Song of the Week (Week of December 5, 2010)

This has been a crazy week and almost everyday in the car, I've enjoyed listening to "Dog Days Are Over" by Florence + The Machine. Plus, the song was done in this week's episode of "Glee," AND Florence got nominated for Best New Artist at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards. This is officially the second single from their debut album, "Lungs," and probably their most famous song, thanks to its inclusion in the "Eat, Pray, Love" advertisement. It's a great song, so enjoy!



Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with her drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your loving, your loving behind
You cant carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh

Happiness hit her like a bullet in the head
Struck from a great height
By someone who should know better than that

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your loving, your loving behind
You cant carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
