Ed Sheeran - 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
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/ed_sheeran/the_a_team.html ]
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
But 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
Angels to die

This song is written and performed by Ed

    Taylor is the daughter of Adrian Stokes, an expert in Psychology of persuasion. In the story of Ads R Us, Taylor discovered that she had been lied to about the circumstances of her birth. She is not the natural child of Adrian Stokes and Kara Trent, but is the true daughter of Adrian Stokes.

    I read the book, “The 5th Wave,” written by Rick Yancey. It was published May 7th, 2013. I personally enjoyed the book. Before I read the book, I saw the trailer for the movie coming out and the main character is my bae. I’m excited for the release of the movie. The trailer was pretty hyped, it really caught my attention with all the action. During reading, I enjoyed how there was so much suspense after each chapter, it kept making me go on to the next one. For example, a chapter ended with Cassie bleeding out under a Buick; a silencer was waiting for her to make her move. It was a really intense moment. Some reviews I read thought the first 100 pages were boring. They concluded that because of the flashbacks to Cassie’s life before the invasion,…

    Belonging-Billy Elliot

    • 962 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Life requires us to move to new stages, each with its own set of obstacles and challenges which, if successfully overcome, can enrich one’s experience. A significant role in this process is played by familial and social values and external interventions. Stephen Daldry’s film ‘Billy Elliot’ (2000) depicts the protagonist’s growth as he discovers a passion for ballet which drives him to break free from traditional masculine stereotypes in his mining hometown. This similar drive traces the quest of the Brennan Family in the Australian Documentary “Proof of life”, when their son Nigel, a war photojournalist, is captured and held hostage in Somalia for ransom. Both texts illustrate the importance of determination, persistence and tenacity in achieving the goals of personal freedom.…

    Brighton Rock - Sympathy

    • 566 Words
    • 2 Pages

    At the beginning of the novel, from the reader’s perspective Spicer gives the impression of being a young boy, in particular with his refusal to eat after they have murdered Hale. “I’ll be sick...if I eat” The Boy then responds with “Spew then”, this suggests that Spicer has a weakness especially within the group. As well as this it implies that Spicer regrets or feels a large amount of emotion towards the act they have just committed unlike Pinkie who seems totally unfazed. However, as the book continues we learn that Spicer is an older man as we are told of his “spots” that appear as well as “upset...bowels”, his “carroty” hair and his “scarred” nose. The sympathy the reader felt before then changes to loathing, as these new descriptions create an unattractive image for the reader. As well as this his earlier weakness now comes across as spineless and almost pathetic. We also learn that Spicer used to be a Jew “but a hairdresser and surgeon had altered that”. This reiterates the point that Spicer is spineless as he can’t even stand by his religion unlike Pinkie who has very strong religious views.…

    Nicolo Ammaniti’s coming of age novel, ‘I’m not scared’, emphasises people’s capacity for evil and self-destruction however it also demonstrates certain people’s ability to show compassion and selflessness. Michele learns that cruelty exists in the real world and not just in his imagination when his father tells him that: “It’s men you should be afraid of, not monsters.” Bullying and poverty, which are explored throughout the novel, also illustrate man’s ability to be evil and to cause self-destruction; this idea is enhanced by the influence of corrupt adults and a sense of having to prove oneself. However this also demonstrates the idea that people are capable of making their own moral choices and are able to show compassion and selflessness…

    Epiphany-Dubliners

    • 526 Words
    • 3 Pages

    "Epiphany" refers to a showing-forth, a manifestation. For Joyce, however, it means a sudden revelation of the ¡°whatness of a thing¡±. Joyce's tales about Dublin portray impotence, frustration and death. Their meaning is provided not so much by plot but by the epiphanies. Aiming either to illustrate an instant of self-realization in the characters themselves, or to raise the trivial existence of his characters to a level of conscious significance for the reader. The figures inside the story whom are rapped by their environment are shown the truth about their lives, whereas readers are shown the whole process which, in its turn, becomes an epiphany for them.…
