Florence + The Machine - Donkey Kosh Lyrics

Man we really deserve a remastered version of this.

She always brings the breath for us, doesn't she?!?!

God I love her

Pleas make a single for this music!!!!

With a donkey on my shoulder, 
And a jackal on my back,
I'll carry these, my children,
Keep them safe from attack

The donkey makes it hard to dance, the jackal sings too loud
The donkey cries when it's alone, and the jackal is too proud

Little donkey is getting restless,
Getting heavier as it grows
And the jackal, spoiled and spiteful,
Keeps biting at my nose

I would have a lover,
A husband, and a child
But the donkey is too jealous,
And the jackal is too wild

It's too wild

You ask me why I keep them, 
Why I love them so,
Why they get away with murder, 
As they grow and grow and grow, oh

I keep them cos I made them,
They come from in my loins
With each mistake I make
Creative, and torn apart

And when it's time to feed them,
Before they go to bed,
I give them my confessions,
Baked within their bread

Little donkey is getting restless,
Getting heavier as it grows
And the jackal, spoiled and spiteful,
Keeps biting at my nose

Little donkey is getting restless,
Getting heavier as it grows
And the jackal, spoiled and spiteful,
Keeps biting at my nose

I can see hozier singing this music omg 😮

I can not believe that after 10 years, this song just came out now. There are still many other songs to come. I really want Throwing Bricks!!! It's one of my favorite songs. 😩😩

Amazing for a demo!
so when are we getting the finished version?

that's what i'm saying!!!

I will always be grateful to rareflorence for giving us all access to these before they came back again. Thank you rareflorence

The goddess called

We need paper massacre :'(

Is it too bad still asking for the full demo of Paper Massacre?

You know who has a LOT of unreleased songs? Lana Del Rey. Some are pretty good!!!

It's like her voice is belong to someone else. The time ages person :/

OH MY GOD. i wish you knew how many memories this brings back wow. happy 10 years!

The intro got me from my heart

Her voice has changed a lot...from better to better.

Love it love you Florence ❤️❤️❤️

i am dead

I wish they do the same for ceremonials

Was anybody else expecting a Donkey Kong sample in here somewhere? Lol.

Go Florence 💪

Happy Birthday Lungssss❤️❤️💕💕💕 miss her most sweet voice

Released the same version of donkey kosh to released 8 years before 🙄🙄🙄, a studio version is what I was waiting for.

Amei, música maravilhosa 😍😍 já querooooo!! 😍🇧🇷❤

Ooooooooo yes, can we have Old Hope next?

Just... thank you 💗🖤

I thank goodness for some reason, ever more, knowing she was this good at Lungs.

Happy birthday Lungs, love you Florence+The Machine!

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

In a certain way it's charming they are releasing the old classic demo, which may means this song was never properly recorded. Lovely.

OMG!!!! IVE LITERALLY BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS SONG THE PAST WEEK

Literally had a heart attack when I got the notification 😭

Then I died when I heard the song 😂

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, LOVE! LOVING THIS LEGENDARY HIT FROM FLORRIBLE AND MISRABELLA!!!

I remember going onto rareflorence and looking everywhere for demos and anything related to this album... that was a classic

This is the most beautiful song In the world

PAPER MASSACRE

I now know that whatever happens, may happen, cus, soon I'll be able to listen to her new(to me) music. *Guarantee of upcoming happiness*

I thought it was Sia. Hahaha. I love this demo💜💜

LoQueSeaAmigo Sia doesn’t sound like this but i see where you’re coming from haha

why is anything she makes so FUCKING GOOD

O aniversário é do Lungs mas o presente quem ganha somos nós💕

RAINHA DO INDIE FAZ ASSIM.

One of my favs, I'm soglad you're bringing it back ♥

this in unspeakably amazing. i remember coming across these recordings almost ten years ago and still being a fan now, i've always thought this and My Best Dress were so underrated and unknown. i'm so happy these have been released. now we just gotta get Paper Massacre...

I remember this with the SMS ringtone at the back 🙆🏾‍♂️😂❤

Might be just me but early Florence to me had a similar sound and singing style to young Regina Spektor.

Two of my favourite artists!

I didn’t realise I’d be losing another wig today 😂💗

We also want Paper Massacre

I have the whole Ashok album on iTunes.

Paper dolls!

Donkey Kong

Happy 10th Anniversary Lungs!

Waiting for "Paper massacre" 'cause all of these is getting to my soul soo bad!

Her farewell message - she knew then, she just didn't know she knew it until now.

I love Florence so much! Can't wait to see her live in Athens in September!😍

I remember this now... brought back an old buried memory of me and my mom, thank you Flo 💛

Greek flavor in the beginning!! 🇬🇷

Congrats Lungs beloved!

This made my day!

Holy shit I'm early

Very good song!

Please, release Paper Massacre!

They could just make an album filled with their unreleased demos and I will pay a million bucks for it

What is a million bucks in your country? 7 rubles or donkey turds?

If I had that much money I would too😂

So will I because I have been waiting for Paper Massacre for years!

@zhenyilani what type of music? when and where did she say that?

Me @ flo: Just take my money and gO

It's not done, it's raw and good but keep working on it! Can't wait to hear the finish
