Yeah for that and for (writing) "Could Just Be The Bassline" at least I can't fully hate Sheeran.

In fact probably the best non-club-remix version of "Could Just Be The Bassline" is the one that interweaves Kai Lavelle's vocals and Sheeran's unreleased vocals to make a duet:

Sheeran's record label won't let his vocals near it apparently, hence the female vocalist replacing him.
Which is ridiculous b/c it's far and away the best thing he's been involved in.

And I know you love shrekBecause we've watched it 12 times
And maybe you're hoping for a fairy tale tooAnd if your dvd ever breaks todayYou shoulda got a vcr because I've never own a blue ray, true say
I know I've always been shit at computer games because your brother alwaysBeats meAnd if I lost, I go across and chuck all the controllers at the tv
And you laugh at meAnd be asking meIf ima be home next weekThen lie with me, till I fall asleep[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/ed_sheeran/wake_me_up.html ]And flutter eye lash at me between the sheetsAnd you will never know just how beautiful you are to meAnd maybe I'm just in love when you wake me upAnd I think you hate the smell of smokeYou always try to get to stop
But you drink as much as meAnd I get drunk a lot
So I take you to the beachAnd walk along the sandAnd I'll make you a heart pendantWith a pebble held in my hand
And I'll carve it like this necklaceSo the heart falls where your chest isSo a piece of me is a piece of the beachAnd it fallls just where it needs to beAnd rests peacefully
So you just need to beathe to feel my heart against your nowMaybe I'm just in love when you wake me upMaybe I'm just in love when you wake me upMaybe I gfell in love when you woke me up
