Текст песни My Boy Builds Coffins (iTunes Festival: London 2010 - Live) - Florence + The Machine

My boy builds coffins with hammers and nails
He doesn′t build ships, he has no use for sails
He doesn't make tables, dresses or chairs
He can′t carve a whistle 'cause he just doesn't care

My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor
Kings and queens them all knocked on his door
Beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves
They all come to him ′cause he′s so eager to please

My boy builds coffins, he makes them all day
But it's not just for work and it isn′t for play
He's made one for himself, one for me too
One of these days he′ll make one for you
For you, for you, for you

My boy builds coffins for better or worse
Some say it's a blessing, some say it′s a curse
He fits them together in sunshine or rain
Each one is unique, no two are the same

My boy builds coffins and I think it's a shame
That when each ones been made, he can't see it again
He crafts every one with love and with care
Then it′s thrown in the ground, it just isn′t fair

My boy builds coffins, he makes them all day
But it's not just for work and it isn′t for play
He's made one for himself, one for me too
And one of these days he′ll make one for you
For you, for you, for you
