Florence And The Machine – Stand By Me

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No I won’t be afraid
No I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won’t cry, I won’t cry
No I won’t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me

Oh, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you’re in trouble won’t you stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Darling, darling stand by me
Stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Florence And The Machine lyrics

Florence And The Machine – Ship To Wreck

Don’t touch the sleeping pills, they mess with my head,
Dredging the Great White Sharks, swimming in the bed,
And here comes a Killer Whale, to sing me to sleep,
Thrashing the covers off, it has me by its teeth.

And oh my love remind me, what was it that I said?
I can’t help but pull the earth around me, to make my bed
And oh my love remind me, what was it that I did?
Did I drink too much?
Am I losing touch?
Did I build this ship to wreck?

To wreck, to wreck, to wreck,
Did I build this ship to wreck?

What’s with the long face? Do you want more?
Thousands of red-eyed mice, scratching at the door,
Don’t let the curtain catch you, cause you’ve been here before,
The chair is an island darling, you can’t touch the floor,

And oh my love remind me, what was it that I said?
I can’t help but pull the earth around me, to make my bed
And oh my love remind me, what was it that I did?
Did I drink too much?
Am I losing touch?
Did I build this ship to wreck?

To wreck, to wreck, to wreck,
Did I build this ship to wreck?

Ooh-ooh ohh, ooh-ooh ohh, ooh-ooh ohh
Ooh-ooh ohh, ooh-ooh ohh, ooh-ooh ohh

Good God, under starless skies we are lost,
And into the breach we got tossed,
And the water’s coming in fast!

And oh my love remind me, what was it that I said?
I can’t help but pull the earth around me, to make my bed
And oh my love remind me, what was it that I did?
Did I drink too much?
Am I losing touch?
Did I build this ship to wreck?

To wreck, to wreck, to wreck,
Did I build this ship to wreck?

To wreck, to wreck, to wreck,
Did I build this ship to wreck?

Florence And The Machine lyrics

Florence And The Machine – Spectrum (Say My Name)

When we first came here
We were cold and we were clear
With no colors in our skin
We were light and paper thin

And when we first came here
we were cold and we were clear
With no colors in our skin
‘Til we let the spectrum in

Say my name
And every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

And when we come for you
We’ll be dressed up all in blue
With the ocean in our arms
Kiss your eyes and kiss your palms

And when it’s time to pray
We’ll be dressed up all in grey
With metal on our tongues
And silver in our lungs

Say my name
And every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

And when we come back we’ll be dressed in black
And you’ll scream my name aloud
And we won’t eat and we won’t sleep
We’ll drag bodies from a ground

So say my name
And every color illuminates
And we are shining
And we’ll never be afraid again

Say my name
As every color illuminates

Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

Say my name
We are shining
Say my name
Say my name
And we will never be afraid again

Florence And The Machine lyrics

Florence And The Machine – Queen Of Peace

Oh, the king
Gone mad within his suffering
Called out for relief
Someone cure him of his grief

His only son
Cut down, but the battle won
Oh, what is it worth
When all that’s left is hurt?

Like the stars chase the sun
Over the glowing hill, I will conquer
Blood is running deep
Some things never sleep

Suddenly I’m overcome
Dissolving like the setting sun
Like a boat into oblivion
Cause you’re driving me away
Now you have me on the run
The damage is already done
Come on, is this what you want?
Cause you’re driving me away

Oh, the queen of peace
Always does her best to please
Is it any use?
Somebody’s gotta lose

Like a long scream
Out there, always echoing
Oh, what is it worth?
All that’s left is hurt

Like the stars chase the sun
Over the glowing hill, I will conquer
Blood is running deep
Some things never sleep

Suddenly I’m overcome
Dissolving like the setting sun
Like a boat into oblivion
Cause you’re driving me away
Now you have me on the run
The damage is already done
Come on, is this what you want?
Cause you’re driving me away

And my love is no good
Against the fortress that it made of you
Blood is running deep
Sorrow that you keep

Suddenly I’m overcome
Dissolving like the setting sun
Like a boat into oblivion
Cause you’re driving me away
Now you have me on the run
The damage is already done
Come on, is this what you want?
Cause you’re driving me away
