High in the halls of the kings who are gone Jenny would dance with her ghosts The ones she had lost and the ones she had found And the ones who had loved her the most The ones whod been gone for so very long She couldnt remember their names They spun her around on the damp old stone Spun away all her sorrow and pain And she never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave Never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave They danced through the day and into the night Through the snow that swept through the hall From winter to summer and winter again Til the walls did crumble and fall And she never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave Never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave And she never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave Never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave High in the halls of the kings who are gone Jenny would dance with her ghosts The ones she had lost and the ones she had found And the ones who had loved her the most
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 coming So you better run Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers Leave all your love and your longing behind You cant carry it with you if you want to survive The dog days are over The dog days are done Can you hear the horses? Cause 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? Cause here they come Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers Leave all your love and your longing behind You cant carry it with you if you want to survive The dog days are over The dog days are done Can you hear the horses? Cause here they come The dog days are over The dog days are done Can you hear the horses? Cause here they come The dog days are over The dog days are gone Can you hear the horses? Cause here they come

I feel nervous in a way that cant be named I dreamt last night of a sign that read The end of love And I remember thinking Even in my dreaming It was a good line for a song We were a family pulled from the flood You tore the floorboards up And let the river rush in Not wash away, wash away We were reaching in the dark That summer in New York And it was so far to fall But it didnt hurt at all And let it wash away, wash away In a moment of joy and fury I threw myself From the balcony like my grandmother so many years before me Ive always been in love with you Could you tell it from the moment that I met you? We were a family pulled from the flood You tore the floorboards up And let the river rush in Not wash away, wash away We were reaching in the dark That summer in New York And was it so far to fall? You said it didnt hurt at all And let it wash away, wash away And Joshua came down from the mountain With a tablet in his hands Told me that he loved me, yeah And then ghosted me again We were reaching in the dark That summer in New York And it was so far to fall But it didnt hurt at all I let it wash away, wash away Reaching in the dark That summer in New York And was it so far to fall? You said it didnt hurt at all And let it wash away, wash away
Dont touch the sleeping pills, they mess with my head Dredging up great white sharks, swimming in the bed Here comes a killer whale, to sing me to sleep Thrashing the covers off, has me by its teeth And, oh, my love remind me, what was it that I said? I cant help but pull the earth around me to make my bed And, oh, my love remind me, what was it that I did? Did I drink too much? Am I losing touch? Did I build a ship to wreck? To wreck, to wreck, to wreck Did I build this ship to wreck? Whats with the long face? Do you want more? Thousands of red-eyed mice, scratching at the door And dont let the curtain catch you, cause youve been here before The chair is an island, darling, you cant touch the floor And, oh, my love remind me, what was it that I said? I cant help but pull the earth around me to make my bed And, oh, my love remind me, what was it that I did? Did I drink too much? Am I losing touch? Did I build a ship to wreck?

And good God Under starless skies we are lost And into the breach we got tossed And the waters coming in fast And, oh, my love remind me, what was it that I said? I cant help but pull the earth around me to make my bed And, oh, my love remind me, what was it that I did? Did I drink too much? Am I losing touch? Did I build a ship to wreck? To wreck, to wreck, to wreck Did I build this ship to wreck? To wreck, to wreck, to wreck Did I build this ship to wreck?

When I go home alone I drive past the place where I was born And the places that I used to drink Young and drunk and stumbling in the street Outside the Joiners Arms like foals unsteady on their feet With the art students and the boys in bands High on E and holding hands with someone that I just met I thought, It doesnt get better than this There can be nothing better than this, better than this. And we climbed onto the roof of the museum And someone made love in the grass And I forgot my name And the way back to my mothers house With your Blackpool eyes and your bitten lips The world is at your fingertips It doesnt get better than this What else could be better than this? Oh, do you know what I have seen? I have seen the fields aflame And everything I ever did Was just another way to scream your name Over and over and over and over again Over and over and over and over again And were just children wanting children of our own I want a space to watch things grow But did I dream too big? Do I have to let it go? And what if one day there is no such thing as snow? Oh God, what do I know? And I dont know anything Except that green is so green And theres a special kind of sadness that seems to come with spring Oh, do you know what I have seen? I have seen the fields aflame But everything I ever did Was just another way to scream your name Over and over and over and over again Over and over and over and over again Oh, do you know what I have seen? I have seen the fields aflame But everything I ever did Was just another way to scream your name

And the air was full Of various storms and saints Parading in the streets As the banks began to break And Im in the throes of it Somewhere in the belly of the beast But you took your toll on me So I gave myself over willingly You got a hold on me I dont know how I dont just stand outside and scream I am teaching myself how to be free The monument of the memory You tear it down in your head Dont make the mountain your enemy Get out, get up there instead You saw the stars out in front of you Too tempting not to touch But even though it shocked you Somethings electric in your blood Can people just untie themselves Uncurling like flowers If you could just forgive yourself But still you stumble, your feet give way Outside the world seems a violent place But you had to have him, and so you did Some things you let go in order to live While all around you, the buildings sway Sing it out loud, who made us this way? I know youre bleeding, but youll be okay Hold on to your heart, youll keep it safe Hold on to your heart, dont give it away Now find a rooftop to sing from Now find a hallway to dance You dont need no edge to cling from Your heart is there, its in your hands I know it seems like forever I know it seems like an age But one day this will be over I swear its not so far away Can people just untie themselves Uncurling like flowers If you could just forgive yourself But still you stumble, your feet give way Outside the world seems a violent place But you had to have him, and so you did Some things you let go in order to live While all around you, the buildings sway Sing it out loud, who made us this way? I know youre bleeding, but youll be okay Hold on to your heart, youll keep it safe Hold on to your heart

Another conversation with no destination Another battle never won And each side is a loser So who cares who fired the gun?

Time it took us To where the water was That’s what the water gave me And time goes quicker Between the two of us But oh, my love, don’t forsake me Take what the water gave me Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow Pockets full of stones Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow And oh, poor Atlas The world’s a beast of a burden You’ve been holding on a long time And all this longing And the ships are left to rust That’s what the water gave us So lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow Pockets full of stones Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow Because they took your loved ones But returned them in exchange for you But would you have it any other way? Would you have it any other way? You couldnt have it any other way Because she’s a cruel mistress And a bargain must be made But oh, my love, don’t forget me While I let the water take me Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow Pockets full of stones Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow So lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow Pockets full of stones Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow
And its hard to write about being happy Cause the older I get I find that happiness is an extremely uneventful subject And there would be no grand choirs to sing No chorus could come in About two people sitting doing nothing But I must confess I did it all for myself I gathered you here to hide from some vast unnameable fear But the loneliness never left me I always took it with me But I can put it down in the pleasure of your company And there will be no grand choirs to sing No chorus will come in No ballad will be written It will be entirely forgotten And if tomorrow its all over At least we had it for a moment Oh, darling, things seem so unstable But for a moment we were able to be still And there will be no grand choirs to sing No chorus will come in No ballad will be written This will be entirely forgotten
And I had a dream About my old school And she was there all pink and gold and glittering I threw my arms around her legs Came to weeping Came to weeping And I heard your voice as clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange and so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night And the only solution was to stand and fight And my body was bruised and I was set alight But you came over me like some holy rite And although I was burning, youre the only light Only if for a night And the grass was so green against my new clothes And I did cartwheels in your honor Dancing on tiptoes My own secret ceremonials Before the service began In the graveyard doing handstands And I heard your voice as clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange and so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night And the only solution was to stand and fight And my body was bruised and I was set alight But you came over me like some holy rite And although I was burning, youre the only light Only if for a night My doe, my dear, my darling Tell me what all the sighing is about Tell me what all the sighing is about And I heard your voice as clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange and so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night Only if for a night Only if for a night Only if for a night Only if for a night Only if for a night Only if for a night Only if for a night

Ive been up all night, lets stay awake Push it further, you know Ill never break At some point in the party, I thought my heart was failing You said, Hey, youre okay; you seem to be still standing Flashes appeared at the corner of my eyes I saw the stars and I didnt ask why Heard the voices and caught my breath So close and yet so far from death So close and yet so far from death So close and yet so far from death Well, the feeling was always too much for me It always came too strong I wanted to get it right so badly that I always got it wrong So you keep pushing on You hope it wont be long Til you can find the child you were And find a way to get along Dont go blindly into the dark In every one of us shines the light of love Dont go blindly into the dark In every one of us shines the light of love Dont go blindly into the dark In every one of us shines the light of love Dont go blindly into the dark In every one of us shines the light of love And, oh, my little sister, when the drugs were wearing off I climbed into your bed and said, I think I did too much In some ways that was simpler, being too fucked up to see I didnt have to wake up to the world that was around me And now we are awake and it seems too much to take I want to close my eyes because I fear my heart will break I want to look away I want to look away I want to look away I must not look away Dont go blindly into the dark In every one of us shines the light of love Dont go blindly into the dark In every one of us shines the light of love Dont go blindly into the dark In every one of us shines the light of love Dont go blindly into the dark In every one of us shines the light of love Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-ah Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-ah Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-ah Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-ah Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-ah I want to look away I want to look away I want to look away I must not look away I must not look away I must not look away I must not look away I must not look away

Oh Lord, wont you leave me Leave me on my knees? Cause I belong to the ground now And it belongs to me And oh Lord, wont you leave me Leave me just like this? Cause I belong to the ground now I want no more than this How I long for the autumn The sun keeps burning me Every stone in this city keeps reminding me, oh Can you protect me from what I want? The lover I let in who left me so lost Mother, make me Make me a big tall tree So I can shed my leaves and let it blow through me Mother, make me Make me a big grey cloud So I can rain on you things I cant say out loud All these couples are kissing And I cant stand the heat I lost my shoes and left the party I wandered in the street I put my feet into the fountain The statues all asleep No use wishing on the water It grants you no relief Mother, make me Make me a bird of prey So I can rise above this, let it fall away Mother, make me Make me a song so sweet Heaven trembles, falling at my feet Oh Lord, wont you leave me Leave me on my knees?

Well, I didnt tell anyone, but a bird flew by Saw what Id done, he set up a nest outside And he sang about what Id become He sang so loud, sang so clear I was afraid all the neighbours would hear So I invited him in, just to reason with him I promised I wouldnt do it again But he sang louder and louder inside the house And no I couldnt get him out So I trapped him under a cardboard box Stood on it to make him stop I picked up the bird and above the din I said Thats the last song youll ever sing Held him down, broke his neck Taught him a lesson he wouldnt forget But in my dreams began to creep That old familiar tweet, tweet, tweet I opened my mouth to scream and shout I waved my arms and flapped about But I couldnt scream and I couldnt shout Couldnt scream and I couldnt shout I opened my mouth to scream and shout I waved my arms and flapped about But I couldnt scream and I couldnt shout The song was coming from my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth
Its the hardest thing Ive ever had to do To try and keep from calling you Well, can my dreams keep coming true? How can they? Cause when I sleep, I never dream of you As if the dream of you, it sleeps too But it never slips away It just gains its strength and digs its hooks To drag me through the day But Im caught I forget all that Ive been taught I cant keep calm, I cant keep still Pulled apart against my will Its the hardest thing Ive ever had to prove You turned to salt as I turned around to look at you Old friends have said, the books Ive read Say its the thing to do But its hard to see it when youre in it Cause I went blind for you Then you leave my head, crawl out the bed You subconscious solipsist And for those hours deep in the dark Perhaps you dont exist But Im caught I forget all that Ive been taught I cant keep calm, I cant keep still Pulled apart against my will And Im thrashing on the line Somewhere between Desperate and divine I cant keep calm, I cant keep still Persephone will have her fill But Im caught I forget all that Ive been taught I cant keep calm, I cant keep still Pulled apart against my will But Im caught I forget all that Ive been taught I cant keep calm, I cant keep still Pulled apart against my will
Lost in the fog, these hollow hills Blood running hot, night chills Without your love, Ill be So long and lost, are you missing me? Is it too late to come on home? Are all those bridges now old stone? Is it too late to come on home? Can the city forgive? I hear its sad song I need the clouds to cover me Pulling them down, surround me Without your love Ill be So long and lost, are you missing me? Is it too late to come on home? Are all those bridges now old stone? Is it too late to come on home? Can the city forgive? I hear its sad song Its been so long between the words we spoke Will you be there up on the shore, I hope You wonder why it is that I came home I figured out where I belong But its too late to come on home Are all those bridges now old stone? But its too late to come on home Can the city forgive? I hear its sad song
Seems that I have been held, in some dreaming state A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber Until I realize that it was you who held me under Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world And I could hear the thunder and see the lightning crack All around the world was waking, I never could go back Because all the walls of dreaming, they were torn wide open And finally it seemed that the spell was broken And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world Snow White is stitching up your circuit-boards Synapse slipping through the hidden door Snow White is stitching up your circuit-board No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world Snow Whites stitching up your circuit-boards Synapse slipping through the hidden door Snow Whites stitching up your circuit-board Synapse slipping through the hidden door
I was a heavy heart to carry My beloved was weighed down My arms around his neck My fingers laced to crown I was a heavy heart to carry My feet dragged across the ground And he took me to the river Where he slowly let me drown My love has concrete feet My loves an iron ball Wrapped around your ankles Over the waterfall Im so heavy, heavy Heavy in your arms Im so heavy, heavy Heavy in your arms And is it worth the wait? All this killing time? Are you strong enough to stand Protecting both your heart and mine? Who is the betrayer? Whos the killer in the crowd?

Blinded by the glare I was moving like I didnt care But it was more than I could bear You know I hoped Id see you there Staring out the window I could see into the soul of every passer by So many lives So many pairs of eyes A pure feeling Im invisible and magical If only for a moment A pure feeling Im scared to control it Stretching out my arms I let it comfort me Our bodies moving in the dark It takes the pain from me And then I am in love With everyone I see I keep on moving in the spaces where you used to be And the illusion starts to tear Let everybody stand and stare Cause now I have no fear I knew that this would end in tears Staring out the window I could see into the soul of every passer by So many lives So many pairs of eyes A pure feeling Im invisible and magical If only for a moment A pure feeling Im scared to control it Stretching out my arms I let it comfort me Our bodies moving in the dark It takes the pain from me And then I am in love With everyone I see I keep on moving in the spaces where you used to be Those strangers carry me Im lost; theyre finding me Im gone; theyre there with me But its not over The spaces in between They keep you far from me The emptiness; it means its not over Stretching out my arms I let it comfort me Our bodies moving in the dark It takes the pain from me And then I am in love With everyone I see I keep on moving in the spaces where you used to be Stretching out my arms I let it comfort me Our bodies moving in the dark It takes the pain from me And then I am in love With everyone I see I keep on moving in the spaces where you used to be
And the heart is hard to translate It has a language of its own It talks in tongues and quiet sighs In prayers and proclamations In the grand deeds of great men and the smallest of gestures In short shallow gasps But with all my education I can’t seem to command it And the words are all escaping, and coming back all damaged And I would put them back in poetry if I only knew how I can’t seem to understand it And I would give all this and heaven too I would give it all if only for a moment That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see Because I’ve been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all And it talks to me in tiptoes And it sings to me inside It cries out in the darkest night and breaks in the morning light But with all my education I can’t seem to command it And the words are all escaping, and coming back all damaged And I would put them back in poetry if I only knew how I can’t seem to understand it And I would give all this and heaven too I would give it all if only for a moment That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see Because I’ve been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all And I would give all this and heaven too I would give it all if only for a moment That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see Because I’ve been scrawling it forever, but it never makes sense to me at all No words Poor language It doesn’t deserve such treatment And all my stumbling phrases never amounted To anything worth this feeling All this heaven never could describe such a feeling as Im hearing Words were never so useful So I was screaming out a language that I never knew existed before

The conductor caught in slow motion The orchestra plays on Over and over; the same motion This work is never done The only thing thats certain Is your indecision I guess it must be working Cause you hit me with such precision Now the strings are breaking Their fingers run with blood But they keep on playing The cycle never stops Whos in control? Whos playing who? She wants to be amongst them Conducting them too She knows the song wont save her But what else can she do? She weeps just like a willow Shes playing for you Shes fragile and shes ferocious As the current flows through Shes a conductor caught in slow motion The orchestra plays on Over and over; the same motion This work is never done Now here comes the crescendo The music starts to swell And now its so ecstatic I know this part so well And then it goes staccato The notes were flying up Higher and higher But they never reach the top Whos in control? Whos playing who? Whos in control? Whos playing who? I am the orchestra The conductor too My heart is a concert hall And I filled it with you

Your songs remind me of swimming Which I forgot when I started to sink Dragged further away from the shore And deeper into the drink Sat on the bottom of the ocean A stern and stubborn rock Your songs remind me of swimming But somehow I forgot I was sinking, and now Im sunk I was drinking, and now Im drunk Your songs remind me of swimming But somehow I forgot I tried to remember the chorus I cant remember the verse Cause that song that sent me a swimming Is now the life jacket that burst Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor Sinkin like a siren that cant swim any more Your songs remind me of swimming But I cant swim anymore Pull me out the water, cold and blue I open my eyes and see that its you So Ill dive straight back in the ocean Yes Ill dive straight back in the ocean Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest Then cross my fingers And hope for the best Then all of a sudden, I heard a note It started in my chest, and ended in my throat, oh Then I realised Then I realised Then I realised I was swimming Yes, I was swimming And now Im swimming Yes, I am swimming Your songs remind me of swimming Which I forgot when I started to sink Your songs remind me of swimming Which I forgot when I started to sink Oh, your songs remind me of swimming Which I forgot when I started Your songs remind me of swimming Which I forgot when I started To sink

How to load this dataset directly with the datasets library:

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("huggingartists/florence-the-machine")

Dataset Structure

An example of 'train' looks as follows.

This example was too long and was cropped:

{
    "text": "Look, I was gonna go easy on you\nNot to hurt your feelings\nBut I'm only going to get this one chance\nSomething's wrong, I can feel it..."
}

Data Fields

The data fields are the same among all splits.

text: a string feature.

Data Splits

train	validation	test
173	-	-

'Train' can be easily divided into 'train' & 'validation' & 'test' with few lines of code:

from datasets import load_dataset, Dataset, DatasetDict
import numpy as np

datasets = load_dataset("huggingartists/florence-the-machine")

train_percentage = 0.9
validation_percentage = 0.07
test_percentage = 0.03

train, validation, test = np.split(datasets['train']['text'], [int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*train_percentage), int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*(train_percentage + validation_percentage))])

datasets = DatasetDict(
    {
        'train': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(train)}),
        'validation': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(validation)}),
        'test': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(test)})
    }
)
