The Dog Days Are Over

I really, badly want this to be my go-to karaoke song. It's gonna take a lot of vocalization and practice. And even then, I would probably still suck. But it is so bloody awesome.
Try singing along with it! Such a blast ...

Dog Days Are Over
by Florence + The Machine

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 a drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are comin' so you better run

Run fast for your mother; run fast for your father
Run for your children all your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind.
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses
'Cos 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 back
Struck from a great height
By someone who should have known better than that

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

Run fast for your mother run fast for your father
Run for your children all your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive

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

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are comin'
So you'd better run

The dog days and over
The dog days are done
The horses are comin'
So you'd better run

  1. My car performances of this song are pretty epic (or epically bad, depending who you talk to). Good luck!
