Florence + The Machine - Little Donkey Lyrics
With a donkey on my shoulderand a jackal on my backI'll carry these, my children,keep them safe from attackThe donkey makes it hard to danceand the jackal sings too loudLittle donkey's getting restless,getting heavier as it growsAnd the jackal, spoiled and spiteful,keeps biting at my noseI would have a lovera husband and a childBut the donkey is too jealousand the jackal is too wildOh, is too wildYou ask me why I keep them, ohWhy I love them soWhy they get away with murder as they grow and grow and growYou ask me why I keep them, oh, ohWhy I love them soWhy they get away with murder as they grow and growI keep them 'cause I made them They come from in my heartWith each mistake I make, created and torn apartAnd when it's time to feed them,before they go to bed,I give them my confessions baked within their breadAnd as they sleep,tucked up tight,the donkey and the jackal, they snort and snuffle in the night.WoahLittle donkey's getting restless,getting heavier as it growsAnd the jackal, spoiled and spiteful,keeps biting at my nose
