Secret Fan Girls

Ed Sheeran's new album, "Divide," is finally out. The grammy award-winning artist released his work on March 3, 2017. You better believe the fans are going crazy. In the album, Ed mentions his lack of a college education. He may not have a degree, but he's certainly a lyrical genius. Here is a list of lyrics from each song that display his brilliance.

1. "Eraser"

"I chased the picture perfect life, I think they painted it wrong."

2. "Castle on the Hill"

"I still remember these old country lanes when we didn't know the answers."

3. "Dive"

"I could fall, or I could fly here in your aeroplane and I could live, I could die hanging on the words you say."


4. "Shape of You"

"Your love was handmade for somebody like me."

5. "Perfect"

"When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath but you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight."

6. "Galway Girl"

"She played the fiddle in an Irish band, but she fell in love with an English man."

7. "Happier"

"My friends told me one day I'll feel it too and until then I'll smile to hide the truth but I know I was happier with you."

8. "Hearts Don't Break Around Here"

"Took my heart on a one-way trip guess she went wandering off with it."

9. "New Man"

"Tribal tattoos and he don't know what it means, but I heard he makes you happy, so that's fine by me."

10. "What Do I Know?"

"We could change this world with a piano add a bass, some guitar, grab a beat and away we go."

11. "How Would You Feel (Paean)"

"Love flows deeper than the river every moment that I spend with you."

12. "Supermarket Flowers"

"It's tearing me up, but I know that a heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved."

"So I'll sing Hallelujah you were an angel in the shape of my mum."

"When God takes you back He'll say, 'Hallelujah you're home.'"

13. "Barcelona"

"I fell in love with the sparkle in the moonlight reflected in your beautiful eyes. I guess that is destiny doing it right. "

14. "Bibia Be Ye Ye"

"And in the pocket of my jeans are only coins and broken dreams."


15. "Nancy Mulligan"

"Nancy was my yellow rose and we got married wearing borrowed clothes. We got eight children, now growing old, five sons and three daughters."

16. "Save Myself"

"And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf, no farewell. So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself."

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
