The City (Live at the Bedford)

[0.0] The City (Live at the Bedford) - Ed Sheeran
[44.44] The city never sleeps
[48.04] I hear the people walk by when its late
[52.03] Sirens beat through my window sill
[54.64] I cant close my eyes
[56.41] Dont control what Im into
[61.66] This town is alive
[65.8] With lights that blind keep me awake
[69.53] With my hood up and lace untied
[72.229996] The street fills my mind
[73.96] Dont control what Im into
[79.16] London calls me a stranger
[83.31] A traveller ohoohohh
[87.89] This is now my home my home
[95.75] Oh woah
[98.36] Burning on the back street
[100.07] Oh woah
[101.92] Stuck here sitting in the back seat
[104.39] Oh woah
[106.32] And Im blazing on the street
[108.7] What I do isnt upto you
[110.770004] And if the city never sleeps then that makes two
[113.869995] The pavement is my friend
[117.71] Itll take me where I need to go
[121.59] If I find it trips me up
[124.55] And puts me down
[126.23] This is not what Im used to
[131.48] The shop across the road
[135.53] It fills my needs and keeps me company
[137.84] When I need it
[139.23] Voices beat through my walls
[141.68] I dont think Im gonna make it
[143.81] Past to-mor-roow
[148.88] London calls me a stranger
[153.17] A traveller ohoohohh
[157.74] This is now my home
[161.86] My home
[165.74] Oh woah
[168.1] Burning on the back street
[169.8] Oh woah
[171.66] Stuck here sitting in the back seat
[174.17] Oh woah
[176.36] And Im blazing on the street
[178.41] What I do isnt upto you
[180.53] And if the city never sleeps then that makes two
[183.51] And my lungs hurt
[185.68] And my ears bled
[188.02] With the sounds of the city life
[189.74] Echoed in my head
[192.26] Do I need this
[194.12] To keep me alive
[195.75] The traffic stops and starts but I
[198.2] Need to move along
[209.25] Im from a city where the rain wont cease
[210.91] Pollution in the air matches that on the street
[213.27] The black smoke gets your head in a muddle like
[215.48] Walking into elephants syringes in the puddle like
[217.76] I was a country boy when I moved out
[219.72] Grew up to fast for my family to find out
[221.78] Now I try to stop my music running into nosedives
[223.89] Cant resort to arrogance with white lies
[226.4] This city wont erase me
[227.9] But I cant help to see how this dark city changed me
[230.79001] Its all the same scene music is my life
[232.52] But I try to fight whatever I need to hide from
[235.01] North
[235.4] South
[235.66] East
[235.85] West
[236.42] Londons my home now knees weak but we never slow down
[239.19] Now I start to do my music properly
[241.12] And stay away from the negitave s**t that will follow me
[244.21] London calls me a stranger
[252.9] This is now my home home
[261.08] Oh woah
[263.24] Burning on the back street
[265.1] Oh woah
[266.75] Stuck here sitting in the back seat
[269.27] Oh woah
[271.16] And Im blazing on the street
[273.55] What I do isnt up to you
[275.73] And if the city never sleeps then that makes two
[277.99] Oh woah
[280.66998] Burning on the back street
[282.39] Oh woah
[284.24] Stuck here sitting in the back seat
[286.66998] Oh woah
[288.44] And Im blazing on the street
[290.94] What I do isnt up to you
[293.03] And if the city never sleeps then that makes two
