Marina and the Diamonds – Mowgli's Road Lyrics 14 years ago
the lyrics are;

Cuckoo! x 2

Ten silver spoons coming after me,
One life with one dream on repeat,
I'll escape if I try hard enough,
Till, King of the Jungle calls my bluff,

Oh Lord, (Oh Lord)
I have been told, (Have been told)
I must take the unforsaken road (Forsaken road)
There's a fork in the road,
I'll do as as I am told,
I don't know,(Don't know don't know don't know don't know)
Who I want to be.

Cuckoo!

You say Y-E-S to everything,
Will that guarantee you a win?
Do you think you will be good enough,
To love others and to be loved?

Oh Lord, (Oh Lord)
Now I can see, (Now I can see)
The cutlery will keep on chasing me, (Forsaken road)
There's a fork in the road,
I'll do as as I am told,
I don't know, (Don't know don't know don't know don't know)
Who I want to be.

We are the spoons, THEY'RE TELLING ME
We scoop our way into your dreams,
To knock the knives out bloody cold, [as in to knock them out.. punch them!]
And lead you down the unforsaken road.

There's a fork in the road,
I'll do as as I am told,
I don't know, (Don't know don't know don't know don't know)
Who I want to be.

Florence + the Machine – Are You Hurting the One You Love? Lyrics 15 years ago
I got the lyrics as;

Are you hurting the one you love?
When you're safe from 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?
When you leave them screaming on the hollow ground.
Are you hurting the one you love?
And lost for themselves.

Are you hurting the one you love?
And if heaven knows then who will stop.
Are you hurting the one you love?
You said you got to heaven, but it wasn't enough.


I'm not a hundred percent sure about the 'leave them screaming on the hollow ground' section. she sings really quietly on the part!

Florence + the Machine – Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) Lyrics 15 years ago
yeah, it's baisically about how being in the music industry you have to be brave. and it's about her becoming brave. offering herself up to the industry because she has a gift, and has to use it, but she understands that she's going to have to change to survive that industry.

did you buy the album off of eBay or something?

submissions
Florence + the Machine – Hurricane Drunk Lyrics 15 years ago
i think this song is pretty much about self harm/self destruction by means of drinking after a bad relationship.
she's baisically saying she is going to drink away her problems, and she doesnt want or need help because she's 'in the grip of a hurricane'.

I think it may be 'they come from in my lungs'

as she is singing/talking about them. they're metaphorical, not real.

Florence + the Machine – Ghosts Lyrics 15 years ago
I have a totally different version I think mine could be the updated one?;

I'm not calling you a liar,
Just don't lie to me,
I'm not calling you a theif,
Just don't steal from me,
I'm not calling you a ghost,
Just stop haunting me.
And I love you so much,
that i'm gonna let you kill me.

Don't tell me what you've done,
Don't tell me what you've done,
Don't tell me what you've done.

Don't tell me what you've done,
Don't tell me what you've done,
Don't tell me what you've done.

I'm too tired to fight,
I'm just gonna lay right here.
But i'm too angry to sleep,
Without you near.

I'm not at home with myself,
But i'm not at home with you either.
I'm too scared to leave.
But I never seem safe here.

There's a ghost in my lungs
And it talks in my sleep,
Wraps itself around my chest as it softly sleeps
Then it walks with my legs, with my legs,
To fall at your feet.

There's a ghost in my lungs
And it talks in my sleep,
Wraps itself around my chest as it softly sleeps
Then it walks with my legs, with my legs,
To fall at your feet.

Don't tell me what you've done
Don't tell me what you've done
Don't tell me what you've done

Don't tell me what you've done,
Don't tell me what you've done,
Don't tell me what you've done.

I'm not calling you a liar
Just dont lie to me
And I love you so much
I'm gonna let you kill me.


I think the above version is the original 'Don't Tell Me..'

Florence + the Machine – Howl Lyrics 15 years ago
'it seems you've SET it running free'

'DRAG my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart'

'my fingers CLAW your skin..'

'you are the moon that BREAKS the night for which i have to howl..'

'now there's no rolling back, i'm READY to attack'

'i hunt for you with DIRTY feet..'

and that's as much as i can correct. i'm not sure about the 'beast howls in my bed' part. i think it could be 'howls in my brain/place' but i'm not suree.

'be careful of the curse that FALLS on young lovers..'

Florence + the Machine – Blinding Lyrics 15 years ago
okaay, it's;

'no more calling like a crow for a boy for a body in the garden'

and i think it might just be;
'no more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love'

'cause all the worlds were dreaming, they were torn right open'

and as for the 'someone's switching of the circuitboards' i have NO idea what she says there, though i'm not sure whether what you put is right or not..

but i do know it's 'slipping through the hidden dark' on the second line.
to me it sounds like she says 'Snow white's ...'

well, we'll soon know when the album is released! :)

Florence + the Machine – Bird Song Accapella Lyrics 15 years ago
just a small change :)

it's 'a bird flew by, and saw what i'd done. it set up a nest outside...'

i love this song though! i saw a live performance of this where she explained what it was about and then said 'so that's why you should never eat chicken' LOL. bless her!
