do is make my soul unwind
Hey now
‘Cos your hair is blonde, your eyes are blue
Half the guys I know are after you
Cheer me up when I’m in a mood
So I thought I’d write a song for you
And may I say, you look like an angel today
May I say, take me to the place where your mind lays
If only to make you smile today
‘Cos you are great, I thought I’d say that
Sara, reminds me of drunken talks in a hammock
Behind a can of Strongbow
Oh wow, I said
Sara, you say that you don’t look good when you do
Even with that soul
Your hair is blonde, your eyes are blue
Half the guys I know are after you
Cheer me up when I’m in a mood
So I thought I’d write a song for you
And may I say, you look like an angel today
May I say, take me to the place where your mind lays
If only to make you smile today
‘Cos you are great, I thought I’d say that
May I say, you look great
Hi, my name is JME, there was a time when radio played me
Cause my music came from my heart, it was real to me
But now it's a part
I'm here struggling, keeping it real, while the rest of them are hustling, seeking a deal
Sometimes I sit back and think, JME just do one tune, make a couple cheese and chill
The reason I started making music is the exact same reason that I'll never do it, I swear
I didn't go through all of that for this,
I'll give that a miss, that's just how it is, I'm fair, straight
Who can tell me different? you could be determined
Man on a mission, my music is me, and I am my music
So like it or lump it, I'ma do this
[Chorus]
I never had a playlist in my heart, ooh
Now I need an A list just to chart
But I've been famous from the start
How am I gonna make my mark? ooh
Are you gonna play me though? this song was never meant for the radio
I get it in forget a radio spin, I'm just doing my thing, and I don't have time for a playlist
How much will you pay me though? If this song's not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh
Thank God for night clubs and the raves
Cos I don't think they like us on the airwaves
Unless we water it down, but cordial music is boring me now
I swear, I guess it matters what your goal is
Or in this music scene, what your role is
I'm still trying here, cause I'm a pioneer
I use my mouth less than I use my eyes and ears
See I'm just telling you the truth
Cant shoot the messenger, bullet proof booth,
You won't hear me on the radio, but go to the rave, and the crowd, they're raising roof
Why does that? What's going on there?
To tell you the truth, I don't really care
I am my music, my music is me
Like it or lump it, this is how it's gonna be
[Chorus]
I never had a playlist in my heart, ooh
Now I need an A list just to chart
But I've been famous from the start
How am I gonna make my mark? ooh
Are you gonna play me though? this song was never meant for the radio
I get it in forget a radio spin, I'm just doing my thing, and I don't have time for a playlist
How much will you pay me though? If this song's not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh
I feel it on the airwave, spinning on the dial
Bleeding through the speakers, written by the pile
So won't you hear me out?
Never feel it from the base line, feel it in the club
Maybe I could take time singing for the dub
So won't you hear me out?
[Chorus]
I never had a playlist in my heart, ooh
Now I need an A list just to chart
But I've been famous from the start
How am I gonna make my mark? ooh
Are you gonna play me though? this song was never meant for the radio
I get it in forget a radio spin, I'm just doing my thing, and I don't have time for a playlist
In shadow there lies hope
Cut tension with a knife
I find it hard to cope
Stop playing with my life
You analyse my fears
Analyse my dreams
Choke on burning tears
Through my silent screams
Things aren’t what they seem
Tell a hundred craftsmen to work on me
Tell this army of angels to make me breathe
Open doors just to take away the key
I’ll let you all see that I’m doing better
Watch me fall
As I stumble at your feet
Always losing in this game
Your lies cut me deep
And you don’t even know my name
With your consistency
To always make me crawl
And my durability
Not affected at all
Still things aren’t what they seem
Tell a hundred craftsmen to work on me
Tell this army of angels to make me breathe
Open doors just to take away the key
I’ll let you all see that I’m doing better
Feel the pain
On my brain
Feel the strain
As I start to decay
Feel the strain
Every passing day
Feel the pain
As I start to decay
Tell a hundred craftsmen to work on me
Tell this army of angels to make me breathe
Open doors just to take away the key
Face me, are you tired of living?
Replace, she was so unforgiving
And I’m so frustrated, so dilated
And she’s telling me I’ve wasted my time
And I’m running back like, just to face the facts right
To tell me your voice takes me through the night
Your smile and your memory
Simply eases me to sleep
In my ear while the whispering
Melts my heart on every beat
Still you’re singing lullabies and postcards to this place
And we’re asking for so much more
Now you’re bringing smiles and laughter to this face
While bad memories are in pieces on the floor
Face me, are you tired of living?
Replace, she was so unforgiving
And I’m so frustrated, so dilated
And she’s telling me I’ve wasted my time
And I’m running back like, just to face the facts right
To tell me your voice takes me through the night
Time past, heal this broken heart
Pulled away that sellotape
Take your time, ‘cos I won’t mind
I doubt if I even know that I’m awake
And still you’re singing lullabies and postcards to this place
And we’re asking for so much more
Now you’re bringing smiles and laughter to this face
You know I got to get away
To find some peace and sanity
I’ve been playing hide-and-seek too long
Shaking, making, everybody waking
Setting the hi-fi bleed
Keeping me back
While you’re spinning my track
That’ll knock you off your feet
Monkey see what monkey do
But I’m a monkey telling you
I just think that we should take a break
Tickity-tock the clock
With the hip-hop
And alonestar backing me up
We won’t stop
I gotta be searching for my peace of mind
Now let the track rewind
And play, let the music play
It came, so let the music say what it feels
Shame, shame it took too long
To see that you were wrong
Now turn the song back on
This is Alonestar coming at you
With a new style
Kicking dust
Ready to bust
It's Urban Angel
Artistic, flipping the script
Who d'you really want to get it with?
Ed and Alonestar
We're like live wires sparking
Ready to blow
We've already sown our seeds
We're just waiting to grow - blow
We're gonna lift you like a shock to your body
Metaphorical speech when we come and see
You ducking for cover
Sheeran Lock coming ready to rock
With Urban Angel and Alonestar
And Ed - keep it locked
Let the beat pump
Drop the bass but don't stop
We're kicking the sound
Let the bass bins pound
We're gonna roll
Can you feel me now with my body?
Get down to the sound
It's Ed Sheeran in the place
And Alonestar rising up
We gotta rise up
I said rise up
And play, let the music play
It came, so let the music say what it feels
Shame, shame it took so long
To see that you were wrong
Parting Glass by Ed SheeranOf all the money that e'er I had
I've spent it in good company
And all the harm that e'er I've done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lord
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
A man may drink and not be drunk
A man may fight and not be slain
A man may court a pretty girl
And perhaps be welcomed back again
But since it has so ordered been
By a time to rise and a time to fall
Come fill to me the parting glass
Goodnight and joy be with you all
If should glass kill
The arms in could and lights
From the bulletproof left
We are the mirror and suicide
Better plot to hand the glass
Cellophane the mercy to arms
Forward the shots leads to watch
Kill controller the noise an lines
Touch and burned the insides
The breathless and lights in the dead
Speaker of the dead in chicago rusted
Awakening the rusted and roads
Remove the crushing below the inside
Fresh out ride and glass
Inside the aim controller lines
Closure behind the stage
The chosen bitter the dedications
Reds and the capitalist
Can’t get you off my mind
Look at me and you will find
Time after time it seems
I’ll say what I don’t mean
In your world we were the same
In mine now you’re the one to blame
You can’t remember my name
We’re lost, it’s such a shame
Listen to me
Stop making me see
What I’ve been waiting for
Listen to me
Stop making me see
I’m strong yet proud
I’m quiet yet loud
And I’m everything
You want in me
I’m small yet tall
I have it all
And I’m everything
You want me to be
Listen to me
Stop making me see
What I’ve been waiting for
Listen to me
Stop making me see
And I still feel like
I need you still
And I still feel like
I’m on some pill
And I still feel like
I need you still
Listen to me
Stop making me see
What I’ve been waiting for
Listen to me
Lying in a bedroom
Lighting up a Benson
Face hair is growing
So I cut with a vengeance
Hey, did I mention
As she makes an entrance
Said I had a tendency
To finish off a sentence
Oh well, she’s a local girl
No make-up
Cos she knows me well
Hair tied up in elastic band
With a kiss on the cheek
For her one-night man
Is it fast food
I’ll regret it after
And I needed money
But I’m too shy to ask her
So she buys me chips and cheese
And I tell her I love her
And she’s all I need
I take it with a cold glass
Of the fruit and the barley
She’s still a sucker for the
Apple and Bacardi
Heading to the party
Sitting in the car seat
B.E.P. on radio
It makes me feel naughty
She knows me well
Bit of a catch
To have a local girl
Hair tied up in elastic band
With a kiss on the cheek
For her one-night man
I don’t wanna go alone
I don’t wanna go alone
Tell her that I love her
Tell her that I need her
Tell her that she’s more
Than a one-night stand
Tell her that she turns my cheeks
The colour of my hair
All I wanna do is be near
Tell her that I want her
Tell her that I need her
Tell her that she’s more than a one-night stand
Tell her that I love her
More than anyone else
If you don’t, then I’ll tell her myself
And we’ve got love in us
So if the drink kill us
We’re gonna dance all night
Till the floor fillers
If we talk outside
I say I hate wasps too
I don’t really dance
So I’ll just watch you
Are you taking me back tonight?
Tell me if that’s alright
I don’t wanna be here
I’m not the sofa type
Tell me if you have a toothbrush
You don’t mind sharing
She said I wanna take off
What you’re wearing
I don’t wanna go alone
I don’t wanna go alone
Tell her that I love her
Tell her that I need her
Tell her that she’s more
Than a one-night stand
Tell her that she turns my cheeks
The colour of my hair
All I wanna do is be near
Tell her that I want her
Tell her that I need her
Tell her that she’s more
Than a one-night stand
Tell her that I love her
More than anyone else
If you don’t, I’ll tell her myself
She’s like the fast food
I’ll regret it after
And I needed money
But I’m too shy to ask her
But she buys me chips and cheese
So I tell her that she’s all I need
Tell her that she’s more
Than a one-night stand
Tell her that she turns my cheeks
The colour of my hair
All I wanna do is be near
Tell her that she’s more
Than a one-night stand
Tell her that I love her
More than anyone else
If you don’t, I’ll tell her myself
Tell her that I love her
Tell her that I need her
That she’s more
Than a one-night stand
Tell her that she turns my cheeks
The colour of my hair
All I wanna do is be near
Tell her that I want her
Tell her that I need her
Tell her that she’s more
Than a one-night stand
Tell her that I love her
More than anyone else
I’m screaming out upon my face
Followed footsteps catch my pace
Broken windows fall in place
Now shattered lovers find their place
We’d flirt
And you’d treat me like dirt
All the pain and the hurt
Just to make matters worse
And I see you all over him
Irresistible sin
When can we be the same again?
What can I do to be making you see?
To come out clean?
You’re better off with me
We’re stuck
Taking time and wasting mine
No luck
Running around and crashing down
In you I trust nevermore
Leaving you in sand and glass
All I ever felt for you
Went up in a cloud of smoke
How I could I be such a fool
To ever think that we were close?
And I see you all over him
Irresistible sin
When can we be the same again?
What can I do to be making you see?
To come out clean?
You’re better off with me
We’re stuck
Taking time and wasting mine
No luck
Running around and crashing down
In you I trust nevermore
They tell me you can only dream when you fell asleep
But now I'm working to achieve, but sleep is the only thing I never see
And I vowed that my breathing with never cease
To the retrieve then I can't let them be
I won't let 'em leave and I had the same feeling since 17
But I wasn't ready then like a lemon screen?
Now I'm in the magazines almost every week,
Cause I'm getting heat like in Tenerife,
Right now it's better than it's never been
Never fade like a plant that's evergreen
So I hope to my heart, but my self doubts are getting me,
Afraid for my cross, getting dump for the day and I'm getting weak,
Cause I'm new, I'm that boy that starts it.
They chase dreams together like a slumber party,
And now I'm on my own, even though I'm smooth sailing
I'm scared to sing, cause my nightmare is fading.
[Chorus:]
When the darkness creeps in,
I feel my nightmares watching me.
And when my dreams are sleeping,
I feel my nightmares watching me.
Oh, oh, oh!
I feel my nightmares watching me.
You better wake up cause I am making moves,
And even when I'm dozing I'm breaking rooms,
I'm only hitting the sack when I'm training,
Too busy trying to keep up with the latest snooze.
Made my bed and that's where I'm heading,
I fly straight with the best man I embed 'em
Married to the game was a quiet wedding, then I had to fight to get her
Now I'm taking control of my inception, cause they try to hit misses with my direction,
See they better marry donna cause when I strike, strike,
Not even Maradonna is gonna cry, I'm awake at night,
The haters know where the family lives,
Tell me what I catch, but you're playing knock door ginger.
Just gonna lose a lot more, than I need it.
They say sleep is the cause of death,
But I hear shit because I am deaf
Gang signs I'm N/A reading.
I'm a CEO, man you suckers are next.
[Chorus:]
When the darkness creeps in,
I feel my nightmares watching me.
And when my dreams are sleeping,
I feel my nightmares watching me.
Oh, oh, oh!
I feel my nightmares watching me.
They watching me! They watch me sleep!
Let me go!
I fell asleep on sofa, walk up in reality,
And daydream about losing my sanity.
I've been rhyming forever got a blind flow.
So I can see an off note with my eyes closed.
But to achieve the dreams you can't doze off cos your dream a sleep
I ain't nodding off but I'm nodding to the beat.
I be shocking in my sheets, when I should have been asleep.
See, all the dreams I'm fonder,
You placed me in the team insomnia
Now, I Mr hard worker,
In my nightmares I Mr can't turn up,
And I missed my chance worst luck,
Trying to hit women I Mr I turn up
Yeah, and I walked from ish, thinking it will put me to rest on my mattress
[Chorus:]
When the darkness creeps in,
I feel my nightmares watching me.
And when my dreams are sleeping,
I feel my nightmares watching me.
Oh, oh, oh!
I feel my nightmares watching me.
Now it seems I’ve been young, dug my hole in the ground
To me there’s only up, there ain’t no point in looking down
However hard I try, I only get weaker
Seems my lies and worries got my mind in a sleeper hold
What you gotta do is never get yourself down
Bastards do that for you, get you deeper in the ground
Keep out of trouble, ain’t no trouble being pure
Seems like all you bastards gave me something to ignore now
Move on, forget it
Now move on, forget it
When I first started this rapping shit I felt pressure from haters
Became invaded with sadists and just developed a hater radar
And made for the stars, kept my grind in the dark
And then appeared with a remedy kicking rhymes with a melody
Hennesey shots and glocks, all these fools on the block
Who said you gotta be a gangster now to raise to the top?
I'm just a normal, casual, usual, everyday type of guy
With my head in the sky
Ed Sheeran, Urban Angel coming ready to die
So see the signs, stand to the side
Open your eyes and take a look and realise
The resurrection's arrived
And as the mist clears, homie I arise
From my tomb in disguise
I'm all alone, Alonestar
Urban Angel rising from the ashes
Surprising all haters, guiding, advising them all to steady move
Now back up!
Move on, forget it
Now move on, forget it
All I want in this cold world is to make music and use it
Not to abuse it and get affected, infected with the who's who of music
Who did it, who is it, who's in it, who …what the fuck does it matter?
Chitter chatter, don't matter, yidder, yidder, yadder
It don't matter to me
All I want is a bit of dignity in me to battle this industry freely
To be me in this seedy, needy world, can you hear me?
Shock, horror, i'm down
Lost, your not around
There's a lump in my chest that
Sends cold through my head and
My mind shuts sound out
I'm on autopilot
And my tongues gone silent
Just switch it off and lay it down
Lay it down, next to me
I don't know when i lost my mind
Maybe when i made you mine
Wooooohhh ohhhhh
I don't know when i lost my mind
Maybe it was every time
That you said, you said, you saaaaaid
That i miss you
That i miss you
These words mean nothing to me
I'm just in on a fence of how it used to be
These three words, are aching
Constrict them, suffocating
My mind is racing
With the picture i'm painting
And my belly's sick to its stomach
When i remember all the times he was with you
When you laid it dowwwn
When you laid down, next to me
I don't know when i lost my mind
Maybe when i made you mine
Wooooohhh ohhhhh
I don't know when i lost my mind
Maybe it was every time
That you said, you said, you saaaaaid
That i miss you, more then i let on
I kissed you, far to long
I'll let go, as soon as you do
See i know, were not through
I don't know when i lost my mind
maybe when i made you mine
Wooooooah ohhhhhh
I dont know when i lost my mind
Maybe it was every time
That you said, you said, you saaaaid
That I miss you
That i miss you
Wooooaahhh
I don't know when i lost my mind
Maybe it was every time
That you said, you said, you saaaaaaid
Well, I've walked this street
Well, I've walked this street before
And everyone's locked up their door
'Cos they heard me coming
And I've been running
From what
I don't know if she's there
Or if she's cares
It's taken you a long time to see
You've got a goldfish memory
This song's for you, not for me
In misery
You said we went too fast
And you said we wouldn't last
Now I've put the past behind me
And I'm running
From what
I don't know if she's there
Or if she cares
It's taken you a long time to see
You've got a goldfish memory
This song's for you, not for me
In misery
It's taken you a long time to see
In misery
And everyone's locked up their door
'Cos they heard me coming
And I've been running
From what
I don't know if she's there
Or if she's cares
It's taken you a long time to see
You've got a goldfish memory
This song's for you, not for me
In misery
You said we went too fast
And you said we wouldn't last
Now I've put the past behind me
And I'm running
From what
I don't know if she's there
Or if she cares
It's taken you a long time to see
You've got a goldfish memory
This song's for you, not for me
In misery
It's taken you a long time to see
yelawolf:
there wasn't much left,
except for the last twenty sack,
and the last twenty of my last cheque,
i took a pill and went to sleep on the last step,
woke up and took it in with a half breath,
then a deep sigh, i struck a matchstick,
i lit my cigarette,
feeling half dead, whisky on my mind,
then came the dead,
sherrif in the yard, here comes the rest,
i sat like a ghost, they all passed by,
my girl cried baby this'll be my last bye,
baby in her arms,
she took a cab home,
she told me i was only good for a sad song.
a crooked smile i gave,
nonchalant about it,
maybe she'll come back,
this time i doubt it.
act like i care, but i really don't,
wanted to change,
but somehow i knew i really won't.
see i'm the type of man, who can't stay out the bottle,
if the sun is out i'd rather be in the shadow,
sadness is like a wound that i can't heal,
maybe i'll love blood, i just let it spiel.
and i never turned to church for a pray in hand,
god's not going to land another saving hand,
if the time came like it has time again,
then i would watch the clock and be late again.
one gun and a harley in the driveway,
one way out, dirt road, pathway.
put another dead butt in the ash tray.
i stand up still drunk, half baked.
cover my eyes from the bright sun blaring,
and through the fence i can see this little boy staring.
paid him no attention,
in fact i barely seen him,
until he walked away,
and he started singing
ed: london bridge is falling down, falling down
and if it don't stop falling, then all of us will drown
then we'll crash, crash, right down again
oh we'll crash, crash, right down again.
yelawolf:
i didn't see it coming,
i didn't see the wall.
and i went from running, to a slow crawl.
i feel like i'm a child, but i'm afraid to cry,
would say i'm okay but i'm afraid to lie.
i speak no evil, but hear no angels.
a family is callin' but all i see is strangers.
take the bible from the hotel drawer,
hell froze over ice cold hell's door,
knock knock,
i'm on the salt road non stop.
the exit i will pass 'cause the sign did rot,
and the gust of a dry summer.
dirty water in the tap,
i think i found my number in the sand,
right next to an empty can.
old number seven, jack is back again.
and the voice goes round and round,
and i would take the bridge,
but i can't forget the sound.
london bridge is falling down, falling down
and if it don't stop falling, then all of us will drown
then we'll crash, crash, right down again
oh we'll crash, crash, right down again.
i'll be coming up when the sun goes down
rolling like a rock 'til i hit the ground
running from the law but i can't be found x 3
and we'll crash crash right down again
oh we'll crash crash right down again
i'll be coming up when the sun goes down
rolling like a rock 'til i hit the ground
running from the law but i can't be found
only my god can track me now x2
If we take this bird in
With its broken leg
We could nurse it
She said
Come inside
For a little lie down with me
If you fall asleep
It wouldn’t be the worst thing
But when I wake up
Your make-up is on my shoulder
And tell me, if I lie down
Would you stay now
And let me hold you?
But if I kissed you
Will your mouth read this truth
Darling, how I miss you
Strawberries taste how lips do
And it’s not complete yet
Mustn’t get our feet wet
Cos that leads to regret
Diving in too soon
And I’ll owe it all to you
My little bird
My little bird
If we take a walk out
In the morning dew
We could lay down
So I’m next to you
Come inside
For a little home-made tea
If you fall asleep
Then at least you’re next to me
And if I wake up
You see, it’s late, love
Go back to sleep
I’m covered by nature
And I’m safe now
Underneath this oak tree
With you beside me
But if I kissed you
Will your mouth read this truth?
Darling, how I miss you
Strawberries taste how lips do
And it’s not complete yet
Mustn’t get our feet wet
Cos that leads to regret
Diving in too soon
And I’ll owe it all to you
My little bird
My little bird
And of all these things
I’m sure of
I’m not quite certain
Of your love
And you made me scream
But then I made you cry
When I left that little bird
With its broken leg to die
But if I kissed you
Will your mouth read this truth
Darling, how I miss you
Strawberries taste like lips do
And it’s not complete yet
Mustn’t get our feet wet
Cos that leads to regret
Diving in too soon
And I’ll owe it all to you
My little bird
My little bird
You give me life
Like lots of oxygen
You treat me like
I was in love again
And I hold you tight
Tight enough to know
That you are mine
I'd never let you go
And it's you I miss
And it's you I miss
So let it out
Let it out, now
I let it out
I let it out now, now
You speak me to me
Behind your Dublin step
And you let me be
As if I wasn't there
It seemed perfect, the concept, free from any regret
Another couple based on teen sex
You idiot, true I was just like you
We couldn't be torn apart
You see we were just like glue
It's you I miss
And it's you I miss
So let it out
Let it out, now
I let it out
I let it out, now, now.
It seemed perfect, the concept, free from any regret
Another couple based on teen sex
You idiot, true I was just like you
We couldn't be torn part
You see we were just like glue
We're like glue
So let it out
Let it out, now
Let it out
Let it out, now, now
It seemed perfect, the concept, free from any regret
Another couple based on teen sex
You idiot, true I was just like you
We couldn't be torn apart
I'm gonna pick up the pieces
And build a Lego house
If things go wrong we can knock it down
My three words have two meanings
There's one thing on my mind
It's all for you
And it's dark in a cold December
But I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend ya
And I'll keep you sheltered from the storm
That's raging onnn now
I'm out of touch
I'm out of love
I'll pick you up
When you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight
I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
I'm gonna paint you by numbers
And colour you in
If things go right
We can frame it
And put you on a wall
And it's so hard to say it
But I've been here before
Now I'll surrender up my heart
And swap it for yours
I'm out of touch
I'm out of love
I'll pick you up
When you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight
I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
Don't hold me down
I think my braces are breaking
And it's more than I can take
And it's dark in the cold December
But I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend ya
And I'll keep you sheltered from the storm
That's raging onnn now
I'm out of touch
I'm out of love
I'll pick you up
When you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight
I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
I'm out of touch
I'm out of love
I'll pick you up
When you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done
[ED:]
mmmmm
I seem to find myself talking to the powers that be
awaking the shade and shadowed under towering trees
admiring the seen, inhaling fumes of flowers that breathe.
jet lagged eyes are begging for an hour to sleep
although my blood shot whites and iris's they never find any
clock stops at times where the sun shine can blind many
although my eyes are heavy they wont be closing soon
cos i know that time waits for nobody, I suppose its true
we make corrosive tunes with acid tabs and vocal booths
to see the flashing lights at photo shoots, we make our motive moves
I say whatever I feel to vent a rhyme
so I can still invent the lines and stay close to the friends of mine
cos we all recognise, real is what my father says
and I'll be sticking to this phrase until I pass away
overworking, no sleep is just another way to die slow
but I'll just keep going strong as ever, never let my eyes close
[DEVLIN:]
5 o'clock with lights off
interview with a vampire
sleep is for the living and not a utensil that I require
I swear I said, that I'll sleep when I'm dead
whos on the beat upon the feature with Ed its D-E-V to the Z
over tired, pale faced like Michael Myers
bags underneath my eyes can show the baggage I've acquired
and over the time within this maze I'll think you'll find you'll never find that peace of mind you seek to find until your dying
cuz I got too much to stay awake for, to sleep or even take 4, seconds out the game
its time to wage war
scissors, grab a sword, and sharpen up your hunting knives
2 psychopathic lyricists are driving on the hunt tonight
I'm haling from the Essex and the East London boarder line
villans never sleep they mastermind in all sorts of crimes,
be wide awake just like your snorting lines
or get left mortified like you just seen the ghost of Jesus walking by
[CHORUS:]
I never sleep
when trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free, it could be, ahhh
the times I'm living in I never sleep, when trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free, it could be..
the times I'm living in lately.
[ED:]
I brush my teeth every night but still I wake up with a bad mouth
and the background is my past and my presence will bring it back out
deliver the raps how I flow
I live with the raps now and those that hate me call me wrong
but they wont slither in too easy, believe me I'm snake minded
be within this great time, be on minimum wage, life is a prison escape that I'm in
its all to do with timing not the label that you sign with
then my mates are doing fine but then they never put the time in
I try to hide my cold side like when I flip my pillows
some of the the songs I write are real because the chart is filled with si-li-cone
I'm still broke without the money for a mac pro, living out of three bags no talk about my cash flow
opposite of sober cos I never did my homework
which has got me on the sofa, no degree but growing older
I played a fool to catch the wise I will never tell a lie
I wake dead, take deep breaths, try to never die!
never die.
[DEVLIN:]
2 guys with the same view, keep it tight like scrooge,
making metaphors flow and move, like typhoons and tunes
and if we got our eyes on you, we'll catch you while you snooze,
times elapsing while your catching Z's, the masses like to move
we scan the situation, analyse information, and then decide what probably is most practical to do,
driven young gentlemen
I've hardly changed my bed sheets at all over the last 12 months cos I haven't slept in them, true!
I'm coming home, the lights are on, your rights are wrong so I'm correcting 'em
we got the fans all like 'oh wow its its Devs and Ed' what less did you bloody expect from 'em
in the end sleep deprivation might just be our detriment
fighting through writers block from 9 o'clock to 5 o'clock and no way will I ever waste a second of the time I got,
I keep my pupils engaged ,
like a classroom in holy matrimony but I'm only trying to stay awake.
[CHORUS:]
I never sleep
when trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free, it could be, ahhh
the times I'm living in I never sleep, when trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free, it could be.. [x4]
I went out late last night,
and cold air met me
Lost a grip on my shoes
walked home in bare feet
And I'll stay awake
Till the morning greets me
and I'll stay away, out
Tonight, this day won't end
The fire keep burning now
I'm never gonna leave here, tonight
I'm here again, the fire keeps burning now
I'm never gonna leave here
Let the dark cover me
And hold me tight,
Hear the words in my sleep
Close your eyes for a second life within
And I'll stay awake till the morning greets me
And I'll stay away out, tonight
This day won't end, the fire keeps burning out
I'm never gonna leave here, tonight I'm here again
The fire keeps burning out,
I'm never gonna leave here
Outside, in the winter, in the cold, I have not been asked where to go, and so, oh
I am here alone, waiting for tonight, waiting for tonight
And day, to end, the fire is burning now
I ain't ever gonna leave here now, and I'm here again
Oh, oh I ain't ever gonna leave here
Tonight, I'm out to meet ya
Tonight, I will feel no cold,
Tonight, I'll ignore that my feet hurt
Settle down with me
Cover me up
Cuddle me in
Lie down with me
And hold me in your arms
And your heart's against my chest, your lips pressed in my neck
I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet
And with a feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now
Kiss me like you wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love
Falling in love
We're falling in love
Settle down with me
And I'll be your safety
You'll be my lady
I was made to keep your body warm
But I'm cold as the wind blows so hold me in your arms
Oh no
My heart's against your chest, your lips pressed in my neck
I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet
And with this feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now
Kiss me like you wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love
Falling in love
We're falling in love
Yeah, I've been feeling everything from hate to love from love to lust
From lust to truth I guess that's how I know you
So I hold you close to help you give it up
So kiss me like you wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love
Falling in love
We're falling in love
Kiss me like you wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love
Falling in love
I’m getting very edgy
Cos you’re trying to take this from me
And it’s something that I wanted so bad
Cos you’re the definition
Of someone who has to ruin
The best thing that I ever had
Cos you’re a jealous girl
And all I can say is
It’s your fault but partially mine
For losing hope
For not treating you right
But that will disappear in time
All I gotta do is pass you by
Never say what’s wrong
Whenever I say why?
Standing in the corner
Shadowed by the light
To you I seem much smaller
But I know it might be you
How much better could I do
To be myself, not someone else?
I’m losing sleep
I live only for the week
I’ve grown to ignore you
Cos when I seem to bore you
You pretend that you’re not interested
Your eyes start to twinkle
Your smile starts to widen
And I just seem to try and forget
But you pay me no attention
Even though I do
But I don’t care as long as you’re mine
It’s happening every time
All I gotta do is pass you by
Never say what’s wrong
Whenever I say why?
Standing in the corner
Shadowed by the light
To you I seem much smaller
But I know it might be you
How much better could I do
To be myself, not someone else?
I’m losing sleep
I live only for the week
And I’m falling harder now it seems
My slip-ups haunt me in my dreams
And I can’t sleep although I think I can
It’s insomnia I think I have
But who cares when I’m not your man?
Standing in the corner
Shadowed by the light
To you I seem much smaller
But I know it might be you
How much better could I do
To be myself, not someone else?
I’m losing sleep
I write this song in memory of
The wayward smile
The boy we won’t forget
The soul you took away from us
The river flows
The tears that we wept
Missing you
Is all that needs to be said
More than blue
The words inside my head
And I know that you’re gone
The cheeky smile
Of jokes and laughs
The memories of times
We crossed the line
The stepping stones
Across my mind
Washed away
We all now feel so blind
Missing you
Is all that needs to be said
More than blue
The words inside my head
And I know that you’re gone
It’s been a while since we were here
Been too long my fear is
Holding back the memories of your eyes
Scattered notes and broken glass you had left me
All that’s left is shattered hearts
It’s plain enough for us to see that
You’ve got me
You’ve got me
We’re just friends tangled up in loose ends
I feel it coming around again
Let me know where you let your heart go
And I will just pretend
That I have never felt this way
Since you I have never felt this way
Since you
I feel strange
Playing games
It’s no fuss
I’m not in love
Twisted tunes, a melody of spite
If you give me the words then I might
Let go unknown feelings
Telling me that I cannot fight
When you speak that shite
Let go unknown feelings
Telling me that
You’ve got me
You’ve got me
We’re just friends tangled up in loose ends
I feel it coming around again
Let me know where you let your heart go
And I will just pretend
That I have never felt this way
Since you I have never felt this way
Since you
I feel strange
Playing games
It’s no fuss
I’m not in love
I lost it in your kiss, your lips,
Sweetness, in your smile
Your words make me whole
But your scars demand a healer’s touch
It’s true
I'm standing on a mountain
Waiting for you to come
You were sitting counting
The days that I had gone
The note I wrote
I wrapped up in a cigarette
Burned away the memories
I tried to forget
But not yet
Wishing my life away
But these three words
I have to say to you
My baby blue
You know it's true
I love you
I love you
How can I tell you?
I don't know what to say
This chance that I won't miss
But I miss you anyway
I feel your pain
It's turning me insane
Thrown away
I had to take the last train home
But then you came
Wishing my life away
But these three words
I have to say to you
My baby blue
You know it's true
I love you
Wishing my life away
These three words
I have to say to you
My baby blue
You know it's true
You know it's true
I love you
I love you
Could I wake up next to you
When we're hitting double figures
Look into your eyes
Like I'm looking into double mirrors
Could you make it any clearer
Everything's such a blur
It's not my turn
It's hers to get hurt
On a late night
Coming home from way too many train rides
Lace not as red as my face
I'm home at the same time
Highbury estate's fine
Smoking like a dragon, but don't chase lines
I haven't slept for the past week
Two hours ain't enough for me
I feel inspired, at quarter to three am
I haven't changed since our last meet
I'm still getting all my meals for free
Think I'm being shunned by my feet again
It's not a homeless life for me
It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be
And now I'm sitting on a night bus
Flicking through my Ipod
Feeling kinda tired
So I try to close my eyes up
Driver, turn the lights off
Lights on, on stage, mics on
Song plays, nice one
Gotta keep my hype strong
Truth be, never went to Uni
People see right through me
but I'm not a fool, see
I'm never gonna do one
Gonna live past 22, done
Everything I need to
Except get a 2:1
I haven't slept for the past week
Two hours ain't enough for me
I feel inspired, at quarter to three am
I haven't changed since our last meet
I'm still getting all my food for free
Think I'm being shunned by my feet again
It's not a homeless life for me
It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be
When I feel cold
You keep me warm
And I'm not looking for some loose change
Just wanna find a true mate
Who wants to be my duvet
It's not a homeless life for me
Will you recognise me, in the flashing lights
I try to keep my heart beat, but I can't get it right
Will you recognise me, when I'm laying on my back
Something's gone inside me, and it 'aint coming back, now
Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wait with good intention, now
But the day, it always lasts too long, mm, then I'm gone
Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wait with good intention, now
But the day, it always lasts too long, woah
Then I'm gone (x7) woo woo woo wooo
Will you recognise me, when I'm stealing from the poor
You're not gonna' like me, no I'm nothing like before, wow
And will you recognise me, when I lose another friend
Will you learn to leave me, or give me one more try again
Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wait with good intention, now
But the day, it always lasts too long, woah, then I'm gone
Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wait with good intention, now
But the day, it always lasts too long, now
Then I'm gone (x7) now woo woo woo wooo
Baby be mine, now, mm, mm, mmm
Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wait with good intention, now
But the day, it always lasts too long, mm, then I'm gone
Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wait with good intention, now
But the day, it always lasts too long, wow
Then I'm gone (x19)

Your body is my ballpoint pen
And your mind is my new best friend,
Your eyes are the mirror to take me to the edge again,
Now I see it in your movements tonight,
If we should ever do this right,

'Cause your strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I never felt this way,
I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down,
You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I never felt this way,
Hey, can you hear me
I just wanted to let you know hmm
I hope you can hear what I write to you
how could I say goodbye to you
when I'm a life that came out of the inside of a life
that was inside of
I gotta respect the way you provided food, for the
whole fam you
came over a moon rush supporting a mar jays old man,
cold double 8, 8 kids bare wheels plus racists full of
hatred in your own plant , 3 jobs in a day , rest in
life in you working but you were never stressed free
just locked in a cage slaving , they said they were
gold in the pavements but you came and saw the road to
amazement , broke your heart but still you were prone
to last and your sorrow was over fast , I hope your
listening right , I still think of you every Sunday no
one can top your chicken and rice, even through the
darkness times you held us all up cause your vision was
bright I knew your strength was your wisdom inside ,
you never let anyone see your heartache you just got
on with it , anyone tells me that they knew you said
you were beautiful and your words you would stand
strong with it. Cause they were like warmth on a winter
night but I was just too young to go on with it and
there something's I could try to do but it's an
impossible task for me to even try and say goodbye to
you , I couldn't do that , I owe my life to you .
And of the pieces of my soul because I need a sign I
hope this pain will heal in time you know I never want
to be alone ohh
I can see the stars as a cold wind greets the air and
will you think of me up there, can I say goodbye to
you? and paint the stains of the teardrops down my face
or feel the chill of your warm embrace. Can I say
goodbye to you ohh
I think you phoney I was younger with the knowledge of
things that I know now I would be by your side when you
needed me instead of asking you 'Nan can I go out'
standing in a road with the gangs that I know now ,
everyone's missing you loads , Jessica's grown up ,
warren Lauren and Alex are fine and imp living with
hope , it's been a while since I've seen c and the
mouths I miss seeing and being a family and us agreeing
with smiles how it used to be as a child but as time
goes by the bridge seems longer family problems have
never been funny , in my heart the only one that dissed
me was Sonia she took all our inheritance money , left
the rest of us to pick up the pieces . i never forgive
the way she betrayed us , there ent a big enough reason
before I sell out my fam ill be giving up breathing ,
but I guess that everyone's different or should I say
no one's perfect she had happiness in front of her but
chose to ride the wave that no ones surfing . Since you
gone the foundations crumbled so building it back up is
my next step I got all the bricks and the cement but
it's hard when it's done I don't know what to expect,
so give me the strength that I need to perform this
task make it right I must do and I ask cause I trust
you it goes way beyond a song when I say I love you.
And of the pieces of my soul because I need a sign I
hope this pain will heal in time you know I never wanna
be aloneeeeee
I can see the stars as a cold the wind greets the air
and will you think of me up there can I say goodbye to
you? and paint the stains of the teardrops down my face
or feel the chill of your warm embrace. Can I say
goodbye to you ohh
It's just for now so I should hush I'll never get
enough I'll see you when I see you but I miss you ohh
how I miss you , It's just for now so I should hush
I'll never get enough I'll see you when I see you but I
miss you ohh how I miss you.
there ent enough words to describe how sorry I am for
the pain that I caused sorry for when I stuck up my
own blood we were young he said I was rape and he broad
and for the day police came to the door , I'm sorry for
being such a bad youth stealing from your purse and
making you mourn , I never been able to say this
before cause I've was so inconsiderate you love me
unconditionally and I took advantage of it like a idiot
not seeing the pure soul that I was living with I
really hope that you can forgive me , you going away
was a punishment but I won't let go I'm holding you
with me but I still fight the emotions within me
You see the stars as the cold wind greets the air and
will you think of me up there can I say goodbye to you
and paint the stains of the teardrops down your face
feel the chill of your warm embrace can I say goodbye
to you
I can see the stars as a cold wind greets the air and
will you think of me up there can I say goodbye to you
and paint the stains of the teardrops down my face or
feel the chill of your warm embrace. Can I say goodbye
Smoke alarm went off at night
I woke up, wiped the sleep out of my eyes
She left a note "I'll be back in 5"
Well, I'm still waiting for that moment to arrive, hey
I was told to put my job in front of you
But it won't hold me like you do
But I do it for the love
Waiting on the gold rush
Keep it on the edge
Smoking on a roll up
When I see my friends
All they say is hold up
Ed, remember the time
When we were in school
Listening to grown ups
Didn't learn a thing
But then again you know what
You know how to sing
But you don't know anything
Other than that
So maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way
Maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way
Maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way
And maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way
You want to be loved
I never told her that I liked
The way she dances slightly out of time
And pretends she knows the words
To a song she's never heard
But I tell her all the time, hey
I was told to put my job in front of you
But it won't hold me like you do
But I do it for the love
Waiting on the gold rush
Keep it on the edge
Smoking on a roll up
When I see my friends
All they say is hold up
Ed, remember the time
When we were in school
Listening to grown ups
Didn't learn a thing
But then again you know what
You know how to sing
But you don't know anything
Other than that
So maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way
Maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way
Maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way
And maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way
You want to be loved
But I do it for the love
Waiting on the gold rush
Keep it on the edge
Smoking on a roll up
When I see my friends
All they say is hold up
Ed, remember the time
When we were in school
Listening to grown ups
Didn't learn a thing
But then again you know what
You know how to sing
But you don't know anything
Other than that
So maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way
Maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way
Maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way
And maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way
Give me love like her,
'Cause lately I've been waking up alone.
Paint spotted tear drops on my shirt,
Told you I'd let them go.
And I'll fight my corner,
Maybe tonight I'll call ya,
After my blood turns into alcohol,
No I just wanna hold ya,
Give a little time to me, we'll burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek, to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
my my, my my oh give me love,
my my, my my oh give me love,
my my, my my oh give me love,
my my, my my oh give me love,
my my, my my give me love.
Give me love like never before,
'Cause lately I've been craving more.
And it's been a while but i still feel the same,
Maybe I should let you go
You know I'll fight my corner,
And that tonight I'll call ya,
After my blood, is drowning in alcohol,
No I just wanna hold ya,
Give a little time to me, we'll burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek, to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
my my, my my, oh give me love
Give a little time to me, we'll burn this out
We'll play hide and seek, to turn this around
All I want is the taste that your lips allow
my my, my my, oh give me love
my my, my my oh give me love,
my my, my my oh give me love,
my my, my my oh give me love,
my my, my my give me love.
my my, my my, oh, give me love,lover....(x12)
(Long Break)
Of all the money that e'er I had
I've spent it in good company
And all the harm that e'er I've done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lord
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
A man may drink and not be drunk
A man may fight and not be slain
A man may court a pretty girl
And perhaps be welcomed back again
But since it has so ordered been
By a time to rise and a time to fall
Come fill to me the parting glass
Goodnight and joy be with you all
I fell in love next to you
Burning fires in this room
It just fits
Light and smooth
Like my feet in my shoes
Little one, lie with me
Sew you heart to my sleeve
We'll stay quiet
Underneath shooting stars
If it helps you sleep
And hold me tight
Don't let me breathe
Feeling like
You won't believe
There's a firefly
Loose tonight
Better catch it
Before it burns this place down
And I lie
If I don't feel so right
But the world looks better
Through your eyes
Teach my skin
Those new tricks
Warm me up
With your lips
Heart to heart
Melt me down
It's too cold
In this town
Close your eyes
Lean on me
Face to mouth
Lips to cheek
Feeling numb
In my feet
You're the one
To help me
Get to sleep
And hold me tight
Don't let me breathe
Feeling like
You won't believe
There's a firefly
Loose tonight
Better catch it
Before it burns this place down
And I lie
If I don't feel so right
But the world looks better
Through your eyes
It's only been
One night of love
And maybe
That is not enough
Hold me tight
Don't let me breathe
Feeling like
You won't believe
It's only been
One night of love
And maybe
That's not enough
Hold me tight
Don't let me breathe
Feeling like
You won't believe
There's a firefly loose tonight
Better catch it
Before it burns this place down
And I lie
If I don't feel so right
But the world looks better
The rain wont stop falling
It's harder than before
This car keeps on stalling
Pedal to the floor
What I need to know
Is if you love me and I
Really need to know
Is if you want me when you call
If you want me when you call
We were young and we were foolish
School books in our arms
Dodging homework, dodging classes
To set off fire alarms
And what I need to know
Is if you love me and I
Really need to know
If you need me when you call
If you want me when you call
We are waving our lives away
We are waving our lives away
We are waving our lives away
We are waving our lives away
We are waving (and what I need to know)
We are waving (is if you love me and I)
We are waving (really need to know)
We are waving (if you need me when you call)
We are waving (what I need to know)
We are waving (is if you love me an I)
We are waving (really need to know)
We are waving (if you need me when you call)
What I need to know
Is if you love me and I
Really need to know
If you need me when you call
Hmm let me go,
To see my family.
Please Father let me go,
As my mother sleeps.
I don't know about days gone,
But round here nobody lives twice.
When your gone, your gone, without no bye,
Because only a judge can give you life.
This is my advice,
Trust me, I nearly lost my life.
3 weeks after I got this rhyme,
It seems like I had too much wine.
Which that I I didn't get one,
Anyway, I was going to the ? booked for a set,
Even though I didn't have a set one.
Skream hit the decks, I was like check one.
Put on a show, but it weren't my best one.
Left it, dropped off Blacks at his destination,
Then I was off to the next one,
20 minutes later I was on the M1,
Tired.
But I kept on going,
Fell asleep without even knowing.
No motion in my face,
No movement in my legs, but the car still kept going.
Woke up,
Lorry,
Flash,
Panic,
Break,
Skid,
Crash,
Skidded,
More,
Bang,
Smash,
Out,
Cold,
Ribs,
Cracked,
Ouch.
I was in so much pain,
Crawled out of a Megan that now looked like a Mini,
When I was still on the first lane.
Baffled, didn't even know my name.
Fainted, too much shock in my brain.
Surrounded by paramedics and feds,
Trying to get up but fainted again.
I just want you to take a second, hear me out.
Don't think I'm happy cuz I smile when you see me out.
I've had serious madnesses where I've nearly disappeared,
Oh I'm begging Lord to save me and let me go,
To see my family,
And keep it inside,
Dry eyes, while my brother weeps.
Save my soul,
Please Father let me go.
Keep me safe, as my mother sleeps.
Eyes closed, they just wouldn't open,
I can hear voices and my phone ringing.
Fighting for life, can't tell if I'm winning,
One of the worst situations I've been in.
I can hear all of the angels singing.
But when it stopped humming,
My brain turned on, stared running.
Still in pain, but it started numbing,
the stone cold comeback I made was stunning.
I still tried to do a few shows cuz I didn't wanna tell them that I weren't coming.
But I was left with a permanent problem,
Nobody knows about the pain that I'm in (inside).
Ever so cunning,
6 weeks later, jogging and running.
I used the first air kit like a drum set,
Picked up the tools and I gave it a drumming.
Trust me, when it comes to mistakes,
You can't afford to let one in.
Never done dream for a while,
The black plan was blocked,
So I learnt and done a bit of plumbing.
They say tomorrow never dies,
But he forgot to tell you 'you can'.
You can have a sicker clan than Wu-Tang,
But when your time's up, that's it, it's you fam.
You can try beg for another,
Sometimes I'll be on my way to a show,
Thinking 'I just wanna see my brother',
Then do a U-turn, I'm gone, Runner.
I just want you to take a second, hear me out.
Don't think I'm happy cuz I smile when you see me out.
I've had serious madnesses where I've nearly disappeared.
Oh I'm begging Lord to save me and let me go,
To see my family.
And keep it inside,
Dry eyes, while my brother weeps.
You and I
Two of a mind
This love’s
One of a kind
You and I
We’re drifting
Over the edge
And I will fall for you
And I will fall for you
If I fall for you
Would you fall too?
You and I
Learning to speak
With kisses on cheek
We’re lifted
Over the edge
And I will fall for you
And I will fall for you
If I fall for you
I wanna be drunk when I wake up,
On the right side of the wrong bed,
And every excuse I made up,
Tell you the truth I hate,
What didn't kill me, it never made me stronger at all,
Love will scar your makeup lip sticks to me,
So now I'll maybe lean back there
I'm sat here, wishing I was sober,
I know i'll never hold you like I used to
But our house gets cold when you cut the heating,
Without you to hold i'll be freezing,
Can't rely on my heart to beat it
Cause you take part of it every evening,
Take words out of my mouth just from breathing,
Replace with phrases like 'when you leaving me?'
Should I, Should I,
Maybe I'll get drunk, again
I'll be drunk, again, I'll be drunk, again
To feel a little love.
I wanna hold your heart in both hands,
Now I'll watch you fizzle at the bottom of a coke can,
And i've got no plans for the weekend,
So should we speak then? Keep it between friends?
Though I know you'll never love me, like you used to
There maybe other people like us,
Will see the flicker of the clipper when they light our,
Flames just create us, burns dont heal like before
You dont hold me anymore
On cold days Coldplay's out like the band's name
I know i cant heal things with a handshake
You know i can change, as I began saying
You cut me wide open like a landscape
Open bottles of beer but never champagne
To applaud you with the sound that my hands make
Should I? Should I?
Maybe I'll get drunk, again
I'll be drunk, again
I'll be drunk, again
To feel a little love
All by myself
I'm here again
All by myself
You know I'll never change
All by myself
All by myself
I'm just drunk, again x4
I'll be drunk, again
I'll be drunk, again
She's like cold coffee in the morning
I'm drunk off last nights whisky and coke
She'll make me shiver without warning
And make me laugh as if I'm in on the joke
And you can stay with me forever
Or you could stay with me for now
Tell me if I'm wrong
Tell me if I'm right
Tell me if you need a loving hand
To help you fall asleep tonight
Tell me if I know
Tell me if I do
Tell me how to fall in love the way you want me to
I'll wake with coffee in the morning
But she prefers two lumps of sugar and tea
Outside the day is up and calling
But I don't have to be so, please go back to sleep
Stay with me forever
Or you could stay with me for now
Tell me if I'm wrong
Tell me if I'm right
Tell me if you need a loving hand
To help you fall asleep tonight
Tell me if I know
Tell me if I do
Tell me how to fall in love the way you want me to
'Cause I love the way you wake me up
For goodness sake will my love not be enough?
Tell me if I'm wrong
Tell me if I'm right
Tell me if you need a loving hand
To help you fall asleep tonight
Tell me if I know
Tell me if I do
Tell me how to fall in love the way you want me to
Tell me if I'm wrong
Tell me if I'm right
Tell me if you need a loving hand
Mr Ruskin come and paint my picture
We’re losing sleep 'cos we steal the week
Now who’s your best friend?
Can you introduce me?
See I can’t seem to even let you breathe
When I dance with Billy Ruskin in my mind’s eye
Please let me forget that I’m standing on my own
And I am my own best friend and I need me to see
That I am more than what is hiding in me
Come and show me if you can
See I know you’re me
But I can’t seem to understand
If you know me, place my hand on mine
And we will resurrect the time
That we lost when you left my mind
It’s psycho-paranoia disappearing in time
Come and show me what makes you tick
I need you to get out of my mind quick
When I dance with Billy Ruskin in my mind’s eye
Please let me forget that I’m standing on my own
And I am my own best friend and I need me to see
Just lay it all down on me
It’s getting harder for me to breathe
Just want to know if it will be
Just want to know if it is me
And you know I’ve learned from my mistakes
And how much have I got to lose?
You find my heart is hard to break
Can’t keep playing the fool
Breathe in, exhale
To turn to move beyond the pale
Flag up, set sail
To find what’s there beyond the pale
I feel like I’ve gone to the end of the world
What do I have to do?
You know I’ve learned from my mistakes
How much have I got to lose?
You find my heart hard to break
Can’t keep playing the fool
Breathe in, exhale
To turn to move beyond the pale
Flag up, set sail
To find what’s there beyond the pale
What can I do
Just to let you know
That you’re in my mind?
To try and justify
The way you liberate me
Happy days
That left us on the floor
And you breathe me
Till you’re not feeling sure
Everything will brighten up
If we go to Brighton
I’ll take you along the Pier
Everything will lighten up
If you feel too frightened
I’ll make it disappear, dear
Darling, don’t be nervous
I’ll understand
If you’ll let me go
I did this on purpose
Now, when I’m missing you
I’ll stop eating food
And I’ll squeeze into a dress
So I can be like you
And then I’ll see your bitterness
And why you’re leaving too
Maybe, I’ll put you to a test
And say that I love you
I think that I love you
Sunny days
That left my skin dark red
You squeeze me
Till these thoughts leave my head
If it gets too complicated
I’ll give up and be frustrated
Can you see what’s wrong?
If you feel like you’ve been hated
This love’s too overrated
See what’s going on, on
Darling, don’t be nervous
I’ll understand
If you’ll let me go
I did this on purpose
Now, when I’m missing you
I’ll stop eating food
And I’ll squeeze into a dress
So I can be like you
And then I’ll see your bitterness
And why you’re leaving too
Maybe, I’ll put you to a test
And say that I love you
I think that I love you
Take me back to live at home
Take me back to Albert Road
Now I’m missing you
I’ve stopped eating food
And I’ve squeezed into your dress
So I can feel like you
But then I saw your bitterness
And why you left me too
I thought I’d put you to a test
And say that I love you
I think that I love you
And I stopped eating food
And I squeezed into your dress
So I could feel like you
But then I saw your bitterness
And why you left me too
Maybe I’ll put you to a test
And say that I love you
Another day another life
Passes by just like mine
It's not complicated
Another mind
Another soul
Another body to grow old
It's not complicated
Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you?
Float down
Like autumn leaves
Hush now
Close your eyes before the sleep
And you're miles away
And yesterday you were here with me
Another tear
Another cry
Another place for us to die
Its not complicated
Another life that's gone to waste
Another light lost from your face
It's complicated
Is it that it's over or do birds still sing for you?
Float down
Like autumn leaves
Hush now
Close your eyes before the sleep
And you're miles away
And yesterday you were here with me
Ooh how I miss you
My symphony, play the song that carried you out
Ooh how I miss you
I miss you and I wish you'd stay
Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you?
Float down
Like autumn leaves
Hush now
Close your eyes before the sleep
And you're miles away
And yesterday you were here with me
Mhhh, mhh, mhhh, mhhh
Touch down
Like a seven four seven
I think I took too much
I'm addicted to your touch
But I'm crying
In shame again
And now I'm high as a kite
And I know I might be gone
When you get home
Oh well, we've come this far
You're my Venus
And I'm your Mars
And we've passed the moon
and stars
And I'm gone
But now I'm high as a kite
And I know I'm might be gone
When you get home
I'm high as a kite
And I know I'm almost gone
When you get home
