1.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 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
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 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
For angels to die
2.Drunk
I wanna be drunk when I wake up,
On the right side of the wrong bed,
And never an excuse that I made up,
Tell you the truth that it weren't,
Didn't kill me, yeah it never made me stronger at all,
Love will scare your makeup,
Lip sticks to me and make me lean back here,
I'm sat here, wishing I was sober,
And no i'll never hold you like I used to
But the house gets cold when you cut the heating,
Without you to hold i'll be freezing,
Can't rely on the heart-a-beating,
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,
watch it 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？
No I know you'll never love me, like you used to
And maybe other people like us,
Will see the flicker of the clipper when they light us,
Flames just create us, burns dont heal like before
You dont hold me anymore
On cold days cold plays out like the bands 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
Im hear 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 again
All by myself
Im hear again
All by myself
You know i'll never change
All by myself
All by myself
I'm just drunk, again
I'll be drunk, again
I'll be drunk, again
To feel a little love
3.U. N. I.
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 in the day 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,
End up forgetting things about myself,
I'm stubborn I'm forward heads just blocked
My heads still with you but my hearts just not
So am I close to you anymore, now 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 staker and every thing I say
seems to always sound akward,
Like our last kiss it was perfect, but 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, now 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
Because, if I was gunna go somewhere, I'd be there by now,
And maybe I can let myself down, ohh
And thinking 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
4.Grade 8
My mind is a warrior,
My heart is a foreigner,
My eyes are the colour of red like the sunset,
I'll never keep it bottled up,
And left to the hands of the coroner,
Be a true heart not a follower,
We're not done yet,
And i see it in your movements tonight,
If we should ever do this right,
Im never gonna let you down,
Oh ill never let you down,
Now keep it on the down low
And ill keep you around so ill know,
That ill never let you down,
Ill never let you down.
Your strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but i
never felt this way,
Ill pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you
down,
Your strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but i
never felt this way,
Ill pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you
down,
My eyes are a river filler,
This drink is a liver killer,
Your chest is a pillow for my weary head to lay to rest again,
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,
Im never gonna let you down,
Oh ill never let you down,
We'll keep it on the down low
And ill keep you around so ill know,
That ill never let you down,
Ill never let you down,
Your strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but i
never felt this way,
Ill pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you
down,
Your strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but i
never felt this way,
Ill pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you
down,
Hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now, and ill never
let you down x4
Cus your strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8
but i never felt this way,
Ill pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you
down,
Your strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but i
never felt this way,
Ill pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you
down,
5.Wake Me Up
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.
Gyal you want me to hold yuh, put me arms right around ya, gyal
you give me the tightest love me ever seen in my life, Gyal just
want me to squeeze ya, ya put me arms right around ya, Gyal you
give me the tightest love me ever seen in my life. ( Oh in my
life, Oh, Oh in my life, Ohh, Oh in my life, Ohhh)
Well maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up,
Maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up,
I said maybe I fell in love, when you woke me up.
6.Small Bump
You were just a Small Bump unborn, in Four months your 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 your scan of my unmade plans,
Small bump four months your born to life
and ill whisper quietly, I'll give you nothing but truth,
If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you
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.
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.
and I'll hold you tightly, but tell you nothing but truth,
If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you
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.
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.
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.
cause You were just a small bump unborn for four months then
torn from life.
Maybe you were needed up there but were still un-aware as why
7.This
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
You are the start of something new
8.The City
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 cant 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
9.Lego House
I'm gonna pick up the pieces
And build a lego house
If things go wrong we can knock it down
And three words have
two meanings
there's one thing on my mind
It's all for you
And it's dark in the cold december
but i've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken heart won't mend, yeah
and keep you sheltered from the storm
that's raging on now
I'm out of touch
I'm out of love
I'll bring 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 anytime
And out of all these things i've done
I think I love you better now
now
I'm gonna paint you by numbers
and colour you in
if things go right
we could 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 anytime
And out of all these things i've done
I think I love you better now
don't hold me down
i think the 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 heart wont mend, yeah
and keep you sheltered from the storm
that's raging on 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 anytime
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
I will love you better now
10.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'm 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
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
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
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
You need me, man, I don't need you
Until you need me
I sing, I write my own tune
and I write my own verse, hell
Don't need another wordsmith to make the tune sell
Call yourself a singer-writer
You're just bluffing
Name's on the credits
Said 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 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
Young singer-writer like that Gabriella Cilmi
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
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
You need me, man, I don't need you
Until you need me man
Cause with the lyrics I'll be aiming it right
I won't stop 'til my name's in lights
stadium heights with Damien Rice, on red carpets
Now I'm on Arabian Nights
Because I'm young and know a brother's gonna give me advice
Long nighter, short height and I've gone hyper
Never be anything but a singer-songwriter
Yep 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 could read the lyrics while 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
For giving a dose of what the future holds
Cause it's another day
Plus I keep my last name forever
Keep the genre pretty basic
And I'll be breaking into other people's tunes when I chase it
And replace it with an eleplant in a room with a facelift
Into a another rapper's shoes with new laces
I'm selling CDs from a rucksack
Aiming for the papers
Selling CDs from a rucksack
Aiming for the majors
Nationwide 'til we just jack
As soon as they get the bus back
Clean cut kid with 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 Rufio
Melody, music maker
Reading all the papers
They say I'm up and coming like I'm fucking 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
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
You need me, man, I don't need you
Until you need me man
I don't need you
11.Kiss Me

12.Give Me Love(The Parting Glass)
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 find 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

my my, my my give me love.
my my, my my, oh give me love..(x12)
(Break)
Of all the money e'er I had
I've spent it in good company
And all the harm e'er I've done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of width
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 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 lot
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
Goodnight and joy be with you all
