florence and the machine - my boy builds coffins (with lyrics)

A great song from florence and the machine.. lyrics in the video and here:

My boy builds coffins with hammers and nails
He doesn't build ships, he has no use for sails
He doesn't make tables, dresses or chairs
He can't carve a whistle cause he just doesn't care

My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor
Kings and queens have all knocked on his door
Beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves
They all come to him coz he's so eager to please

My boy builds coffins he makes them all day
But it's not just for work and it isn't for play
He's made one for himself
One for me too
One of these days he'll make one for you

My boy builds coffins for better or worse
Some say its a blessing, some say its a curse
He fits them together in sunshine or rain
Each one is unique, no two are the same

My boy builds coffins and I think it's a shame
That when eachones been made, he can't see it again
He crabs everyone with love and repair
Then its thrown in the ground and it just isn't fair

My boy builds coffins he makes them all day
But it's not just for work and it isn't for play
He's made one for himself
One for me too
One of these days he'll make one for you

Sorry, your lyrics are wrong, "He crabs everyone with love and repair" it's actually "He crafts everyone with love and with care", though i like the way you did 2:20 and i love the song :)

@OSplendrousSerpent I thought that it meant that sooner or later you will have to die, an that there is no exception no matter who you are. Weather you are rich, poor a king or a queen one day you will die and you cant escape that fate. But thats just my opinion. :)
