The City (Live At Sticky Studios)

This city never sleeps

I hear the people walk by when its late
晚間我聽到人們走過的聲音
Sirens bleed through my windowsill
汽笛流過我的窗沿
I cant close my eyes
我無法閉眼
Dont control what Im into
無法控制我變成什麼樣
This tower is alive
這塔似乎活了過來
The lights that blind keep me awake
無生氣的光線使我無法入眠
With hood up and lace untied
我帶上兜帽散著鞋帶
Sleep fills my mind
昏昏欲睡
Dont control what Im into
無法控制我變成什麼樣
London calls me a stranger

This is now my home, my home

Im burning on the back street
我在後街燃燒
Stuck here sitting in the backseat

And Im blazing on the street

What I do isnt up to you
你不能決定我該做什麼
And if the city never sleeps
如果這城市的長夜漫漫
then that makes two
那我就有伴了
The pavement is my friend
人行道是我的老友
Itll take me where I need to go

I find it trips me up
它把我絆倒在地
and puts me down
讓我消沉
This is not what Im used to

The shop across the road

fulfills my needs and gives me company

when I need it

Voices speak through my walls

And my lungs hurt

With the sound of the city life
城市的喧囂
echoed in my head
在我的腦海中回想
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 wont cease
我來自一個雨水永不停息的城市
Pollution in the air matches that on the street
陰霾密布
The black smoke gets you head into a muddle like
煙霧塵天
walking into elephant syringes in the puddle like
荒蕪凋敝
I was a country boy when I moved out
當我搬走時還是個鄉下孩子
Grew up too fast for my family to find out

Now I try to stop my music running into nosedives
我試圖挽救我所鍾愛的音樂
Cant resort to arrogance with white lies
不再妄自尊大
This city wont erase me

But I cant help to see how this dark city changed me
但這黑暗的城市改變了我
Its all the same scene, music is my life
不論何時何地音樂都是我的生命
But now I try to fight whatever I need to hide from
如今我不再逃避
North, south, east, west, Londons my home now
現在倫敦是我的家了
Knees weak, but we never slow down
雙膝顫抖，但我們從不減速
Now I start to do my music properly

And stay from all the negative **** that will follow me
