Lately (Devlin) Lyrics


ED
mmmmmI seem to find myself talking to the powers that be
awaking the shade and shadowed under towering trees
admiring the seen, inhaling fumes of flowers that breathe.
jet lagged eyes are begging for an hour to sleep
although my blood shot whites and iris's they never find any
clock stops at times where the sun shine can blind many
although my eyes are heavy they wont be closing soon
cos i know that time waits for nobody, I suppose its true
we make corrosive tunes with acid tabs and vocal booths
to see the flashing lights at photo shoots, we make our motive movesI say what ever I feel to vent a rhyme
so i can still invent the lines and stay close to the friends of mine
cos we all recognise, real is what my father says
and i'll be sticking to this phrase until I pass away
overworking, no sleep is just another way to die slow
but i'll just keep going strong as ever, never let my eyes closeDEVLIN
5 o'clock with lights off
interview with a vampire

sleep is for the living and not a utensil that I require
I swear i said, that i'll sleep when im dead
whos on the beat upon the feature with Ed its D-E-V to the Z
over tired, pale faced like Michael Myers
bags underneath my eyes can show the baggage i've acquired
and over the time within this maze i'll think you'll find you'll never find that peace of mind you seek to find until your dying
cuz i got too much to stay awake for, to sleep or even take 4, seconds out the game
its time to wage war
scissors, grab a sword, and sharpen up your hunting knives
2 psychopathic lyricists are driving on the hunt tonight
i'm haling from the Essex and the East London boarder line
villans never sleep they mastermind in all sorts of crimes,
be wide awake just like your snorting lines
or get left mortified like you just seen the ghost of Jesus walking byCHORUS
I never sleep
when trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free, it could be, ahhh
the times i'm living in i never sleep, when trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free, it could be..
the times i'm living in lately.ED
I brush my teeth every night but still I wake up with a bad mouth
and the background is my past and my presence will bring it back out
deliver the raps how I flow
I live with the raps now and those that hate me call me Ron
but they wont slytherin in too easy, believe me im snape minded
be within this great time, be on minimum wage, life is a prison escape that im in
its all to do with timing not the label that you sign with
then my mates are doing fine but then they never put the time in
i try to hide my cold side like when i flip my pillows
some of the the songs i write are real because the chart is filled with si-li-cone
im still broke without the money for a mac pro, living out of three bags no talk about my cash flow
opposite of sober cos I never did my homework
which has got me on the sofa, no degree but growing older
i played a fool to catch the wise i will never tell a lie
i wake dead, take deep breaths, try to never die!
never die.DEVLIN
2 guys with the same view, keep it tight like scrooge,
making metaphors flow and move, like typhoons and tunes
and if we got our eyes on you, we'll catch you while you snooze,
times elapsing while your catching Z's, the masses like to move
we scan the situation, analyse information, and then decide what probably is most practical to do,
driven young gentlemen
i've hardly changed my bed sheets at all over the last 12 months cos i haven't slept in them, true!
im coming home, the lights are on, your rights are wrong so im correcting 'em
we got the fans all like 'oh wow its its Devs and Ed' what less did you bloody expect from 'em
in the end sleep deprivation might just be our detriment
fighting through writers block from 9 o'clock to 5 o'clock and no way will I ever waste a second of the time I got,
i keep my pupils engaged ,
like a classroom in holy matrimony but im only trying to stay awake.CHORUS
I never sleep
when trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free, it could be, ahhh
the times i'm living in i never sleep, when trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free, it could be.. x4
the times i'm living in lately.

Ed Sheeran (born 17 February 1991) is a singer songwriter currently signed under Atlantic Records. Sheeran was born in Halifax, West Yorkshire before moving to Framlingham, Suffolk. In his time in Suffolk, he was known to have flourished as a hidden talent when it came to music. He learned guitar at a very young age, and began writing songs during his time at Thomas Mills High School in Framlingham. By the time Sheeran had left school, he was already certain that music was going to play a major part in his life, and therefore studied at Access To Music in Norwich before moving to London which improved his chances of getting gigs.

Sheeran began recording in 2005, which lead to the release of his first EP, The Orange Room EP. Sheeran also released two albums, a self titled one in 2006 and Want Some? in 2007 gaining little attention. After Sheeran moved to London and had done extensive gigging, performing songs from his EP and albums, as well as ones which he had recently written, he decided to release another EP, You Need Me in late 2009. However, it wasn't until February 2010 that Sheeran began to get noticed after he posted a video through SB.tv displaying his diverse style. This video led to mainstream rapper Example asking Sheeran to tour with him. Throughout 2010, Sheeran began to be seen by more and more people over the internet through Youtube and his fan-base grew incredibly, with him also getting credit from The Independent newspaper, England football captain Rio Ferdinand and even Elton John. Sheeran released three EP's in 2010, Loose Change, which features one of his most known songs, "The A Team", Songs I Wrote With Amy, and Ed Sheeran: Live at the Bedford, a live EP recorded in October. During the year, Sheeran also went to the US, where he was discovered by international superstar Jamie Foxx, who asked Sheeran to perform on his radio show, which gained him some fans in the US. By the end of the year, Sheeran was seen to be one of the best unsigned artists in the country.
On 9 January 2011, Sheeran released his final independent EP, No.5 Collaborations Project featuring appearances by grime artists including Wiley, JME, Devlin and Ghetts. With this EP, Sheeran gained mainstream attention for reaching number 2 in the iTunes chart, without any promotion or label. He was listed as a 'special guest' on Devlin's 2011 'Bud, Sweat and Beers' mini tour alongside Griminal and Tinchy Stryder. Songfacts reports that after signing for Atlantic Records in January 2011 "The A Team" was released as the first single from his debut album on June 12, 2011.
