RARE "Little Donkey" - Florrible and Misrabella

This song is called "Little Donkey". It's a rework of Florence's song known as "Donkey Kosh", which was never officially released.

When it was made, Florence Welch and Isabella Summers released it with their group name as "Florrible and Misrabella" (aka Florence and the Machine and Laydee Isa).

Give it a couple listens. Sure, it's a bit different, but it's just as brilliant as anything else Florence and Isa have made together.



[LYRICS]:

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
and the jackal sings too loud

Little donkey's 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
Oh, is too wild

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

I keep them 'cause I made them
They come from in my heart
With each mistake I make, created 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

And as they sleep,
tucked up tight,
the donkey and the jackal, they snort and snuffle in the night.
Woah

Little donkey's getting restless,
getting heavier as it grows
And the jackal, spoiled and spiteful,
keeps biting at my nose

I love how when I first started out listening to Flo, I thought that all the songs on her "Lungs" CD were the best -- never did I think that through rareflorence would I find all her eerily beautiful songs that just aren't appreciated enough. Hello Florribe and Misrabella; another brilliant creation that involves Florence Welch.

NO SHE CANT BE A BRUNETTE it just ruins the magic!! she looks so childish and it makes her seem less wise and mature, and the same person who makes it so hard to believe shes 25...
