What I'm listening to: Florence + the Machine

I am loving Florence And The Machine's album "Lungs". It won the Brit awards, best British album of 2010. I especially love the song "Dog Days Are Over". This album is something a little different. It's a little bad-ass mixed with a soft feminine edge. It has some really well written, evocative, and powerful lyrics. I highly recommend it. Check it out and see for yourself! http://florenceandthemachine.net/

DOG DAYS ARE OVER

Happiness hit her like a train on a track

Coming towards her stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds

She killed it with kisses and from it she fled

With every bubble she sank with a drink

And washed it away down the kitchen sink.

The dog days are over

The dog days are done
The horses are comin' so you better run

Run fast for your mother; run fast for your father
Run for your children all your sisters and brothers

Leave all your love and your longing behind.

You can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

Can you hear the horses

'Cos here they come

And I never wanted anything from you

Except everything you had

And what was left after that too

Oh! Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back

Struck from a great height

By someone who should have known better than that

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

Can you hear the horses

'Cos here they come

Run fast for your mother run fast for your father

Run for your children all your sisters and brothers

Leave all your love and your longing behind

You can't carry it with you if you want to survive
