《The City》歌词

[00:00:00] The City - Ed Sheeran

[00:00:00] 作词：Jake Gosling&Ed Sheeran

[00:00:03] This city never sleeps

[00:00:07] I hear the people walk by when it's late

[00:00:11] Sirens bleed through my windowsill

[00:00:14] I can't close my eyes

[00:00:16] Can't control what I'm into

[00:00:22] This tower is alive

[00:00:26] The lights that blind keep me awake

[00:00:30] With my hood up and lace untied

[00:00:33] Sleep fills my mind

[00:00:34] Can't control what I'm into

[00:00:40] London calls me a stranger

[00:00:44] A traveler

[00:00:47] Oh this is now my home my home

[00:00:58] Oh I'm burning on the back street

[00:01:02] Oh stuck here sitting in the backseat

[00:01:07] Oh I'm blazing on the street

[00:01:11] What I do isn't up to you

[00:01:13] And if the city never sleeps

[00:01:15] Then that makes two

[00:01:17] The pavement is my friend

[00:01:20] And it will take me where I need to go

[00:01:25] I find it trips me up

[00:01:28] And puts me down

[00:01:30] This is not what I'm used to

[00:01:35] The shop across the road

[00:01:39] Fulfills my needs and gives me company

[00:01:42] When I need it

[00:01:43] Voices speak through my walls

[00:01:46] I don't think I'm gonna make it

[00:01:48] Past tomorrow

[00:01:53] London calls me a stranger

[00:01:58] A traveler

[00:02:01] Oh this is now my home my home

[00:02:10] Oh I'm burning on the back street

[00:02:16] Oh stuck here sitting in the backseat

[00:02:20] Oh and I'm blazing on the street

[00:02:25] What I do isn't up to you

[00:02:27] And if the city never sleeps

[00:02:28] Then that makes two

[00:02:31] And my lungs hurt

[00:02:33] And my ears bled

[00:02:35] With the sound of the city life

[00:02:37] Echoed in my head

[00:02:40] Do I need this to keep me alive

[00:02:43] The traffic stops and starts

[00:02:46] But I need to move along

[00:02:51] I'm from a city where the rain won't cease

[00:02:53] Pollution in the air matches that on the street

[00:02:55] Cuase the black smoke gets you head into a muddle like

[00:02:57] Walking into elephant syringes in the puddle like

[00:03:00] I was a country boy when I moved out

[00:03:02] Grew up too fast for my family to find out

[00:03:04] Now I try to stop my music running into nosedives

[00:03:07] Can't resort to arrogance with white lies

[00:03:09] This city won't erase me

[00:03:11] But I can't help to see how this dark city changed me

[00:03:13] It's all the same scene music is my life

[00:03:15] But I try to fight whatever I need to hide from

[00:03:17] North South East West London's my home now

[00:03:20] Knees weak we never slow down

[00:03:22] Now I start to do my music properly

[00:03:24] And stay away from all the negative sh*t that will follow me

[00:03:27] London calls me a stranger

[00:03:37] This is not my home now my home

[00:03:43] Oh I'm burning on the back street

[00:03:50] Oh stuck here sitting in the backseat

[00:03:54] Oh I'm blazing on the street

[00:03:59] What I do isn't up to you

[00:04:01] And if the city never sleeps

[00:04:03] Then that makes two

[00:04:04] Oh I'm burning on the back street

[00:04:08] Oh stuck here sitting in the backseat

[00:04:13] Oh I'm blazing on the street

[00:04:17] What I do isn't up to you

[00:04:19] And if the city never sleeps

[00:04:21] Then that makes two
