FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE

How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful LYRICS 
Florence and the Machine

Between a crucifix and the Hollywood sign, we decided to get hurt
Now there’s a few things we have to burn
Set our hearts ablaze, and every city was a gift
And every skyline was like a kiss upon the lips
And I was making you a wish
In every skyline

[Chorus]
How big, how blue, how beautiful
How big, how blue, how beautiful

[Verse 2]
And meanwhile a man was falling from space
And every day I wore your face
Like an atmosphere around me
The satellite beside me

And meanwhile a man was falling from space
As he hit the earth I left this place
Let the atmosphere surround me
The satellite beside me

[Pre-Chorus]
What are we gonna do?
We've opened the door, now it's all coming through
Tell me you see it too
We opened our eyes and it's changing the view
Oh, what are we gonna do?
We opened the door now, it's all coming through

[Chorus]
How big, how blue, how (beautiful)
How big, how blue, how (beautiful)

[Verse 1 & 2 - Variation]
And every city was a gift
And every skyline was like a kiss upon the lips
And I was making you a wish
In every skyline

And meanwhile a man was falling from space
And every day I wore your face
Like an atmosphere around me
I'm happy you're beside me

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]
How big, how blue, how beautiful
How big, how blue, how beautiful
How big, how blue, how...

[Outro]
So much time on the other side
Waiting for you to wake up
So much time on the other side
Waiting for you to wake up
Maybe I'll see you in another life
If this one wasn't enough
So much time on the other side

[Chorus]
How big, how blue, how beautiful
How big, how blue, how...

Ship to Wreck LYRICS 
Florence and the Machine


Don't touch the sleeping pills, they mess with my head
Dredging up great white sharks, swimming in the bed
And here comes a killer whale, to sing me to sleep
Thrashing the covers off, has me by its teeth

[Pre-Chorus]
And, ah, 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, ah, my love remind me, what was it that I did?
Did I drink too much? Am I losing touch?
Did I build a ship to wreck?

[Chorus]
To wreck, to wreck, to wreck
Did I build this ship to wreck?

[Verse 2]
What's with the long face? Do you want more?
Thousands of red-eyed mice, scratching at the door
And 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

[Pre-Chorus] + [Chorus]

[Bridge]
Good God, under starless skies
We are lost, and into the breach, we got tossed

And the world is coming in fast

What Kind of Man LYRICS 
Florence and the Machine


I was on a heavy tip
Try'na cross a canyon with a broken limb
You were on the other side, like always
Wondering what to do with life

[Verse 2]
I'd already had a sip
So I'd reasoned I was drunk enough to deal with it
You were on the other side, like always
You could never make your mind

[Pre-Chorus]
And with one kiss
You inspired a fire of devotion that lasts for twenty years
What kind of man loves like this?

[Verse 3]
To let me dangle at a cruel angle
Oh, my feet don't touch the floor
Sometimes you're half in and then you're half out
But you never close the door

[Chorus]
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?

[Verse 4]
You're a holy fool, all coloured blue
Red feet upon the floor
You do such damage, how do you manage?
To have me crawling back for more

[Pre-Chorus] + [Chorus]

[Verse 5]
But I can't beat ya, cause I'm still with ya
"Oh mercy," I implore ("Oh mercy," I implore)
How do you do it? I think I'm through it

Then I'm back against the wall
