Florence + The Machine - Throwing Bricks Lyrics
I built a man made out of bricks
And lived inside his chest
I beat my head against the wall
To make a heartbeat in his breast
I smashed my fists against his ribs
And swing by swing and blow by blow
I brought that man to life
I built a man and cut his skin
And lived inside his heart
I pumped it with my fingertips
And loved it from the start
And with every beat I gave it
A heartbeat of my own
And filed his veins with the blood I had
'Till his blood was my own
I would build you up
But we're not made of the same stuff
And even though I knocked you down
You're so much stronger than me
Well I would build you right up
But we're not made of the same stuff
You're so much stronger than me

[LYRICS]:
I built a man made out of bricks, and lived inside his chest
I beat my head against the wall to make a heart beat in his breast
I smashed my fist against his ribs to suck the air inside
And swing by swing, and blow by blow, I brought that man to life
I built a man and cut his skin, and lived inside his heart
I pumped it with my fingertips, and loved it from the start
And with every beat I gave him a heartbeat of my own
And I filled his veins with the blood I had
Till his blood,
Till his blood,
Till his blood,
Was my own
Oh, I'd build you up, but we're not made of the same stuff,
And even though I knocked you down, you're so much stronger than me
Well, I would build you up, but we're not made of the same stuff,
And even though I knocked you down, you're so much stronger than me
[I love that song, that song makes me so happy! It sounds really good, I think...]
Beautiful
Raped the replay button over and over again. Sorry not sorry.
where can i buy this
+Qpenguin98 except bird song is on the album xx
THE END WHERE SHE SPEAKS AHHH !!! <3 <3 <3 SHE'S JUST TOO PERFECT <3
Sounds like Jeane by the smiths just a bit
A little bit, but F+TM sounds more upbeat and joyfull.
bring more 8!! now its 16.
I don't think Florence would approve of this violent act, unless it's in "Kiss With A Fist" spirit. lol
The end <3 !!

heheheh
Awesome song and she is soooo adorable at the end!!! -.-
Her laugh and comment at the end are enough to make anyone adore her. Plus, this music kicks ass.
I feel that this song is about a woman who created this perfect image in her head, this ideal man that she took solace in. But, she put so much of herself into it, that she could no longer be comforted by the image, something made only of imagination. So she gave up on it. And it wasn't sad, nor was it happy, it was just an end.
one of my favorits!
14 people got hit by Florence's bricks.
@ArandomNutter 25 now
Simply inspiring :) thats Florence for ya.
Loving it! :D
A song sent from the heavens. By the way how did she sing that last note so long but at the same time beautiful
@kittykatzluvpopmusic It's called Lungs. And, no. Unfortunately, it's not...
@findleyrocks its like bird song. not an album song, just a song fof the people. it will never go on an album, its a song made pureley (however u spell that) for the enjoyment of singing
what is this an official single for a new album?? i dont think so cuz ceremonials just came out... but what is thiss?!
I like this one better than the studio version :)
4TheCacti there’s a studio version? Where?
ceremonys throwing bricks is way better
Why isn't this song on her album???
It's an amazing song AND it makes Florence feel happy... what more can you ask for!?!? :)
i love this song. it makes me so happy.

@ChuckNorrisFilms1 Alternative...according to iTunes...
i love this girl!! i saw her in concert,and no matter what she's good ;]♥ and of course she's a rock band!!
I love how she can pull off different varieties of songs (:
What genre of music is Florence? :O
@TheKickasskatie she does only have one this is just an unreleased song :)
which album is this on? i thought she only had one?
i luv it.
Usually if I like someone I only like atleast 5 songs or less. But Every next Florence song I always love! Every song is food for my ears.
you know when you love a song when you dance to it and when some one sees you, you just keep dancing to it <3
I have to say that I like the Mtv uk version better, it's a bit faster and just Florence a drum and a guitar. Anyone else seen/heard it here on youtube and agree?
lots of love from Death valley!
LOVE FROM DUBAI!!!!
Lots of love from Florida <3
Lots of Love from Sweden! <33
Love from South Carolina <3 :D

I still haven't heard a bad song by her! Does anyone know if she's EVER coming to Ireland any time soon?
Play Loud:))))))))))))))))
@ritadml yes,they both have fake cockney accents to hide the fact that they both come from middle class suburban families.
Florence's commentary at the end makes me smile. :)
Because of Florence I am proud to say I am from the U.K
@rhymeswitreezon Lol, I didn't mean it to be. :) I meant, which flower looks weird to you? *is curious*
@rhymeswitreezon What do you mean? Which one looks weird to you? *tilts head*
"I love that song, it makes me really happy!"
Love her!!!! I am so addicted to her music right now
@Dyv4bkz Nope. She is just that wonderful.
@kerussell23 Calm down! She just complimented Florence's voice! Besides, not every singer is tip-top in every song -- considering she's not auto-tuned and all. I LOVE this song too, but some times her voice just doesn't suit a certain song. That person is entitled to their own opinion ... calm yourself!
@OliviaDoDance wow. shut the fuck up ha. i'd like to see you sing this shit. post your version and we'll see which one sounds screamy. this is one of my favorites from her.
