The City (Live at Sticky Studios; Loose Change EP) - Ed Sheeran (艾德·希兰)
The city never sleeps
I hear the people walk by when it's late
Sirens beat through my window sill
I can't close my eyes
Don't control what I'm into
This town is alive
With lights that blind keep me awake
With my hood up and lace untied
The street fills my mind
Don't control what I'm into
London calls me a stranger
A traveller ohoohohh
This is now my home my home
Oh woah
Burning on the back street
Oh woah
Stuck here sitting in the back seat
Oh woah
And I'm blazing on the street
What I do isn't upto you
And if the city never sleeps then that makes two
The pavement is my friend
It'll take me where I need to go
If I find it trips me up
And puts me down
This is not what I'm used to
The shop across the road
It fills my needs and keeps me company
When I need it
Voices beat through my walls
I don't think I'm gonna make it
Past to-mor-roow
London calls me a stranger
A traveller ohoohohh
This is now my home my home
Oh woah
Burning on the back street
Oh woah
Stuck here sitting in the back seat
Oh woah
And I'm blazing on the street
What I do isn't upto you
And if the city never sleeps then that makes two
And my lungs hurt
And my ears bled
With the sounds 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
Im from a city where the rain won't cease
Pollution in the air matches that on the street
The black smoke gets your head in a muddle like
Walking into elephants syringes in the puddle like
I was a country boy when I moved out
Grew up to 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 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 away from the negitave s**t that will follow me
London calls me a stranger
This is now my home home
Oh woah
Burning on the back street
Oh woah
Stuck here sitting in the back seat
Oh woah
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
Oh woah
Burning on the back street
Oh woah
Stuck here sitting in the back seat
Oh woah
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
