Florence Welch
Franky Boy
I can't white for shit these days
It seems I'm slowing
I was knocked out by a fucked up day
And I'm nowhere going
My head hurts and a flash back flirts with
A numbing feeling
That life ain't taken happy away so it's time it's stealing
So I rock back
And rack up my balls to break my reeling
Coded
I'm stuck till I'm dead so death is healing
I've been in a terrible state of introspection
Locked inside the shell of myself by life's deception

It takes time to develop a life you like
Statistics will lie
Finding a balance will shed a new light on
The greatest of lies:
Existing for nothing but kissing and hugging?
Could be that you're a pilling and fucking!
Could be that you're digging a hole for the brother
Who never could handle his function!

From farcical fiends and set backs
To magical dreams and jet packs
We're splitting the seams and wandering free of
The feeling we're nothing but hard facts
Flesh, bones, blood and sinew
We'll all continue
To rumble and rage and shatter the cage that we're all born intro
So take time to be nice
And live life to the full
Sometimes it's hard life and sometimes it's cool
Be strong it's not long before my friends you'll see
That power is the mind and knowledge is the key

I've made mistakes but none of them paid for
I've got karma running after me paybacks that I'm late for
I'm far from harmony and I know that I'd be grateful
If someone harder that me
Would shake the hurt out of me
Would tell me how life should be
But no one's up for the task
They know that kids of today are growing up too fast
They know the theory on play is bolting up the past
With all the things that they've seen
And all the broken dreams
It's harder to think that breathe!

So what do you think that we do?
We trouble and manage a moment to hold up and
Think it through
With the old adage of having had no love or luck to boot
Some of the peeps on this planet are gold dust and
Honey dew
No thanks to you...

So take time to be nice
And live life to the full
Sometimes it1s hard life and sometimes it's cool
Be strong it's not long before my friends you'll see
That power is the mind and knowledge is the key

I deliberately rolled up with my face on
Perception's the power that be
But I prove my point with my patience
I'm fickle for vanity
And I've found a voice for the vacant
Part of my mentality
When I tell you I don't give a fuck if I see you eyeing me!
I'm not telling you how you should be
I'm telling you strictly that there's more to this life than you see
The book and the cover
Uncover and hear how reality breathers
Simplistically rhythmic
It's rhythm encrypted
No beat is a misfit

So take time to be nice
And live life to the full
Sometimes it's hard life and sometimes it's cool
Be strong it's not long before my friends you'll see
That power is the mind and knowledge is the key
Be strong it's not long before my friends you'll see
That power is the mind and knowledge is the key...
