Florence and The Machine - My Boy Builds Coffins(2011)

[00:26.96] My boy builds coffins with hammers and nails
[00:30.30] He doesn't build ships, he has no use for sails
[00:34.67] He doesn't make tables, dressers or chairs
[00:38.39] He can't carve a whistle 'cause he just doesn't care
[00:42.41] My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor
[00:46.37] Kings and queens, they've all knocked on his door
[00:50.30] Beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves
[00:54.05] They all come to him 'cause he's so eager to please
[00:58.14] My boy builds coffins, he makes them all day
[01:01.65] But it's not just for work and it isn't for play
[01:05.57] He's made one for himself, one for me too
[01:09.87] One of these days he'll make one for you
[01:17.45] For you, for you, for you
[01:29.77] My boy builds coffins for better or worse
[01:33.37] Some say it's a blessing, some say it's a curse
[01:37.68] He fits them together in sunshine or rain
[01:41.23] Each one is unique, no two are the same
[01:45.43] My boy builds coffins and I think it's a shame
[01:48.98] That, when each one's been made, he can't see it again
[01:52.86] He crafts every one with love and with care
[01:56.92] Then it's thrown in the ground, it just isn't fair
[02:01.17] My boy builds coffins, he makes them all day
[02:04.52] But it's not just for work and it isn't for play
[02:08.46] He's made one for himself, one for me too
[02:13.00] And one of these days he'll make one for you
[02:20.27] For you, for you, for you
[02:29.03]
