Let’s talk about magic. Because music, at its best, is a kind of magic that lifts you up and takes you somewhere else. "I want my music to sound like throwing yourself out of a tree, or off a tall building, or as if you’re being sucked down into the ocean and you can’t breathe," says Florence Welch. "It’s something overwhelming and all-encompassing that fills you up, and you’re either going to explode with it, or you’re just going to disappear." Florence writes her best songs when she’s drunk or has a hangover, because that’s when the freedom, the feral music comes, creating itself wildly from the fragments gathered in her notebooks and in her head. "You’re lucid," she explains, "but you’re not really there. You’re floating through your own thoughts, and you can pick out what you need. I like those weird connections in the universe. I feel that life’s like a consistent acid trip, those times when things keep coming back." Florence herself is a mass of contradictions: she’s tough yet she’s terrified, a bundle of nerves and passion, of darkness and pure joy. "I feel things quite intensely, which is why the music has to be so intense. I’m either really sad or really happy, I’m tired or completely manic. That’s when I’m at my most creative, but it’s also dangerous for me. I feel I could write some good songs, or break some hearts. Or tables. Or glasses." As a performer she can seem fearless, but she’s also far too quick to pass judgement on herself. This is the woman, after all who got into Camberwell art college by making a huge floral sign telling herself ‘You are a twat.’ She says she’s a geek, who loses all control when in love. She’s also something increasingly rare and precious in a time of karaoke pop: an artist who has found her own, authentic voice. Her soaring, epic vocals, quirky melodies and self-contained musical world have already won her the 2009 Critics Choice Award at the Brits. Some compare her to Kate Bush. You’ll also find touches of Tom Waits and Nick Cave in her dark visions, and if you heard a little of Bjork too, she’d find it a compliment. But mainly, Florence is out on her own: an exhilarating place to be, she points out, but also a little scary. Her debut album ‘Lungs’ is made of harps, choirs, drums, elevator shafts, bits of metal, love, death, fireworks, string quartets, stamping, sighing, strange electronic wailing, lambs, lions, sick, broken glass, blood, moon, stars, drink, coffins, teeth, water, wedding dresses.. and the silences in between. The songs are full of Gothic imagery, of fairytale flights of fantasy, and although much has been read into her lyrics, Florence says it’s usually simple. "Everything is about boys!" she laughs. "The whole album is about love – and pain. People see my lyrics as crazy, but to me it’s an honest, heartfelt album. I didn’t set out to be wacky. I just want it to be emotive." Florence grew up in Camberwell, south London, the oldest of three children. One of her earliest musical memories is standing on top of the trunk where her dad kept his vinyl collection, dancing with him to the Rolling Stones. She started singing along to Nina Simone and Dusty Springfield at home, expanded her vocal range with arias, then became a pre-teen skatepunk before getting lost in the Camberwell art college squat party scene. It’s an eclectic mix, but for her, the common thread is always the emotion. "Anything that has real feeling in it always excites me. Sam Cooke’s ‘A Change is Going To Come’, Eva Cassidy singing ‘Wade In The Water’, even Rhianna’s ‘Umbrella’ – I’m obsessed with music. I’ll play Beyonce, Lil Wayne, Bob Dylan’s ‘Hurricane’, Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Going Down’. Florence found her own space by going out to clubs and pubs, by singing onstage and in her bedroom. By the time she left school, she’d already written songs like ‘Kiss With A Fist’, and knew she wanted to make music but not how to go about it. So after a year working behind a bar she went to art school, making tents under the desk to sleep off her hangovers while trying to convince her tutors she was an installation. It wasn’t until she wrote the haunting ‘Between Two Lungs’ that it all came together. Instead of percussion, Florence pounded the studio walls with her hands. She built the melody on the piano even though it’s not an instrument she knows how to play, and recorded the backing vocals first, before writing the top line. It’s bonkers and totally unconventional, but of course it is also glorious – a strange but yearning song about losing yourself in love. "I’d found my voice, and I just felt euphoric," she recalls. "It’s been a real process of me learning that the way I wanted to do it was actually the right way. This whole album has been about having faith in myself." As for The Machine, it’s a flexible beast. It can go right down to Florence and a drum kit or a piano, but right now it’s a seven-piece band including long-term collaborators Rob Ackroyd (guitar), Chris Hayden (drums), Isabella Summers (keyboards) and Tom Monger (harp). "I’ve worked with most of them for a long time and they know my style, know the way I write, they know what I want." Live, Florence and The Machine become an entirely different beast. No two performances are ever alike, and clad in clothes often culled from local second-hand shops that day, Florence goes at it like a woman possessed. "It’s just this sense of total freedom," she says. "It sounds so cheesy, but I want to touch people. Not in a weird way. I just want to help them feel what I’m feeling."

Wouldn't mind my life with plans and some sense for a least a day. Or, Just wait until it blows! Seconds later...

Slow Tune When you told me I looked lovely And we walked into the park Something started on that day Something happened to my heart, something strange It was a quiet rain that fell upon your face And I knew then that I had won the losing race The losing race Nothing was strange Nothing was simple or permanent nothing had changed Up in the firmament Love was determined to come down and make its name The prodigal choice, love is the voice That fans the flame, that burns away and shoot to fame And in its place It shaped a face Blinds your mind in some temporal stasis All the while trying to figure out Trying to figure Who the face is You just want in to be mine There's a rose on the table It's been there for a while It's the last thing you gave me Simple as that Divine is the word Young is the mind Sin of the logo You never know when you just Don't know The power's so potent You're in love With the word love and know it fits in to the moment It's the last thing you gave me You could be right This could be love at the fist sight But just because it exists, it's not your birthright If the problem persists it could be a cursed night Let the smiles of the present dictate the presence of heavenly pleasantries And the let laughter live long along the cosy breeze I would love to live in a moment A wandering Ronin Running around in a freeze frame of a moment stolen A swollen memory I'd love to tuck up and sleep in it I want to believe in it That happiness is eternal It won't just recede and quit It must supersede the shit Can't crumble and bleed to bits There's something of beauty in every one man's smile I'm willing to plead my wits Not wanting scene to change I've planted my seeds of pain Them and the greenery Intravenously cleaning up in my veins Not wanting the feeling to go But as the wind blows So much this world keep on turning

Drumming Song There’s a drumming noise inside my head That starts when you’re around I swear that you could hear it It makes such an all mighty sound There’s a drumming noise inside my head That throws me to the ground I swear that you should hear it It makes such an all mighty sound Louder than sirens Louder than bells Sweeter than heaven And hotter than hell I ran to a tower where the church bells chime I hoped that they would clear my mind They left a ringing in my ear But that drum’s beating loud and clear Louder than sirens Louder than bells Sweeter than heaven And hotter than hell Louder than sirens Louder than bells Sweeter than heaven And hotter than hell Louder than sirens Louder than bells Sweeter than heaven And hotter than hell As I move my feet towards your body I can hear this beat it fills my head up And gets louder and louder It fills my head up and gets louder and louder I run to the river and dive straight in I pray that the water will drown out the din But as the water fills my mouth It couldn’t wash the echoes out But as the water fills my mouth It couldn’t wash the echoes out I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole Till there’s nothing left inside my soul As empty as that beating drum But the sound has just begun As I move my feet towards your body I can hear this beat it fills my head up And gets louder and louder It fills my head up and gets louder and louder There’s a drumming noise inside my head That starts when you’re around I swear that you could hear it It makes such an all mighty sound There’s a drumming noise inside my head That starts when you’re around I swear that you could hear it It makes such an all mighty sound Louder than sirens Louder than bells Sweeter than heaven And hotter than hell Louder than sirens Louder than bells Sweeter than heaven And hotter than hell As I move my feet towards your body I can hear this beat it fills my head up And gets louder and louder It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
Between Two Lungs Between two lungs it was released The breath that carried me The sigh that blew me forward Because it was trapped Trapped between two lungs It was trapped between two lungs It was trapped between two lungs And my running feet could fly Each breath screaming "We are all too young to die!" Between two lungs it was released The breath that passed from you to me That flew between us as we slept That slipped from your mouth into mine It crept between two lungs It was released The breath that passed from you to me That flew between us as we slept That slipped from your mouth into mine It crept Because it was trapped Tapped between two lungs It was trapped between two lungs Now all the days of begging The days of theft No more gasping for a breath The air has filled me head-to-toe And I can see the ground far below I have this breath and I hold it tight And I keep it in my chest with all my might I pray to god this breath will last As it pushes past my lips As I... Between two lungs it was released The breath that passed from you to me Cosmic Love A falling star fell from your heart And landed in my eyes I screamed aloud As it tore through them And now it's left me blind The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat I tried to find the sound But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness, So darkness I became The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart I took the stars from our eyes, and then I made a map And knew that somehow I could find my way back Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too So I stayed in the darkness with you The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart My Boy Builds Coffins My boy builds coffins with hammers and nails He doesn't build ships, he has no use for sails He doesn't make tables, dressers or chairs He can't carve a whistle ‘cause he just doesn't care My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor Kings and Queens they've all knocked on his door Beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves They all come to him 'cause he's so eager to please My boy builds coffins he makes them all day But it's not just for work and it isn't for play He's made one for himself One for me too One of these days he'll make one for you My boy builds coffins for better or worse Some say it’s a blessing, some say it’s a curse He fits them together in sunshine or rain Each one is unique, no two are the same My boy builds coffins and I think it's a shame That when each ones been made, he can't see it again He crafts every one with love and with care Then it's thrown in the ground it just isn't fair My boy builds coffins he makes them all day But it's not just for work and it isn't for play He's made one for himself One for me too One of these days he'll make one for you Hurricane Drunk No walls Can keep me protected No sleep Nothing inbetween me and the rain And you can't save me now I'm in the grip of a hurricane I'm gonna blow myself away I'm going out I'm gonna drink myself to death And in the crowd I see you with someone else I brace myself Cause I know it's going to hurt But I like to think at least things can't get any worse No home I don't want shelter No calm Nothing to keep me from the storm And you can't hold me down 'Cause I belong to the hurricane It's gonna blow us all away I'm going out I'm gonna drink myself to death And in the crowd I see you with someone else I brace myself Cause I know it's going to hurt But I like to think at least things can't get any worse I hope that you see me Cause I'm staring at you But when you look over You look right through Then you lean and kiss her on the head And I never felt so alive, and so dead I'm going out I'm gonna drink myself to death And in the crowd I see you with someone else I brace myself Cause I know it's going to hurt I'm going out, woah-oh-o I'm going out I'm gonna drink myself to death And in the crowd I see you with someone else, I brace myself Cause I know it's going to hurt I'm going out, woah-oh-o I'm going out, woah-oh-o I'm going o-o-o-o-o-o-out I'm going out, woah-oh-o I'm going out
Blinding Seems that I have been held, in some dreaming state A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber Until I realise that it was you who held me under Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world And I could hear the thunder and see the lightning crack All around the world was waking, I never could go back ‘Cause all the walls of dreaming, they were torn right open And finally it seemed that the spell was broken And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world Snow White's stitching up the circuit boards Synapse slipping through the hidden door Snow White's stitching up the circuit board No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world Snow White's stitching up the circuit boards Synapse slipping through the hidden door Snow White's stitching up the circuit board Synapse slipping through the hidden door

smallest of gestures And short shallow gasps But with all my education I can’t seem to command it And the words are all skipping and coming back all damaged And I will put them back in poetry if I only knew how I can’t seem to understand it Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin And I would give all this and heaven too I would give it all if only for a moment That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see ‘Cause I’ve been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all And it talks to me in tiptoes And sings to me inside It cries out in the darkest night and breaks in morning light But with all my education I can’t seem to command it And the words are all skipping and coming back all damaged And I will put them back in poetry if I only knew how I can’t seem to understand it And I would give all this and heaven too I would give it all if only for a moment That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see ‘Cause I’ve been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all And I would give all this and heaven too I would give it all if only for a moment That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see ‘Cause I’ve been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all No, words are a language that doesn’t deserve such treatment That all of my stumbling phrases never amounted to anything worth this feeling All this heaven never could describe such a feeling as I’m here Words were never so useful ‘til I was screaming out a language that I never knew existed before Leave My Body I'm gonna be released from behind these lines And I don't care whether I live or die And I'm losing blood, I'm gonna leave my bones And I don't want your heart it leaves me cold I don't want your

need the birds let them fly away And I don't want the clouds, they never seem to stay I don't want no future I don't need no past One grand moment Is all I ask I don't want your future I don't need your past One grand moment Is all I ask I'm gonna leave my body (Moving up to higher ground) I'm gonna lose my mind (History keeps pulling me down) Said I'm gonna leave my body (Moving up to higher

Conductor (How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful Target Bonus Track) I tried to control my shaking With just one sound I tried to warm the ocean By writing it down I tried to tame my nightmare Line by line If I write a song about you Does that make you mine Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin The conductor caught in slow motion The orchestra plays on Over and over, the same motion This work is never done The only thing that's certain Is your indecision I guess it must be working 'Cause you hit me with such precision Now the strings are breaking Their fingers run with blood But they keep on playing The cycle never stops Who's in control Who's playing who She wants to be amongst them Conducting them too She knows the song won't save her But what else can she do She weeps just like a willow She's playing for you She's fragile and she's ferocious As the current flows through She's a conductor caught in slow motion The orchestra plays on Over and over, the same motion This work is never done Now here comes the crescendo The music starts to swell And now it's so ecstatic I know this part so well And then it goes staccato The notes were flying up Higher and higher But they never reach the top Who's in control Who's playing who Who's in control Who's playing who I am the orchestra The conductor too My heart is a concert hall And I filled it with you
Pure Feeling

High As Hope
June The show was ending and I had started to crack Woke up in Chicago and the sky turned black And you're so high, you're so high, you had to be an angel And I'm so high, I'm so high, I can see an angel I hear your heart beating in your chest The world slows 'till there's nothing left Skyscrapers look on like great, unblinking giants In those heaviest days in June When love became an act of defiance Hold on to each other Hold on to each other Hold on to each other Hold on to each other And you were broken-hearted and the world was too And I was beginning to lose my grip And I have always held it loosely But this time I admit I felt it really start to slip And choirs sang in the street And I would come to you To watch the television screen in your hotel room Always down to hide with you Hold on to each other Hold on to each other Hold on to each other Hold on to each other You're so high, you're so high You're so high, you're so high You're so high, you're so high You had to be an angel I'm so high, I'm so high I'm so high, I'm so high I'm so high, I'm so high I can see an angel

South London Forever When I go home alone I drive past the place where I was born And the places that I used to drink Young and drunk and stumbling in the street Outside the Joiner's Arms like foals unsteady on their feet With the art students and the boys in bands High on E and holding hands with someone that I just met I thought "it doesn't get Better than this There can be nothing better than this Better than this" And we climbed onto the roof of the museum And someone made love in the grass And I forgot my name On the way back to my mother's house With your black pool eyes and your bitten lips The world is at your fingertips It doesn't get better than this What else could be better than this Oh, do you know I have seen I have seen the fields aflame And everything I ever did Was just another way to scream your name Over and over and over and over again Over and over and over and over again And we're just children wanting children of our own I want a space to watch things grow But did I dream too big Do I have to let it go What if one day there is no such thing as snow Oh God, what do I know And I don't know anything Except that green is so green And there's a special kind of sadness that seems to come with spring Oh, do you know I have seen I have seen the fields aflame And everything I ever did Was just another way to scream your name Over and over and over and over again Over and over and over and over again Oh, do you know that I have seen I have seen the fields aflame But everything I ever did Was just another way to scream your name

100 Years I believe in you and in our hearts we know the truth And I believe in love and the darker it gets, the more I do Try and fill us with your hate and we will shine a light And the days will become endless and never, and never turn to night And never, and never turn to night Then it's just too much, I cannot get you close enough A hundred arms, a hundred years, you can always find me here And lord, don't let me break this, let me hold it lightly Give me arms to pray with instead of ones that hold too tightly We have no need to fight We raise our voices and let our hearts take flight Get higher than those planes can fly Where the stars do not take sides Then it's just too much, I cannot get you close enough A hundred arms, a hundred years, you can always find me here And lord, don't let me break this, let me hold it lightly Give me arms to pray with instead of ones that hold too tightly And then it's just too much, the streets, they still run with blood A hundred arms, a hundred years, you can always find me here And lord, don't let me break this, let me hold you lightly Give me arms to pray with instead of ones that hold too tightly I let him sleep, and as he does My hot breath fills the room with love Hurts in ways I can't describe My heart bends and breaks so many, many times And is born again with each sunrise And is born again with each sunrise Funerals were held all over the city But youth bleeding in the square And women raged as old men fumbled and cried We're sorry, we thought you didn't care And how does it feel now you've scratched that itch How does it feel And pulled out all your stiches Hubris is a bitch A hundred arms, a hundred years A hundred arms, a hundred years And then it's just too much, the streets, they still run with blood A hundred arms, a hundred years, you can always find me here And lord, don't let me break this, let me hold you lightly Give me arms to pray with instead of ones that hold too tightly
The End of Love I feel nervous in a way that can't be named I dreamt last night of a sign that read, "the end of love" And I remember thinking Even in my dreaming it was a good line for a song We were a family pulled from the flood You tore the floor boards up And let the river rush in Not wash away, wash away We were reaching in the dark That summer in New York And it was so far to fall But it didn't hurt at all And let it wash away, wash away And in a moment of joy and fury I threw myself From the balcony like my grandmother so many years before me I've always been in love with you Could you tell it from the moment that I met you We were a family pulled from the flood You tore the floor boards up And let the river rush in Not wash away, wash away We were reaching in the dark (wash away) That summer in New York (wash away) And was it so far to fall (wash away) That it didn't hurt at all Let it wash away, wash away And Joshua came down from the mountain With a tablet in his hands Told me that he loved me, yeah And then ghosted me again We were reaching in the dark That summer in New York And it was so far to fall But it didn't hurt at all I let it wash away, wash away Reaching in the dark (wash away) That summer in New York (wash away) And was it so far to fall (wash away) That it didn't hurt at all And let it wash away, wash away
No Choir And it's hard to write about being happy 'Cause the older I get I find that happiness is an extremely uneventful subject And there would be no grand choirs to sing No chorus could come in About two people sitting doing nothing But I must confess I did it all for myself I gathered you here to hide from some vast unnameable fear But the loneliness never left me I always took it with me But I can put it down in the pleasure of your company And there will be no grand choirs to sing No chorus will come in No ballad will be written It will be entirely forgotten And if tomorrow it's all over At least we had it for a moment Oh, darling, things seem so unstable But for a moment we were able to be still And there will be no grand choirs to sing No chorus will come in No ballad will be written This will be entirely forgotten
Dance Fever
King We argue in the kitchen about whether to have children About the world ending and the scale of my ambition And how much is art really worth The very thing you're best at is the thing that hurts the most But you need your rotten heart Your dazzling pain like diamond rings You need to go to war to find material to sing I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King I need my golden crown of sorrow, my bloody sword to swing My empty halls to echo with grand self-mythology I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King But a woman is a changeling, always shifting shape Just when you think you have it figured out Something new begins to take What strangе claws are these, scratching at my skin I nеver knew my killer would be coming from within I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King I need my golden crown of sorrow, my bloody sword to swing I need my empty halls to echo with grand self-mythology ’Cause I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King And I was never as good as I always thought I was But I knew how to dress it up I was never satisfied, it never let me go Just dragged me by my hair and back on with the show
Free Sometimes I wonder if I should be medicated If I would feel better just lightly sedated The feeling comes so fast and I cannot control it I'm on fire, but I'm trying not to show it As it picks me up, puts me down It picks me up, puts me down Picks me up, puts me dow A hundred times a day It picks me up, puts me down Chews me up, spits me out Picks me up and puts me down I'm always running from something I push it back, but it keeps on coming And being clever never got me very far Because it's all in my head "You're too sensitive", they said I said, "Okay, but let's discuss this at the hospital" Picks me up, puts me down It picks me up, puts me down Picks me up, puts me down A hundred times a day Picks me up, puts me down Chews me up, spits me out Picks me up, puts me down But I hear the music I feel the beat And for a moment When I'm dancing I am free I hear the music I feel the beat And for a moment When I'm dancing I am free I am free Is this how it is Is this how it's always been To exist in the face of suffering and death And somehow still keep singing Oh like Christ up on a cross Who died for us, who died for what Oh don't you wanna call it off But there is nothing else that I know how to do But to open up my arms and give it all to you 'Cause I hear the music I feel the beat And for a moment When I'm dancing I am free I am free I am free I am free
Choreomania And I am freaking out in the middle of the street With the complete conviction of someone Who's never had anything actually really bad happen to them But I am committed now to the feeling I don't know how it started Don't know how to stop it Suddenly, I'm dancin' To imaginary music Something's coming, so out of breath I just kept spinnin' and I danced myself to death Something's coming, so out of breath I just kept spinnin' and I danced myself to death And this is the end And I'm thinking about her Driving around in the backseat of the car I'll be your demon daddy And do they speak to you? 'Cause they spеak to me too The pressurе and the panic You push your body through Something's coming, so out of breath I just kept spinnin' and I danced myself to death Something's coming, so out of breath I just kept spinnin' and I danced myself to death You said that rock and roll is dead But is that just because it has not been Resurrected in your image Like if Jesus came back But in a beautiful dress And all the evangelicals were like "Oh, yes" "Oh, yes" Something's coming, so out of breath I just kept spinnin' and I danced myself to death (Something's coming, something's coming) Something's coming, so out of breath I just kept spinnin' and I danced myself to death (Something's coming, something's coming) Something's coming, so out of breath I just kept spinnin' and I danced myself to death (Something's coming, something's coming) Something's coming, so out of breath I just kept spinnin' and I danced myself to death (Something's coming, something's coming) Back in Town Never really been alive before I always lived in my head And sometimes it was easier Hungover and half-dead I'm back in town, why don't we go out Let the rats spin around our feet The full moon shines down on these dirty streets I'm back in town, why don't we go out To that ninth street diner And carry on slowly, torturing each other 'Cause it's always the same I came for the pleasure, but I stayed Yes, I stayed for the pain It's lit up like a movie scene That halogen glow And if you get spat on, that's just your big city baptism You're the star of the show I'm back in town, why don't we go out And never go to sleep? Throw our dreams out, let them pile up on the streets I thought that I was here with you But it was always just an empty room 'Cause it's always the same I came for the pleasure, but I stayed Yes, I stayed for the pain Girls Against God What a thing to admit That when someone looks at me with real love I don't like it very much Kinda makes me feel like I'm bein' crushed Is this something that you would like to discuss And it's good to be alive Crying into cereal at midnight If they ever let me out, I'm gonna really let it out I listen to music from 2006 and feel kind of sick But, oh God, you're gonna get it You'll be sorry that you messed with this Remember being in that basement with Tom Vek? Everyone treated us like little pets Oh, tell me it's not over yet And in my darkest fantasies I am the picture of passivity Waitin' for you side of stage Suppressing all my private rage But as my sister said, I'd probably last six days Oh, it's good to be alive Crying into cereal at midnight And if they ever let me out, I'm gonna really let it out When I decided to wage holy war It looked very much like staring at my bedroom floor But, oh God, you're gonna get it You'll be sorry that you messed with me And I know I may not look like much Just another screaming speck of dust But, oh God, you're gonna get it You'll be sorry that you messed with us (Oh God, you're gonna get it) But it's good to be alive Crying into cereal at midnight But, oh God, you're gonna get it You'll be sorry that you messed with us Oh God, you're gonna get it You'll be sorry that you messed with us (Oh God, you're gonna get it) Oh God, you're gonna get it You'll be sorry that you messed with me I met the Devil You know, he gave me a choice A golden heart Or a golden voice Dream Girl Evil Well, did you miss me Walk on water just to kiss me Oh, come and get me Drag me out, destroy me I've been expecting you, I'm ready Deliver me that bad news, baby Am I your dream girl You think of me in bed But you could never hold me And like me better in your head Make me evil Then I'm an angel instead At least you'll sanctify me when I'm dead Dream girl evil Dream girl еvil Dream girl evil Dream girl еvil Well, did I disappoint you Did mommy make you sad Do I just remind you Of every girl that made you mad Make me perfect, make me your fantasy You know I deserve it Well, take it out on me Am I your dream girl You think of me in bed But you could never hold me You like me better in your head Make me evil Then I'm an angel instead At least you'll sanctify me when I'm dead Dream girl evil Dream girl evil Dream girl evil Dream girl evil Watch me shimmer (Shimmer) A projection of your mother (Mother) But don't come cryin' (Cry) I am nobody's moral center (Center) It cannot hold It cannot hold It cannot hold It cannot hold It cannot hold It cannot hold It cannot hold It cannot hold It cannot hold (Dream girl) It cannot hold (Evil) It cannot hold (Dream girl) It cannot hold (Evil) It cannot hold (Dream girl) It cannot hold (Evil) It cannot hold (Dream girl) It cannot hold (Evil) Prayer Factory All the things that I ran from I now bring as close to me as I can Gripping hotel sheets with gritted teeth My montage of lost things My shining trinkets of grief Why don't you give me a call Open my mouth, yes, I'll take it all And all this work gone to waste You made me climb, then you shut the gate Cassandra I used to see the future and now I see nothin' They cut out my eyes and sent me home packin' To pace around the kitchen for scraps of inspiration Cryin' like Cassandra, I I used to tell the future, but they cut out my tongue And left me doin' laundry to think on what I'd done It wasn't me, it was the song I used to move into the future and bring it all back Let it bleed through my fingers, a treasure in my hands Now I creep out when there's no one about 'Cause they put crosses on the doors to try and keep me out The gardеn's overgrown And I run in the middle of thе road Well, can you see me I cannot see you Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view In this blindness I'm condemned to Well, can you hear me I cannot hear you Every song I thought I knew, I've been deafened to And there's no one left to sing to All the gods have been domesticated And Heaven is now overrated And the churches, they all closed their doors But you can take your complaints straight to the Lord I try to still look with wonder on the world As the roses bloom And the riot van still plainly in view Well, can you see me I cannot see you Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view In this blindness that I'm condemned to Well, can you hear me I cannot hear you Every song I thought I knew, I've been deafened to And there's no one left to sing to Take me back Oh, drunken gods of slaughter You know I've always been your favourite daughter Well, can you see me I cannot see you Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view And if I run fast enough Could I break apart As empires crumble and cathedrals flatten in my heart
Heaven Is Here Oh, bring your salt, bring your cigarette Draw me a circle and I'll protect Heaven is here if you want it Oh, bring your boy, bring your bottle Open your mouth, pour it down his neck Heaven is here if you want it And all of the fish, let 'em flounder I went to the water, drank every drop I'll turn your sea to a desert More catholic taste than the Devil All gilded and golden, yes, I'm your girl Hell, if it glitters, I'm going And I ride in my red dress And time stretchеs endless With my gun in my hand You know I always get my man And еvery song I wrote became an escape rope Tied around my neck to pull me up to Heaven
Daffodil I couldn't help it, yes, I let it get in The helpless optimism of spring Worn out and tired and my heart near retired And the world bent double from weeping And yet, the birds begin to sing Daffodil Daffodil I'm not bad, I'm not good I drank every sky that I could Made myself mythical, tried to be real Saw the future in the face of a Daffodil Daffodil Daffodil Daffodil We practice resurrection every night Raising the dead under the moonlight And in the gloaming, I start to cry You're a perfect pearl hung in the sky There is no bad, there is no good I drank all the blood that I could Made myself mythical, tried to be real Saw the future in the face of a Daffodil Daffodil Daffodil Daffodil English sun, she has come To kiss my face and tell me I'm that chosen one A generation soaked in grief We're drying out and hanging on by the skin of our teeth I never thought it would get this far This somewhat drunken joke Sometimes, I see so much beauty I don't think that I can cope There is no bad, there is no good I drank every sky that I could Made myself mythical, tried to be real Saw the future in the face of a Daffodil Daffodil Daffodil Daffodil
My Love I was always able to write my way out The song always made sense to me Now I find that when I look down Every page is empty There is nothing to describe Except the moon still bright against the worrying sky I pray the trees will get their leaves soon So tell me where to put my love Do I wait for time to do what it does I don't know where to put my love And when it came, it was stranger than I had ever imagined No cracking open up Heaven But quiеt and still (All my friends are getting ill) So tеll me where to put my love Do I wait for time to do what it does I don't know where to put my love So tell me where to put my love Do I wait for time to do what it does I don't know where to put my love My arms emptied, the skies emptied The billboards emptied My arms emptied, the skies emptied The buildings emptied So tell me where to put my love Do I wait for time to do what it does I don't know where to put my love So tell me where to put my love Do I wait for time to do what it does I don't know where to put my love My arms emptied, the skies emptied The billboards emptied My arms emptied, the skies emptied The buildings emptied

Mermaids (Complete Edition Bonus Track) I thought that I was hungry for blood Maybe I'm just hungry for love Tear from a woman on the shore You prairie ghost on a cottage hall Oh the mermaids have sharp teeth Razor blades all in your feet England is only ever grey or green The girls glitter striding glorious and coatless in the rain I remember falling through these streets Somewhat out of place, if not for the drunkenness It makes my chest hurt to think of it Not of regret, but of missing that Cheerful oblivion Cheerful oblivion It was not all pain and pavement slick with rain And shining under lights from shitty clubs and doing shitty drugs And hugging girls that smelled like Britney Spears and coconuts And with your mermaid hair and your teeth so sharp You crawled from the sea to break that sailor's heart You only get one night up on the shore So dance like you've never danced before And the dance floor is filling up with blood But, oh Lord, you've never been so in love Cheerful oblivion Cheerful oblivion Cheerful oblivion And mermaids, they come once a year They climb the struts of Brighton Pier They come to drink, they come to dance To sacrifice a human heart And the world is so much wilder than you think You haven't seen nothing 'til you seen an English girl drink Cheerful oblivion Cheerful oblivion Cheerful oblivion Cheerful oblivion Cheerful oblivion

Are you hurting the one you love
( Demo and Live ) Are you hurting the one you love You say you've found Heaven but you can't find God Are you hurting the one you love Bite your tongue till it tastes like blood Are you hurting the one you love So many glasses on the tabletop Are you hurting the one you love You'd like to stay in heaven but the rules are too tough Tough, It's just too tough. Tough, It's just too tough Are you hurting the one you love When they watched the walls and the ticking clock Are you hurting the one you love And was it something you could not stop Could not stop Stop Could not stop Stop Could not stop Stop Could not stop Stop Could not stop Are you hurting the one you love * Leave them sleeping in the middle of the floor Are you hurting the one you love And watch the water fall Are you hurting the one you love And if heaven knows then who else does Are you hurting the one you love You said you got to heaven, but it wasn't enough I could not stop Stop I could not stop Stop I could not stop Stop I could not stop Oh stop I could not stop
* On the demo, Florence admitted she just mumbled a slur of words that rhymed as she was recording it On the live song now the lyrics are the one below
Bird Song Well I didn't tell anyone But a bird flew by, saw what I had done He set up a nest outside And he sang about what I'd become He sang so loud, sang so clear I was afraid all the neighbours would hear So I invited him in just to reason with him I promised I wouldn't do it again But he sang louder and louder inside the house And now I couldn't get him out So I trapped him under a cardboard box Stood on it to make him stop I picked up the bird, and above the din I said, "that's the last song you'll ever sing" Held him down, broke his neck Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget But in my dreams Began to creep That old familiar "Tweet, tweet, tweet" I opened my mouth to scream and shout I waved my arms and flapped about But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout I opened my mouth to scream and shout I waved my arms and flapped about But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout The song was coming from my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth...
Breath Of Life ( Snow White And The Huntsman OST ) I was looking for a breath of life For a little touch of heavenly light But all the choirs in my head say, no, oh oh To get a dream of life again A little vision of the sight at the end But all the choirs in my head say, no, oh oh But I would need one more touch Another taste of heavenly rush And I believe, I believe it so, oh oh oh And I would need one more touch Another taste of divine rush And I believe, I believe it so, oh oh oh Whose side am I on Whose side am I Whose side am I on Whose side am I And the feel of it rushes through me From my heart down to my legs But the room is so quiet, oh oh oh And although I was losing my mind It was a call that was so sublime But the room is so quiet, oh oh oh I was looking for a breath of life A little touch of heavenly light But all the choirs in my head say, no, oh oh Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin To get a dream of life again A little vision of the sight at the end But all the choirs in my head say, no, oh oh It's a long way and it's come from paper And I always say, we should be together I can see the look, because this song has ended And if you are gone, I will not be long (Be long, be long, be long) And I started to hear it again But this time it wasn't you And the room is so quiet, oh oh oh And my heart is the heart of a life For the devil to dance again And the room is too quiet I was looking for the breath of a life A little touch of a heavenly life But all the choirs in my head say no, oh oh

Falling
( Lungs Deluxe edition ) I've fallen out of favor and I've fallen from grace Fallen out of trees and I've fallen on my face Fallen out of taxis, out of windows too Fell in your opinion when I fell in love with you Sometimes I wish for falling, wish for the release Wish for falling through the air to give me some relief Because falling's not the problem, when I'm falling I'm at peace It's only when I hit the ground it causes all the grief This is a song for a scribbled-down name And my love keeps writing again and again This is a song for a scribbled-down name And my love keeps writing again and again And again and again and again and again And again and again and again and again And again and again and again and again And again and again and again and again I dance with myself, I drunk myself down Found people to love, left people to drown I'm not scared to jump, I'm not scared to fall If there was nowhere to land I wouldn't be scared at all At all At all Fall Fall Sometimes I wish for falling, wish for the release Wish for falling through the air to give me some relief Because falling's not the problem, when I'm falling I'm at peace It's only when I hit the ground it causes all the grief
Flakes ( Mystery Jets cover / Lungs Limited edition ) This song Is one I never thought that I'd play But if you want me gone There are kinder ways to say So long than spitting in my face They don't teach these things at school They just lay down the rules which are there for you to break Which are there for you to break If I'm wrong Then dust me off and put me in my place Drop a bomb Shall you blow me away without even a trace I'll be gone and I won't give chase 'Cause when you're in pieces, You pick up the bits, and nothing fits And the wind blows you away And the wind blows you away And the wind blows you away And the wind blows you away I pray There will come a day when I think of you and I smile These days Everything seems to last only a while Remember the names For the day when we'd have a child But the trouble with dreams They're not what they seem, 'cause when you awake They fall through your fingers in flakes They fall through your fingers in flakes They fall through your fingers in flakes They fall through your fingers in flakes

Haunted House (Moderation EP) My heart is like a haunted house There's things in there that scratch about They make their music in the night And in the day they give me such a fright My heart is like a haunted house There's things in there that scream and shout They make their music in the night Wish I could find a way to let them out, oh Do you remember winding your arm around my shoulder As we wandered 'round the hill Now I'm in that fog forever In full collaboration with the weather 'cause I'm not free at all I'm not free at all I'm not free at all I'm not free at all I'm not free at all I'm not free at all I'm not free at all I'm not free at My heart is like a haunted house There's things in there that scratch about They make their music in the night And in the day they give me such a fright
Heavy in Your Arms
( Twilight Eclipse Soundtrack ) I was a heavy heart to carry My beloved was weighed down My arms around his neck My fingers laced a crown I was a heavy heart to carry My feet dragged across the ground And he took me to the river Where he slowly let me drown My love has concrete feet, my love's an iron ball Wrapped around your ankles, over the waterfall I'm so heavy, heavy Heavy in your arms I'm so heavy, heavy Heavy in your arms And is it worth the wait, All this killing time Are you strong enough to stand Protecting both your heart and mine Who is the betrayer Who's the killer in the crowd The one who creeps in corridors And doesn't make a sound My love has concrete feet, my love is an iron ball Wrapped around your ankles, over the waterfall My love has concrete feet, my love is an iron ball Wrapped around your ankles, over the waterfall I'm so heavy, heavy Heavy in your arms I'm so heavy, heavy So heavy in your arms This will be my last confession "I love you" never felt like any blessing Whisper it like it's a secret Uttered to condemn the one who hears it With a heavy heart Heavy. Heavy. Heavy. I'm so heavy in your arms (I'm so heavy) Heavy, heavy. I'm so heavy in your arms (I'm so heavy) Heavy, heavy. I'm so heavy in your arms (I'm so heavy) Heavy, heavy. I'm so heavy in your arms I was a heavy heart to carry My beloved was weighed down My arms around his neck My fingers laced a crown I was a heavy heart to carry But he never let me down When he held me in his arms My feet never touched the ground I'm so heavy Heavy in your arms Heavy I'm so heavy in your arms
Here Lies Love ( David Byrne & Fatboy Slim Feat. Florence Welch ) When I was a young girl in Leyte My dresses were all hand-me-downs and scrubs I’d see the people smile, and I would sing for them How happy they all seemed when I would dance We lived a stone’s throw from the palace A simple country girl who had a dream Ladies passing by of better class than I How much it meant to me To be like these Is it a sin to love too much? Is it a sin to care? I’d do it all for you How can it be unfair? I know that when my number’s up When I am called by God above Don’t have my name inscribed into the stone Just say, "Here lies love!" "Here lies love!" Here lies love!" Just say, "Here lies love!" "Here lies love!" Here lies love!" The most important things are love and beauty It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor To prosper and to fly A basic human right The feeling in your heart that you’re secure Is it a sin to love too much? Is it a sin to care? I’d do it all for you How can it be unfair? I know that when my number’s up When I am called by God above Don’t have my name inscribed into the stone Just say, "Here lies love!" "Here lies love!" Here lies love!" Just say, "Here lies love!" "Here lies love!" Here lies love!" I know that when my number’s up When I am called by God above Don’t have my name inscribed into the stone Just say, "Here lies love!" "Here lies love!" Here lies love!" Just say, "Here lies love!" "Here lies love!" Here lies love!"

Swimming ( Lungs Limited Edition Version ) Your songs remind me of swimming Which I forgot when I started to sink Dragged further away from the shore And deeper into the drink Sat on the bottom of the ocean A stern and stubborn rock ‘Cause your songs remind me of swimming But somehow I forgot I was sinking and now I'm sunk I was drinking and now I'm drunk Your songs remind me of swimming But somehow I forgot I tried to remember the chorus I can't remember the verse ‘Cause that song that sent me swimming Is now the life jacket that burst Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor Sinking like a siren that can't swim anymore Your songs remind me of swimming But I can't swim anymore Pull me out the water, cold and blue I open my eyes and see that it's you So I dive straight back in the ocean So I dive straight back in the ocean. Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest Cross my fingers and hope for the best Then all of a sudden, I heard a note It started in my chest and ended in my throat Then I realized, then I realized Then I realized I was swimming Yes I was swimming And now I'm swimming Yes I am swimming. Your songs remind me of swimming Which I forgot when I started to sink Your songs remind me of swimming Which I forgot when I started to sink Oh, your songs remind me of swimming Which I forgot when I started Your songs remind me of swimming Which I forgot when I started To sink

Throwing Bricks

Wish That You Were Here (Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children OST) I've tried to leave it all behind me But I woke up and there they were beside me And I don't believe it but I guess it's true Some feelings, they can travel too Oh there it is again, sitting on my chest Makes it hard to catch my breath I scramble for the light to change You're always on my mind You're always on my mind And I never minded being on my own Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home To be where you are But even closer to you, you seem so very far And now I'm reaching out with every note I sing And I hope it gets to you on some pacific wind Wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear Tells you that I miss you and I wish that you were here And if I stay home, I don't know There'll be so much that I'll have to let go You're disappearing all the time But I still see you in the light For you, the shadows fight And it's beautiful but there's that tug in the sight I must stop time traveling, you're always on my mind You're always on my mind You're always on my mind And I never minded being on my own Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home To be where you are But even closer to you, you seem so very far And now I'm reaching out with every note I sing And I hope it gets to you on some pacific wind Wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear Tells you that I miss you and I wish that you were here We all need something watching over us Be it the falcons, the clouds or the crows And then the sea swept in and left us all speechless Speechless And I never minded being on my own Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home To be where you are But even closer to you, you seem so very far And now I'm reaching out with every note I sing And I hope it gets to you on some pacific wind Wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear Tells you that I miss you and I wish that you were here Wish that you were here Wish that you were here Wish that you were here I wish that you
Ye Olde Hope ( A.k.a Tear out your tongue ) Old hope, got stuck in your throat Wound its way round your neck, and caused you to choke That old hope, made of rope, Held you tight as the chair legs broke When they found you hanging in the wood You said, "At least, now, I don't have to be kind or good, I'll be cruel, and I'll be obscene, Tear out my tongue, ‘cause I've been redeemed" When they found you hanging in the wood You said, "At least, now, I don't have to be kind or good, I'll be cruel, and I'll be obscene, Tear out my tongue, ‘cause I've been redeemed" Save my blushes for the grave, No shy glance, no coy restraint, And I won't hang my head, and I won't repent, Won't face the wall and count to ten Five, six, seven, eight, nine... ten Well they tore you down, and they tore out your tongue, And they made you kneel for all the things that you done But you wouldn't cry, and you wouldn't beg, You just grinned, and tore out your teeth instead And when they found you hanging in the wood You said, "At least, now, I don't have to be kind or good, I'll be cruel, and I'll be obscene, Tear out my tongue, ‘cause I've been redeemed"
You Got The Dirtee Love ( Dizzee Rascal ft Florence ) Everybody wants to be famous, Nobody wants to be nameless, aimless, People act shameless Tryna live like entertainers, Want a fat crib with the acres, So they spend money that they ain’t made yet, Got a benz on tik that they ain’t paid yet, Spend their pay cheque In the west end on the weekend Got no money by the end of the weekend. But they don’t care cos their life is a movie, Starring Louis V, paid for by yours truly, Truthfully, it’s a joke, like a bad episode of hollyoaks Can’t keep up with the cover notes, So they got bad credit livin’ on direct debit, In debt but they still don’t get Cos they too busy livin’ the high life, the night life Huggin’ the high way, livin’ large And they all say Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough And things go wrong no matter what I do That’s right Now and then it seems that life is just too much But you've got the love I need to see me through Check it, yo Let me take you down to London city Where the attitudes bad and the weather is shitty Everybody’s on the paper chase, its one big rat race Everybody got a screw face So many too fake Checking the height, they say they ready to ride I’m on the inside looking at the outside So it’s a accurate reflection City wide north east west and the south side Everywhere I go there’s a girl on the corner Guns and drugs got the city like a sauna, And it’s getting warmer and out of order Trying to put a struggling mother to a morner Mr politician can you tell me the solution What’s the answer what’s the conclusion Is it an illusion, is it a mirage. I see youngers dieing coz their tryna live large’’ And they all say Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air I know I can count on you Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord I just don't care" But you've got the love I need to see me through You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love Check it, yo We are living in the days of the credit crunch Give me the doh I’m trying have a bunch But I can’t have rice for lunch It’s not there ain’t enough to share Ain’t fair never dreamed that he could be rare Who cares who dares to make a change Everybody in the club trying to make it rain But not for famine just for the sake of habit 15 minutes of fame and everything’s the same Again and again I see the same thing Everybody acting like they their plane sailin’ I see rough seas ahead maybe a recession And then a depression in whatever profession This is my confession I can’t fight I’m in the forefront Living for money ready to start like a bungee jump With no rope but I ain’t trying to see the bottom Because that’s were I came from, I ain’t forgotten You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air I know I can count on you Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord I just don't care" But you've got the love I need to see me through
