FLORENCE + THE MACHINEย /ย DANCE FEVER SENTENCE STARTERS
โย The very thing youโre best at is the thing that hurts the most. โ
โย But a woman is a changeling; always shifting shape. โ
โย I never knew my killer would be coming from within. โ
โย And I was never as good as I always thought I was, but I knew how to dress it up. โ
โย Sometimes I wonder if I should be medicated. If I would feel better just lightly sedated. โ
โย Iโm always running from something. โ
โย Being clever never got me very far. โ
โย And for a moment when Iโm dancing I am free. โ
โย Is this how it is? Is this how itโs always been? โ
โย Oh, donโt you wanna call it off? โ
โย But there is nothing else that I know how to do; But to open up my arms and give it all to you. โ
โย I donโt know how it started; Donโt know how to stop it. โ
โย Somethingโs coming, so out of breath. โ
โย I just kept spinninโ and I danced myself to death. โ
โย And do they speak to you? โCause they speak to me too. โ
โย Never really been alive before. I always lived in my head. โ
โย Sometimes it was easier, hungover and half-dead. โ
โย Iโm back in town, why donโt we go out? โ
โย I came for the pleasure, but I stayed for the pain. โ
โย If you get spat on, thatโs just your big city baptism. โ
โย I thought that I was here with you, but it was always just an empty room. โ
โย What a thing to admit, that when someone looks at me with real love I donโt like it very much. โ
โย Is this something that you would like to discuss? โ
โย And itโs good to be alive, crying into cereal at midnight. โ
โย If they ever let me out, Iโm gonna really let it out. โ
โย But, oh God, youโre gonna get it. Youโll be sorry that you messed with me. โ
โย Everyone treated us like little pets. โ
โย Oh, tell me, itโs not over yet. โ
โย In my darkest fantasies, I am the picture of passivity. โ
โย When I decided to wage Holy War, it looked very much like staring at my bedroom floor. โ
โย And I know I may not look like much, just another screaming speck of dust. โ
โย Well, did you miss me? โ
โย Iโve been expecting you, Iโm ready. โ
โย Deliver me that bad news, baby. โ
โย Am I your dream girl? โ
โย You think of me in bed, but you could never hold me and like me better in your head. โ
โย Make me evil. Then Iโm an angel instead. โ
โย At least youโll sanctify me when Iโm dead. โ
โย Well, did I disappoint you? โ
โย Do I just remind you of every girl that made you mad? โ
โย Make me perfect, make me your fantasy. โ
โย You know I deserve it. Well, take it out on me. โ
โย I am nobodyโs moral center. โ
โย All the things that I ran from, I now bring as close to me as I can. โ
โย All this work gone to waste. โ
โย I used to see the future and now I see nothinโ. โ
โย Well, can you see me? I cannot see you. โ
โย Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view. โ
โย All the gods have been domesticated. โ
โย Heaven is now overrated. โ
โย Well, you can take your complaints straight to the Lord. โ
โย I try to still look with wonder on the world. โ
โย Heaven is here if you want it. โ
โย Hell, if it glitters, Iโm going. โ
โย You know I always get my man. โ
โย I couldnโt help it, yes, I let it get in. โ
โย The helpless optimism of spring. โ
โย Iโm not bad, Iโm not good. โ
โย Made myself mythical, tried to be real. โ
โย There is no bad, there is no good. โ
โย A generation soaked in grief; weโre drying out and hanging on by the skin of our teeth. โ
โย I never thought it would get this far, this somewhat drunken joke. โ
โย Sometimes I see so much beauty I donโt think that I can cope. โ
โย So tell me where to put my love. โ
โย Am I quiet enough for you yet? โ
โย You said this could have been the best thing that ever happened to you; So you decided not to do it. โ
โย If I was free to love you, you wouldnโt want me, would you? โ
โย Unavailability is the only thing that turns you on. โ
โย Iโve blown apart my life for you. โ
โย Come here, baby, tell me that Iโm wrong. โ
โย I donโt love you, I just love the bomb. โ
โย Iโve been here many times before. โ
โย I shouldโve come with a warninโ. โ
โย Iโll show you what it means to be saved. โ
โย Oh, you know Iโm still afraid. โ
