High in the halls of the kings who are gone
Jenny would dance with her ghosts
The ones she had lost and the ones she had found
And the ones who had loved her the most
The ones whod been gone for so very long
She couldnt remember their names
They spun her around on the damp old stone
Spun away all her sorrow and pain
An... |
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... |
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
At seventeen I started to starve myself
I thought that love was a kind of emptiness
And at least I understood then the hunger I felt
And I didnt have to call it loneliness
We all have a hunger
We all have a h... |
Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
Its always darkest before the dawn
And Ive been a fool and Ive b... |
Drifting through the halls with the sunrise
Climbing up the walls for that flashing light
Cause Im gonna be free and Im gonna be fine
Cause Im gonna be free and Im gonna be fine
Now the sun is up and Im going blind
Another drink just to pass the time
Cause Im gonna be free and Im gonna be fine
Cause Im gonna be free an... |
How deeply are you sleeping or are you still awake?
A good friend told me youve been staying out so late
Be careful, oh, my darling, oh, be careful what it takes
From what Ive seen so far, the good ones always seem to break
And I was screaming at my father and you were screaming at me
And I can feel your anger from way... |
You need a big god
Big enough to hold your love
You need a big god
Big enough to fill you up
You keep me up at night
To my messages, you do not reply
You know I still like you the most
The best of the best and the worst of the worst
Well, you can never know
The places that I go
I still like you the most
Youll always be... |
Looking up from underneath
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me
As before I went under
And its peaceful in the deep
Cathedral where you cannot breathe
No need to pray, no need to speak
Now I am under all
And its breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to res... |
A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them
And now its left me blind
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, Im always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tri... |
I tried to leave it all behind me
But I woke up and there they were beside me
And I dont believe it but I guess its true
Some feelings, they can travel too
Oh there it is again, sitting on my chest
Makes it hard to catch my breath
I scramble for the light of change
Youre always on my mind
Youre always on my mind
And I ... |
Oh Patricia, youve always been my North Star
And I have to tell you something
Im still afraid of the dark
But you take my hand in your hand
From you the flowers grow
And do you understand with every seed you sow
You make this cold world beautiful?
You told me all doors are open to the believer
I believe her, I believe ... |
I was on a heavy tip
Trying to cross a canyon with a broken limb
You were on the other side, like always
Wondering what to do with life
Id already had a sip
So I reasoned I was drunk enough to deal with it
You were on the other side, like always
You could never make your mind
And with one kiss
You inspired a fire of de... |
I feel nervous in a way that cant be named
I dreamt last night of a sign that read The end of love
And I remember thinking
Even in my dreaming
It was a good line for a song
We were a family pulled from the flood
You tore the floorboards up
And let the river rush in
Not wash away, wash away
We were reaching in the dark

Dont touch the sleeping pills, they mess with my head
Dredging up great white sharks, swimming in the bed
Here comes a killer whale, to sing me to sleep
Thrashing the covers off, has me by its teeth
And, oh, my love remind me, what was it that I said?
I cant help but pull the earth around me to make my bed
And, oh, my ... |
Holy water cannot help you now
Thousand armies couldnt keep me out
I dont want your money
I dont want your crown
See, Ive come to burn your kingdom down
Holy water cannot help you now
See, Ive come to burn your kingdom down
And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out
Im gonna raise the stakes
Im gonna smoke you out... |
Oh, the king
Gone mad within his suffering
Called out for release
Someone cure him of his grief
His only son
Cut down, but the battle won
Oh, what is it worth
When all thats 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 Im overcom... |
I believe in you
And in our hearts we know the truth
And I believe in love
And the darker it gets, the more I do
Try and fill us with your hate and we will shine a light
And the days will become endless
And never, and never turn to night
And never, and never turn to night
Then its just too much
I cannot get you close e... |
The show was ending and I had started to crack
Woke up in Chicago when the sky turned black
And youre so high, youre so high, you have to be an angel
And Im so high, Im so high, I can see an angel
I hear your heart beating in your chest
The world slows till theres nothing left
Skyscrapers look on like great, unblinking... |
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
How big, how blue, how beautiful
How big, how blue, how beautiful
And m... |
Sometimes, I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes, I feel like saying, Lord, I just dont care
But youve got the love I need to see me through
Sometimes, it seems the going is just too rough
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Now and then, it seems that life is just too much... |
Im sorry I ruined your birthday
I guess I could go back to university
Try and make my mother proud
Stop this phase Im in, she deems dangerous and loud
The spelling is a problem
As is the discipline
And I dont think it would be too long
Before I was drunk in Camberwell again
This is the only thing Ive ever had any faith... |
When I go home alone
I drive past the place where I was born
And the places that I used to drink
Young and drunk and stumbling in the street
Outside the Joiners Arms like foals unsteady on their feet
With the art students and the boys in bands
High on E and holding hands with someone that I just met
I thought, It doesn... |
That original lifeline
Original lifeline
That original lifeline
Hey, look up
Dont make a shadow of yourself
Always shutting out the light
Caught in your own creation
Look up, look up
It tore you open
And oh, how much?
Cause theres a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye
And though my touch, it m... |
Ever since I was a child
Ive turned it over in my mind
I sang by the piano
Tore my yellow dress and
Cried and cried and cried
Now to unsee what Ive seen
To undo what has been done
Turn off all the lights
Let the morning come, come
Now theres green light in my eyes
And my lover on my mind
And I sing from the piano
Tear ... |
And the air was full
Of various storms and saints
Parading in the streets
As the banks began to break
And Im in the throes of it
Somewhere in the belly of the beast
But you took your toll on me
So I gave myself over willingly
You got a hold on me
I dont know how I dont just stand outside and scream
I am teaching myself... |
You are the hole in my head
You are the space in my bed
You are the silence in between
What I thought and what I said
You are the night-time fear
You are the morning when its clear
When its over, youre the start
Youre my head and youre my heart
No light, no light
In your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be ... |
Another conversation with no destination
Another battle never won
And each side is a loser
So who cares who fired the gun?
And Im learning, so Im leaving
And even though Im grieving
Im trying to find the meaning
Letting loss reveal it
Letting loss reveal it
St. Jude, the patron saint of the lost causes
St. Jude, we wer... |
Time it took us
To where the water was
That’s what the water gave me
And time goes quicker
Between the two of us
But oh, my love, don’t forsake me
Take what the water gave me
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
And oh, poor Atlas
The world... |
And its hard to write about being happy
Cause the older I get
I find that happiness is an extremely uneventful subject
And there would be no grand choirs to sing
No chorus could come in
About two people sitting doing nothing
But I must confess
I did it all for myself
I gathered you here to hide from some vast unnameabl... |
And I had a dream
About my old school
And she was there all pink and gold and glittering
I threw my arms around her legs
Came to weeping
Came to weeping
And I heard your voice as clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange and so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a ni... |
And its my whole heart
Weighed and measured inside
And its an old scar
Trying to bleach it out
And its my whole heart
Deemed and delivered a crime
Im on trial, waiting til the beat comes out
Im on trial, waiting til the beat comes out
Whos a heretic now?
Am I making sense?
How can you make it stick?
Waiting til the bea... |
Want me to love you in moderation
Do I look moderate to you?
Sip it slowly and pay attention
I just have to see it through
You got me looking for validation
Pastures new
Want me to love you in moderation
Well, who do you think youre talking to?
Then bow your head in the house of God
And little girl, who do you think yo... |
The looking glass, so shiny and new
How quickly the glamour fades
I start spinning, slipping out of time
Was that the wrong pill to take?
You made a deal, and now it seems you have to offer up
But will it ever be enough?
Its not enough
Here I am, a rabbit-hearted girl
Frozen in the headlights
It seems Ive made the f... |
She told me not to step on the cracks
I told her not to fuss and relax
Well, her pretty little face stopped me in my tracks
But now she sleeps with one eye open
Thats the price shell pay
I took a knife and cut out her eye
I took it home and watched it wither and die
Well, shes lucky that I didnt slip her a smile
That’s... |
If you could only see the beast youve made of me
I held it in, but now it seems youve set it running free
Screaming in the dark, I howl when were apart
Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart
My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to ... |
When we first came here
We were cold and we were clear
With no colours on our skin
We were light and paper thin
And when we first came here
We were cold and we were clear
With no colours in our skin
Until we let the spectrum in
Say my name
And every colour illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
Sa... |
And I came to, walking on the train tracks
How did I get here? And how do I get back?
Ive been up all night, lets stay awake
Push it further, you know Ill never break
At some point in the party, I thought my heart was failing
You said, Hey, youre okay; you seem to be still standing
Flashes appeared at the corner of my ... |
And the crown, it weighs heavy
Til its banging on my eyelids
Retreating in covers and closing the curtains
One things for certain, oh
A year like this passes so strangely
Somewhere between sorrow and bliss
Oh, who decides from where up high?
I couldnt say I need more time
Oh, grant that I can stay the night
Or one more... |
Oh Lord, wont you leave me
Leave me on my knees?
Cause I belong to the ground now
And it belongs to me
And oh Lord, wont you leave me
Leave me just like this?
Cause I belong to the ground now
I want no more than this
How I long for the autumn
The sun keeps burning me
Every stone in this city keeps reminding me, oh
Can ... |
Well, I didnt tell anyone, but a bird flew by
Saw what Id done, he set up a nest outside
And he sang about what Id become
He sang so loud, sang so clear
I was afraid all the neighbours would hear
So I invited him in, just to reason with him
I promised I wouldnt do it again
But he sang louder and louder inside the house... |
Its the hardest thing Ive ever had to do
To try and keep from calling you
Well, can my dreams keep coming true?
How can they?
Cause when I sleep, I never dream of you
As if the dream of you, it sleeps too
But it never slips away
It just gains its strength and digs its hooks
To drag me through the day
But Im caught
I fo... |
Lost in the fog, these hollow hills
Blood running hot, night chills
Without your love, Ill be
So long and lost, are you missing me?
Is it too late to come on home?
Are all those bridges now old stone?
Is it too late to come on home?
Can the city forgive? I hear its sad song
I need the clouds to cover me
Pulling them do... |
Seems that I have been held, in some dreaming state
A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake
No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber
Until I realize that it was you who held me under
Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids
Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down ... |
I was a heavy heart to carry
My beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced to crown
I was a heavy heart to carry
My feet dragged across the ground
And he took me to the river
Where he slowly let me drown
My love has concrete feet
My loves an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall... |
Blinded by the glare
I was moving like I didnt care
But it was more than I could bear
You know I hoped Id see you there
Staring out the window
I could see into the soul of every passer by
So many lives
So many pairs of eyes
A pure feeling
Im invisible and magical
If only for a moment
A pure feeling
Im scared to control... |
And the heart is hard to translate
It has a language of its own
It talks in tongues and quiet sighs
In prayers and proclamations
In the grand deeds of great men and the smallest of gestures
In short shallow gasps
But with all my education I can’t seem to command it
And the words are all escaping, and coming back all da... |
You hit me once
I hit you back
You gave a kick
I gave a slap
You smashed a plate
Over my head
Then I set fire to our bed
You hit me once
I hit you back
You gave a kick
I gave a slap
You smashed a plate
Over my head
Then I set fire to our bed
My black eye casts no shadow
Your red eye sees no blame
Your slaps dont stick
... |
I never thought Id be a killer
Cause theres so much to lose
But if I cant drink the water
What else can I do?
And although the axe is heavy
It just sits in my hands
While youre changing like the current
Not a shore on land
Every time I try to bring it down
You always turn my hand around
Make up your mind
Let me live o... |
This is as good a place to fall as any
Will you build our altar here?
Make me your Maria
Im already on my knees
You had Jesus on your breath
And I caught him in mine
Sweating out confessions
The undone and the divine, cause
This is his body
This is his love
Such selfish prayers
And I cant get enough
Whoa, whoa, yeah, a... |
Theres a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when youre around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an almighty sound
Theres a drumming noise inside my head
That throws me to the ground
I swear that you should hear it
It makes such an almighty sound
Louder than sirens, louder than bells
Sweeter than heave... |
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the Moon is the only light well see
No, I wont be afraid
Oh, I wont be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So, darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me
Stand by me
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
Or the mountain... |
I think you hide
When all the worlds asleep and tired
You cry a little, so do I, so do I
I think you hide
And you dont have to tell me why
You cry a little, so do I, so do I
Tell me I will be released
Not sure I can deal with this
Up all night again this week
Breaking things that I should keep
I know that youre hiding
... |
Between two lungs it was released
The breath that carried me
The sigh that blew me forward
Cause it was trapped
Trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs
And my running feet could fly
Each breath screaming, we are all too young to die
Between two lungs it was released
T... |
Oh, the river, oh, the river, its running free
And oh, the joy, oh, the joy it brings to me
But I know itll have to drown me
Before it can breathe easy
And Ive seen it in the flights of birds
Ive seen it in you
In the entrails of the animals
The blood running through
But in order to get to the heart of things
Sometimes... |
All alone
It was always there you see
And even on my own
It was always standing next to me
I can see it coming from the edge of the room
Creeping in the streetlight
Holding my hand in the pale gloom
Can you see it coming now?
Oh, I think Im breaking down again
Oh, I think Im breaking down
All alone
Even when I was a ch... |
My boy builds coffins with hammers and nails
He doesnt build ships, he has no use for sails
He doesnt make tables, dressers or chairs
He cant carve a whistle because he just doesnt care
My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor
Kings and queens, theyve all knocked on his door
Beggars and liars, gypsies and thieve... |
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I was looking for a breath of a life
For a little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head sang, no, oh oh oh
To get a dream of life again
A little vision of the start and the end
But all the choirs in my head sang, no, oh oh oh
But I needed one more touch
Another taste of heavenly r... |
Im not calling you a liar
Just dont lie to me
Im not calling you a thief
Just dont steal from me
Im not calling you a ghost
Just stop haunting me
And I love you so much
Im going to let you kill me
Theres a ghost in my lungs
And it sighs in my sleep
Wraps itself around my tongue
As it softly speaks
Then it walks, then i... |
Ive fallen out of favor
And Ive fallen from grace
Fallen out of trees
And Ive fallen on my face
Fallen out of taxis
Out of windows too
Fell in your opinion
When I fell in love with you
Oh-ooh, oh-oooooooh
Oh-ooh, oh-oooooooh
Sometimes I wish for falling
Wish for the release
Wish for falling through the air
To give me s... |
Ive been losing sleep
Ive been keeping myself awake
Ive been wandering the streets
For days and days and days
Im going from road to road
Bed to bed
Lover to lover
And black to red
But I believe
I believe
Theres no salvation for me now
No space among the clouds
And I feel Im heading down
But thats alright
Thats alright

No walls can keep me protected
No sleep, nothing in between me and the rain
And you cant save me now
Im in the grip of a hurricane
Im going to blow myself away
Im going out, Im going to drink myself to death
And in the crowd, I see you with someone else
I brace myself, because I know its going to hurt
But I like to thi... |
Hydrogen in our veins, it cannot hold itself, our blood is burning
And the pressure in our bodies that echoes up above it is exploding
And our particles theyre burning up because they yearn for each other
And although we stick together, it seems that we are stranging one another
Feel it on me, love, feel it on me, love... |
Im going to be released from behind these lines
And I dont care whether I live or die
And Im losing blood, Im gonna leave my bones
And I dont want your heart, it leaves me cold
I dont want your future
I dont need your past
One grand moment
Is all I ask
Im going to leave my body
Im going to lose my mind
Said Im going to... |
In the celestial vaults
I drew bedraggled breaths
Because I am unloved
I went as far as I could get
And the cedars like spires
Wasting my goddamn time
Past the museum of death
And the mad man yelling answers
I sail on new beginnings
And psychics taking chances
And the cedars like spires
Wasting my goddamn time
As far a... |
My heart is like a haunted house
Theres things in there that scratch about
They make their music in the night
And in the day they give me such a fright
My heart is like a haunted house
Theres things in there that scream and shout
They make their music in the night
Wish I could find a way to let them out, oh
Do you reme... |
Cruella de Vil, Cruella de Vil
Shes born to be bad, so run for the hills
Cruella de Vil, Cruella de Vil
The fear on your face, it gives me a thrill
Who wants to be nice?
Who wants to be tame?
All of your good guys, they all seem the same
Original, criminal, dressed to kill
Just call me Cruella de Vil
Call me crazy, cal... |
Everybody wants to be famous
Nobody wants to be nameless, aimless
People act shameless, tryna live like entertainers
Want a fat crib with the acres
So they spend money that they ain’t made yet

Spend their pay cheque in the West End on the weekend
Got no money by the end of the... |

She cant see the landscape anymore
Its all painted in her grief
All of her history etched out at her feet
Now all of the landscape, its just an empty place
Acres of longing, mountains of tenderness
Cause shes just like the weather, cant hold her together

I had a dream that I met you blessed When I look at you, and I feel your staring face, I never close my eyes. And every creature I see reminds me of you. That kind of thinking So, I look outside, and I can see the stars and it reminds me my negativity

I tried to control my shaking
With just one sound
I tried to warm the ocean
By writing it down
I tried to tame my nightmare
Line by line
If I write a song about you
Does that make you mine?
The conductor caught in slow motion
The orchestra plays on
Over and over; the same motion
This work is never done
The only thing t... |
There is love in your body but you cant hold it in
It pours from your eyes and spills from your skin
Tenderest touch leaves the darkest of marks
And the kindest of kisses break the hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
There is love in your body but you cant get it out
It g... |
Your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started to sink
Dragged further away from the shore
And deeper into the drink
Sat on the bottom of the ocean
A stern and stubborn rock
Your songs remind me of swimming
But somehow I forgot
I was sinking, and now Im sunk
I was drinking, and now Im drunk
Your songs r... |
I was born in a big grey cloud
Screaming out a love song
All the broken chords and unnamed cries
What a place to come from
I wish to remain nameless
And live without shame
Cause whats in a name, boy?
I still remain the same
You can call it what you want
You can call me anything you want
You can call us what you want
Yo... |
I love you all the time
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, ah
Im never alone, I look at my phone
If I call you up, youre never at home
I love you all the time
Im fueled up and high, Im out with the guys
A smile on my face, no reason to cry
I love you all the time
I can tell by that look in your eye
Youre looking a... |
Hey, look up
Don’t make a spectre of yourself living in that ghoulish light
You are a slave to your own creation
Look up, look up, the spell is broken
That original lifeline
Original lifeline
But Im the same, Im the same, Im trying to change
I am the same, Im the same, Im trying to change
I am the same, Im the same, Im... |
Know you’ve been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself
If you let me, here’s what I’ll do
I’ll take care of you
Because I’ve loved and I’ve lost
I’ve asked about you and they told me things
But my mind didn’t change and I still feel the same
A life with no fun, please don’t be so ashamed

Are you hurting the one you love?
You say youve found Heaven, but you cant find God
Are you hurting the one you love?
Bite your tongue until it tastes like blood
Are you hurting the one you love?
So many glasses on the tabletop
Are you hurting the one you love?
Youd like to stay in heaven but the rules are too tough

The lights are on, but youre not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is all it takes
You cant sleep, you cant eat
Theres no doubt, youre in deep
Your throat is tight, you cant breathe
Another kiss is all you need
Whoa, you like to think that youre immune to the stuff, oh yeah... |
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, youll marry a music man

Turning back she just laughs

Theres nothing to do here
All just lie and complain
In bed at the hospital
Coming and going
Asleep and awake
In bed at the hospital
Ive got one friend
Laying across from me
I did not choose him
He did not choose me
We have no chance
Of recovering
Laying in hospitals
Joy and misery
Joy and misery
Joy and misery

When your life is over
I wont be sad or blue
Ill put on my fancy hat
Lie down next to you
Ill kiss you once for life
Ill kiss you twice for death
Hold you close for comfort
Wearing my best dress

Your face a troubled frown
So I will smooth your furrowed brow
As I lay you in the ground

Little donkey on my shoulder
And a jackal on my back
Ill carry these, my children
Keep them safe from attack
The donkey makes it hard to dance, the jackal sings too loud

Little donkey is getting restless
Getting heavier as it grows
And the jackal, spoiled and... |

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
Its always darkest before the dawn
And Ive been a fool and Ive b... |
The times we had
Oh when the wind would blow with rain and snow
Were not all bad
We put our feet just where they had, had to go
Never to go, oh
The shattered soul
Following close but nearly twice as slow
In my good times
There were always golden rocks to throw
At those who admit defeat too late
Those were our times, th... |
Between a crucifix and the Hollywood sign, we decided to get hurt
Now theres 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 every city was a gift
And every skyline
How big, how blue, how beautiful
How big, how blue, how beautiful
And mea... |
Ooh she may be weary
Young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
But when she get weary
Try a little tenderness
You know shes waiting
Just anticipating
The thing that shell never, never, never possess
But while shes waiting
Try a little tenderness
Its not sentimental, no, no, no
She has - her greav... |
Were paper dolls, all joined together
Walking arm in arm
But each float like feathers
Shaken by the storm
Then everybody started tearing up when they pulled apart
Everyone had broken arms and legs and broken hearts
Everybody started tearing up and they pulled apart
Everyone had broken arms and legs and broken hearts

You could be my silver spring
Blue-green colors flashing
I would be your only dream
Your shining autumn ocean crashing
Dont say that shes pretty?
And did you say that she loved you?
Baby, I dont want to know
So I begin not to love you
Turn around, see me running
I say I loved you years ago
But tell myself you never lov... |
Old hope
Got stuck in your throat
Wound its way around your neck
And caused you to choke
Old hope
Made of rope
That held you tight when the chair legs broke
When they found you hanging in the wood
You said at least now I dont have to be kind or good
Ill be cruel and Ill be obscene
Tear out my tongue
Cause Ive been rede... |
We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout
Weve been talkin bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out
Im goin to Jackson, Im gonna mess around
Yeah, Im goin to Jackson
Look out, Jackson town
Well, go on down to Jackson; go ahead and wreck your health
Go play your hand, you big-talkin man, and make a big fo... |
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying Lord I just dont care
But youve got the love I need to see me through
Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Now and then it feels like life is just too much

Guess its true, Im not good at a one-night stand
But I still need love cause Im just a man
These nights never seem to go to plan
I dont want you to leave, will you hold my hand
Oh, wont you stay with me
Cause youre all I need
This aint love, its clear to see
But, darling, stay with me
Why am I so emotional
No, its not ... |
I built a man made out of bricks, and lived inside his chest
I beat my head against the wall to make a heart beat in his breast
I smashed my fist against his ribs to suck the air inside
And swing by swing, and blow by blow, I brought that man to life
I built a man and cut his skin, and lived inside his heart
I pumped i... |
Im not calling you a liar
Just dont lie to me
Im not calling you a thief
Just dont steal from me
Im not calling you a ghost
Just stop haunting me
I love you so much
That Im going to let you kill me
Dont tell me what youve done
Dont tell me what youve done
Dont tell me what youve done
Dont tell me what youve done
Dont t... |
Drifting through the halls with the sunrise
Holding on for your call
Climbing up the walls for that flashing light
That I can never let go
Cause Im gonna be free and Im gonna be fine
Holding on for your call
Im gonna be free and Im gonna be fine
But maybe not tonight
Now the Sun is up and Im going blind
Holding on for ... |
The Lyrics dataset parsed from Genius. This dataset is designed to generate lyrics with HuggingArtists. Model is available here.
en
How to load this dataset directly with the datasets library:
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("huggingartists/florence-the-machine")
An example of 'train' looks as follows.
This example was too long and was cropped:
{
"text": "Look, I was gonna go easy on you\nNot to hurt your feelings\nBut I'm only going to get this one chance\nSomething's wrong, I can feel it..."
}
The data fields are the same among all splits.
text: a string feature.| train | validation | test |
|---|---|---|
| 173 | - | - |
'Train' can be easily divided into 'train' & 'validation' & 'test' with few lines of code:
from datasets import load_dataset, Dataset, DatasetDict
import numpy as np
datasets = load_dataset("huggingartists/florence-the-machine")
train_percentage = 0.9
validation_percentage = 0.07
test_percentage = 0.03
train, validation, test = np.split(datasets['train']['text'], [int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*train_percentage), int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*(train_percentage + validation_percentage))])
datasets = DatasetDict(
{
'train': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(train)}),
'validation': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(validation)}),
'test': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(test)})
}
)
