I must become a lion hearted girl


The looking glass so shiny and new
How quickly the glamor fades
I start spinning slipping out of time
Was that the wrong pill to take (Raise it up)
You made a deal and now it seems you have to offer up


Here I am a rabbit hearted girl
Frozen in the headlights
It seems Ive made the final sacrifice


This is a gift it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight


I must become a lion hearted girl
Ready for a fight
Before I make the final sacrifice

We raise it up this offering
We raise it up


And in the spring I shed my skin
And it blows away with the changing wind
The waters turn from blue to red
As towards the sky I offer it

Latest Obsession





I first heard about this wonderful band when I accidently recorded a show they were on on V+. I watched it in wonder as a mysterious - and seemingly shy - redhead belted out a song that belongs in another world. There's something very unique about her = and definitely her voice, and I love her music!!



Being Nylon, the best magazine in the world, there was an article about Florence and the machine and it was really interesting. Florence claims that she had 'Singing Tourettes' in school as she wouldn't be able to stop singing and would always get told off for it. She also revealed that her first success was when she was drunk in a nightclub's toilets and someone overheard her and booked her for a party.



She also appeared on Jonathan Ross this week. Thus her music is my latest obsession.
