Ed Sheeran Tribute EP

 The A Team

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 eighteen but lately her face seems slowly sinking, wasting

Crumbling like pastries and they scream the worst things in life come free to us

Because we're just under the upper hand and go mad for a couple 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

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 eighteen but lately her face seems slowly sinking, wasting

Crumbling like pastries and they scream the worst things in life come free to us

Because we're just under the upper hand and go mad for a couple 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

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 eighteen but lately her face seems slowly sinking, wasting

Crumbling like pastries and they scream the worst things in life come free to us

Because we're just under the upper hand and go mad for a couple 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

Perfect

I found a love for me  just dive right in and follow my lead

Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

Because we were just kids when we fell in love not knowing what it was

I will not give you up this time but just kiss me slow

Your heart is all I own and in your eyes you're holding mine

I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass listening to our favourite song

When you said you looked a mess I whispered underneath my breath

But you heard it, you look perfect tonight

Well, I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know

She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home

I found a love to carry more than just my secrets to carry love, to carry children of our own

We are still kids but we're so in love fighting against all odds

I know we'll be alright this time just hold my hand

Be my girl, I'll be your man I see my future in your eyes

I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass listening to our favourite song

When I saw you in that dress looking so beautiful

I don't deserve this you look perfect tonight

Galway Girl

I met her on Grafton street right outside of the bar

She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar

She asked me what does it mean the Gaelic ink on your arm?

Said it was one of my friend's songs do you want to drink on?

She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun

She got Arthur on the table, with Johnny riding as shotgun

Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar

Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance, you know

She played the fiddle in an Irish band but she fell in love with an English man

Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand said I just want to dance

With my pretty little Galway Girl you're my pretty little Galway Girl

You know she beat me at darts and then she beat me at pool

And then she kissed me like there was nobody else in the room

As last orders were called, was when she stood on the stool

After dancing to Cèilidh, singing to trad tunes I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet

Acapella in the bar using her feet for a beat I could have that voice playing on repeat for a week

And in this packed out room, swear she was singing to me, you know

She played the fiddle in an Irish band but she fell in love with an English man

Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand said I just want to dance

With my pretty little Galway Girl you're my pretty little Galway Girl

Now we've outstayed our welcome and it's closing time

I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine

Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine as we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night

I walked her home then she took me inside finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine

I swear I'm going to put you in a song that I write about a Galway girl and a perfect night

She played the fiddle in an Irish band but she fell in love with an English man

Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand said I just want to dance

With my pretty little Galway Girl you're my pretty little Galway Girl

I See Fire

Misty eye of the mountain below keep careful watch of my brothers' souls

And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke keep watching over Durin's sons

If this is to end in fire then we should all burn together watch the flames climb high into the night

Calling out father stand by and we will watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side

And if we should die tonight then we should all die together raise a glass of wine for the last time

Calling out father prepare as we will watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side

Desolation comes upon the sky now I see fire inside the mountain I see fire burning the trees

And I see fire hollowing souls I see fire blood in the breeze and I hope that you remember me

Should my people fall then surely I'll do the same

Confined in mountain halls we got too close to the flame

Calling out father hold fast and we will watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side

Desolation comes upon the sky now I see fire inside the mountain I see fire burning the trees

I see fire hollowing souls I see fire blood in the breeze and I hope that you remember me

And if the night is burning I will cover my eyes

For if the dark returns then my brothers will die

And as the sky is falling down it crashed into this lonely town

And with that shadow upon the ground I hear my people screaming out

Now I see fire inside the mountains I see fire burning the trees

I see fire hollowing souls I see fire blood in the breeze

I see fire you know I saw a city burning out and I see fire feel the heat upon my skin

And I see fire and I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side

How Would You Feel (Paean)

You are the one girl and you know that it's true

I'm feeling younger every time that I'm alone with you

We were sitting in a parked car stealing kisses in the front yard

We got questions we should not ask but how would you feel, if I told you I loved you?

It's just something that I want to do I'll be taking my time, spending my life

Falling deeper in love with you so tell me that you love me too

In the summer, as the lilacs bloom love flows deeper than the river

Every moment that I spend with you we were sat upon our best friend's roof

I had both of my arms round you watching the sunrise replace the moon

How would you feel, if I told you I loved you it's just something that I want to do

I'll be taking my time, spending my life falling deeper in love with you

So tell me that you love me too

We were sitting in a parked car stealing kisses in the front yard

We got questions we should not ask but how would you feel, if I told you I loved you?

It's just something that I want to do I'll be taking my time, spending my life

Falling deeper in love with you so tell me that you love me too

You Need Me, I Don't Need You

Now I'm in town, break it down, thinking of making a new sound

Playing a different show every night in front of a new crowd

That's you now, ciao, seems that life is great now

See me lose focus, as I sing to you loud and I can't, no, I won't hush

I'll say the words that make you blush I am gonna sing this now

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 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 the chance to be free Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me

Because 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

I sing and write my own tune and I write my own verse

Hell, don't need another word-smith to make my tune sell

Call yourself a singer-writer you're just bluffing

Your name's on the credits and you didn't write nothing

I sing fast, I know that all my shit's 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

And I won't be a product of my genre my mind will always be stronger than my songs are

Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya always read the stories that you hear on 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

Because 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

Because with the lyrics I'll be aiming it right I won't stop 'til my name's in lights

At stadium heights with Damien Rice on red carpets, now I'm on Arabian Nights

Because I'm young I know my brother's gonna give me advice

Long nighter, short height and I gone hyper never be anything but a singer-songwriter

The game's 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 a couch

So you believe the lyrics when I'm singing them out

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

Because 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 rapper's shoes using new laces

I'm selling CDs from my rucksack aiming for the papers

Selling CDs from my rucksack aiming for the majors

Nationwide tour with Just Jack, still had to get the bus back

Clean cut kid without a razor for the mustache

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 Rufio

Melody music maker reading all the papers

They say I'm up and coming like I'm fucking in an elevator

Because 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
