Florence + The Machine - Donkey Kosh Lyrics
With a donkey on my shoulder,And a jackal on my back,I'll carry these, my children,Keep them safe from attackThe donkey makes it hard to dance, the jackal sings too loudThe donkey cries when it's alone, and the jackal is too proudLittle donkey is getting restless,Getting heavier as it growsAnd the jackal, spoiled and spiteful,Keeps biting at my noseI would have a lover,A husband, and a childBut the donkey is too jealous,And the jackal is too wildIt's too wildYou ask me why I keep them,Why I love them so,Why they get away with murder,As they grow and grow and grow, ohI keep them cos I made them,They come from in my loinsWith each mistake I makeCreative, and torn apartAnd when it's time to feed them,Before they go to bed,I give them my confessions,Baked within their breadLittle donkey is getting restless,Getting heavier as it growsAnd the jackal, spoiled and spiteful,Keeps biting at my noseLittle donkey is getting restless,Getting heavier as it growsAnd the jackal, spoiled and spiteful,Keeps biting at my nose
