Florence + The Machine, Slaves & Wolf Alice Among 2015 Mercury Prize Albums Of The Year Nominees

Oh, the king
Gone mad within his suffering
Called out for relief
Someone cure him of his grief

His only son
Cut down, but the battle won
Oh, what is it worth
When all that's 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 I'm overcome
Dissolving like the setting sun
Like a boat into oblivion
Cause you're driving me away
Now you have me on the run
The damage is already done
Come on, is this what you want?
Cause you're driving me away

Oh, the queen of peace
Always does her best to please
Is it any use?
Somebody's gotta lose

Like a long scream
Out there, always echoing
Oh, what is it worth?
All that's 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 I'm overcome
Dissolving like the setting sun
Like a boat into oblivion
Cause you're driving me away
Now you have me on the run
The damage is already done
Come on, is this what you want?
Cause you're driving me away

And my love is no good
Against the fortress that it made of you
Blood is running deep
Sorrow that you keep

Suddenly I'm overcome
Dissolving like the setting sun
Like a boat into oblivion
Cause you're driving me away
Now you have me on the run
The damage is already done
Come on, is this what you want?
Cause you're driving me away

It wasn't her fault
She makes sugar taste like salt
Cause she was so sweet
Now you're shuffling your feet with your hands in your pockets
It wasn't her fault
She made sugar taste like salt
And when she walked in the room
You could hear your eyes rolling round in their sockets

Their sockets, their sockets, their sockets!
She doesn't know if it's a blessing or a curse
Money in her hand but never any in her purse
Looking at the crowd thinking "who's it gonna be?
Who's the lucky boy that's gonna quench my thirst?"
It wasn't her fault that she didn't have a say
Spending every second wishing they would go away
Tying up my shoes is becoming a problem
But that's the way it is and that's the way it's gonna stay
It wasn't her fault
She made sugar taste like salt
Cause she was so sweet
Now you're shuffling your feet with your hands in your pockets
It wasn't her fault
She made sugar taste like salt
And when she walked in the room
You could hear your eyes rolling round in their sockets
Their sockets, their sockets, their sockets!
You can point the finger but she's not the one to blame
For chemical reactions that are starting in your brain
Looking at the crowd thinking "who's it gonna be?
Who's the lucky boy that's gonna ease my pain?"
It wasn't her fault that she didn't have a say
Spending every second wishing they would go away
Tying up my shoes is becoming a problem
But that's the way it is and that's the way it's gonna stay
It wasn't her fault
She made sugar taste like salt
Cause she was so sweet
Now you're shuffling your feet with your hands in your pockets
It wasn't her fault
She made sugar taste like salt
And when she walked in the room
You could hear your eyes rolling round in their sockets
Their sockets, their sockets, their sockets!

It wasn't her fault!
It wasn't her fault!
It wasn't her fault!
It wasn't her fault!
It wasn't her fault!
It wasn't her fault!
It wasn't her fault!
That you could hear your eyes rolling round in their sockets

You've got a problem
I cannot face it
Hear the anger through the ceiling
I wish I missed it

Quit your employment
We can work without it
If it means you are not sure for it

YOU'RE IN MY BLOOD
I'M IN YOUR BLOOD
YOU'RE IN MY BLOOD
Let's just forget
Let's just forget

Get up before they shoot you down
This is not worth the risk
The shouting, damped by the ceiling
And I am waiting for what this is

YOU'RE IN MY BLOOD
I'M IN YOUR BLOOD
YOU'RE IN MY BLOOD
Let's just forget
Let's just forget
