About This Track
According to the My Boy Builds Coffins Songfacts, this song was inspired by an actual incident that happened when Florence Welch was going out with a member of the punk band, The Ludes. She explained: “This was a song we wrote as a band – most of the others were written by me with one other person. It’s very literal. My boyfriend at the time, who was in The Ludes, was going to build a coffin for the cover of their EP, so he couldn’t take me to the cinema.”

wow what a thought to think about. It is cool, yes oneof these days a coffin will be made for each of us. The important thought is where will your spirit be while your body is in the ground. John said; For God so loved the earth He gave his only son to die on a few sticks of wood so that thru the son of God's sacrifice we can be accepted by God. -Just ask for that acceptance.-

For some reason my last.fm library station loves playing this song over just about every other one from Florence.. and I'd say its one of her weaker ones probably (comparitively speaking at least).
