Sheeran, Ed - Penguins Lyrics






Met her smoking a cigarette
In a toilet cubicle
Ripped dress, tattooed chest
She's beautiful
Say the time and place to start a future
And darling I don't care
Broken hearts can find a love
To make them whole anywhere

Oh darling, here we go again
We are only man or woman
And we all make mistakes
Don't you know we're only human
It's what our hardships say
And when I heard those words and knew them
I could feel your pain
Cause I have felt disabled

She said we are penguins on the ice
We're not meant to fly
But god knows we can try
Oh, I see a hope that's in her eyes
Can you see the love in mine?

She told about her mum and dad
And they sound just like mine
Day by day, exchanging names
We're two souls intertwined
We have both got it wrong
From time to time and let that go
With each other, hand in hand
As we mend broken souls

Darling, here we go again
We are only blood and bones
That cover beating hearts
Scarred by sticks and stones
But we know who we are
I could put you back together
When you come apart
We should make a start now

She said we are penguins on the ice
We're not meant to fly
But god knows we can try
Oh, I see a hope that's in your eyes
Can you feel the love in mine?

And it feels like we felt serenity
And some things are not what they seem
My love, right now it's only you and me

She said we are penguins on the ice
We're not meant to fly
But god knows we can try
Oh, I see a hope that's in your eyes
Can you feel the love in mine?
Can you feel the love in mine?

    Wow thanks not sure how I could’ve found the lyrics without your help

  18. J.... P....

    Is it official song?

  19. I.... ....

    Beautiful!

  20. A.... R....

    Did you know that penguins spends their whole lives looking for that one other penguin and when they meet them. They know and they spend the rest of their lives together?

    A.... R....

    Jeff Francisco Found my wife my man. Dated for 5 years and got married 25 years ago. Raised some pups and keep holding hands in public. When we aren’t working. It’s not about perfection. Just a good fit. Nut and bolt. I’m just an Engineer and she’s just a teacher. And we just fit.

    A.... R....

    Jeff Francisco By the way everything happens in a blink of an eye. You wake up one day and you’re 50. That sounds old but I don’t feel old. No more than I did at 20. Still able to work 6-7 days per week. And stay up late listening to all kinds of great music. Like this kid. He is good. I didn’t know it would go by so quickly. Just a random thought. And finding the right fit takes a bit of work. I have this old fashioned belief. Women will have children and look after them so much better than men. Men are there to look after their wives. Make sure they are happy and loved. That’s it. No rocket science involved. Has worked for us.

    A.... R....

    @Jim Dandy so you found your penguin

    A.... R....

    My penguin left

    A.... R....

    Did you know that when a clown fish’s mate dies, it will switch its gender and breed with its children?

  21. A.... W....

    i hate pop music but bravo

  22. P.... P....

    I need this on spotify 💖😭

  23. J.... ....

    I still cant believe that ed wrote this in 10 mins..what a genius

  24. J.... B....

    This wasn't from yesterday. This was from two months ago.






    I'm sorry.

    J.... B....

    good one.. good one haha

    J.... B....

    took me a second haha, good one

  25. t.... ....

    ok i need this on spotify

  26. S.... B....

    Thursday Night Live

  27. M.... x....

    I have a theory that Ed always knew that the Beatles existed, that's why he challenged Jack Malik to a song making competition, because he thought that Jack couldn't possibly remember all the lyrics to another song in that short amount of time. It's also why he told him to change the lyrics from "Hey Jude" to "Hey Dude" just because he knew it would get under his skin, and maybe expose him.
    But hey, that's just a theory

    M.... x....

    (It's also how Ed knew what a cigarette was, as mentioned in the song)

    M.... x....

    A film theory

    M.... x....

    I dont think the movie has theories like that

    M.... x....

    No chance, cos Ed would have stolen some of their songs as well if he knew

    M.... x....

    Yeah. He also points out that Jack used “USSR”, instead of “Russia”. A name that has been stopped being used since before Jack was born.

  28. A.... W....

    When I hear this it makes think of a couple that isn’t together anymore and the guy in the relationship is in a gang (that his family forced him to join) and after the final gang war he’s barely living and when she comes to see him bc of the news she realizes she still loves him and unlike the fairytales the girl kinda gives him the enchanted kiss back to life then they get back together. Tho he didn’t want to be part of the family gang he ended up leading them to victory even if it almost cost him his life and he the war is kind of a family feud between his moms side and dads side a classic twist to a Romeo and Juliet story.

    A.... W....

    this is sad, but i love the fact that she still loves him. what is death? death is not the enemy. where is love there is hope, there is loyalty, there is home. dying like a hero and being a lover too. this reminds me of an albanian book, Songs of Milosao, by Girolamo De Rada..

  29. Q.... L....

    I hate penguins but still love this song. Don’t know why!

    J.... P....

    João P. Nascimento is this a Yesterday movie reference??

    J.... P....

    Yeah, it is! When you watch the film you'll get it!

    J.... P....

    But he said he actually wrote it really quick in an interview, I think that like in 30 minutes

    J.... P....

    @Lara Thompson Oh, I didn't know that! That's really cool!!

  38. P.... C....

    [Verse 1]
Met her smoking a cigarette
In a toilet cubicle
Red dress, tattooed chest
She's beautiful
This ain't the time or place to start a future
But darling I don't care
Broken hearts can find a love
To make them whole anywhere

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh darling, here we go again
We are only man or woman
And we all make mistakes
Don't you know we're only human
It's what our hardships say
And when I heard those words and knew them
I could feel your pain
Cause I have felt the same, oh

[Chorus]
She said we are penguins on the ice
We're not meant to fly
But god knows we can try
Oh, I see a hope that's in her eyes
Can you feel the love in mine?

    [Verse 2]
She told about her mum and dad
And they sound just like mine
Day by day, exchanging names
We're two souls intertwined
We have both got it wrong
From time to time and let that go
With each other, hand in hand
As we mend broken souls

[Pre-Chorus]
Darling, here we go again
We are only blood and bones
That cover beating hearts
Scarred by sticks and stones
But we know who we are
I could put you back together
When you come apart

[Chorus]
She said we are penguins on the ice
We're not meant to fly
But god knows we can try
Oh, I see a hope that's in your eyes
Can you feel the love in mine?

    [Bridge]
And it feels like we felt serenity
And some things are not what they seem
My love, right now it's only you and me

[Outro]
She said we are penguins on the ice
We're not meant to fly
But god knows we can try
Oh, I see a hope that's in your eyes
Can you feel the love in mine?
Can you feel the love in mine?

  61. L.... l....

    😁🤗🐧🐧💗💗😘😘

  62. S.... ....

    It's no 'The long and winding road', but decent

    S.... ....

    Haha...
    I'm not exactly sure how Ed (in the film) was so certain that this one had definitely lost the song battle vs "The Long and Winding Road" though. :) I am a huge Beatles fan (and hence, BTW, also a fan of the '60s retro style original music by the MonaLisa Twins - look them up, and you'll see what I mean... ;) ) - actually, the Beatles are my #1 favorite band/artist of all time; and I am not a particularly big fan of Ed's; yet, I think this song is at least as good, probably even better than the "The Long and Winding Road". :O Interesting choices of these two songs... Did real-life Ed maybe think it was a good little song, but just not grand and brilliant enough to compete? o_O

    S.... ....

    Christomir Rackov I think the lyrics are okay,but the tune and melody can’t compare to the long and winding road

    S.... ....

    @อคิรา เจริญธนิกุล Fair enough. But it is a question of personal taste... And, for my taste (although, as I said, I am a huge Beatles fan, and not an Ed Sheeran fan), it just so happens that I don't like the melody of "The Long and Winding Road" more than that of Ed's song here. In fact, if I listed a personal ranking of all Beatles songs (which I will never do, because it's a lot of work LOL), I suspect "The Long and Winding Road" would struggle to even make the Top 150, out of 213 songs overall. :) And have in mind that it is exactly the melodies, and the pure *music* in general, that is my main criteria, when evaluating songs - I rarely give much (or any) weight to the lyrics, no matter how good or bad they are. That's just how I roll - I listen to music for the actual *music*, not for the poetry. So, if I like the music in Ed's song at least as much as that in "The Long and Winding Road", that should tell you a lot about how little I like the latter, compared to other Beatles songs :)

  63. T.... K....

    so perfect

  64. A.... ....

    Just ed sheeran ❤️
