[Verse 1]
Steel in the air
Spray paint on brick
Sun hits the ring road
Traffic moves quick
Corner shop open
Steam from the pan
You shout my name
I’m already a fan
[Chorus]
This Birmingham life
It’s a mad one
Vibrant streets
Yeah
It all runs
Loud bikes tearing through the night
I feel at home in the flashing lights
This Birmingham life
I don’t slow down
My heart kicks hard with the sound
Every bite
Every turn
Every crash I hear
I fall in love again right here
[Verse 2]
Grease on my fingers
Spice in my throat (oh yeah)
Laugh till I’m aching
Zips on my coat
Engines are humming
Round every bend
Noise like a language
I call it my friend
[Chorus]
This Birmingham life
It’s a mad one
Vibrant streets
Yeah
It all runs
Loud bikes tearing through the night
I feel at home in the flashing lights
This Birmingham life
I don’t slow down
My heart kicks hard with the sound
Every bite
Every turn
Every crash I hear
I fall in love again right here
[Bridge]
From the Bullring glow to the backstreet queue
Sauce on my shirt
I’m thinking of you
Every shout
Every laugh in this big old town
Feels like a pulse that pulls me down
[Chorus]
This Birmingham life
It’s a mad one
Vibrant streets
Yeah
It all runs
Loud bikes tearing through the night
I feel at home in the flashing lights
This Birmingham life
I don’t slow down
My heart kicks hard with the sound
Every bite
Every turn
Every crash I hear
I fall in love again right here
