The Story Behind the Song "The A Team - Ed Sheeran"

The A Team 

The Song By: Ed Sheeran

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 eighteen
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
'Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple 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 eighteen
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
'Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple 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 eighteen
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 upper hand
Go mad for a couple 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
For angels to fly, to fly, to fly
For angels to die


Story behind "the a team"
This song is tell about a girl who addiction to drugs. She works for getting the money, and uses it to get the drug. She also works to pay rent. But her work isn't good. She works in night club and has some jobs with some boys. People always call her "The a team". Which it means "Loser Team": Because she doesn't enjoyed her youth, or it means she wastes her youth for bad jobs or activity. Her family and her friend also tells to that girl. Her money isn't kosher or it is the worst thing she ever gets. "She doesn't want to go outside". 'Cause when she goes out, she'll meet bitter realities of life, or sells love to another man. "And it's too cold outside". It means, reality is too cruel for her.

Moral Value of the Song
This song is like an example from girl who addiction to drug, lost her youth and died young. Drug snatch everything we have. And finally we become loser like that girl, sell our selves just for the drug. And our life isn't enjoyable, also our money that we get isn't kosher. So do not ever try drugs.'Cause drugs will kill yourself, also your behavior.
