Florence - Drumming Song Lyrics

Artist: Florence

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Electronic

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That throws me to the ground
I swear that you should hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

I ran to a tower where the church bells chime
I hoped that they would clear my mind
They left a ringing in my ear
But that drum's still beating loud and clear

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell


As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder


I run to the river and dive straight in
I pray that the water will drown out the din
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out

I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole
Till there's nothing left inside my soul
As empty as that beating drum
But the sound has just begun

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

    This song is so amazing, I haven't stopped listening to it in days. Her voice is haunting and magical. I was listening to this song on my Ipod today and was in a dream state (this song has that effect on me!) - I bumped into my ex-boyfriend while listening to this song and felt it even more. It was a spin out. I can really relate to the lyrics - the song just beautifully expresses that feeling that someone gives you, it's quite rare.

    If anyone is familiar with Doctor Who then this song has a particular coolness. His childhood friend and now evil counterpart, The Master, hears a drumming beat in his head that never stops. There is a video someone put together with clips from the show. So, that's what runs through my head when I hear it. Great song!

    Tremendous! This and 'Howl' are my favourites (at the moment at least) - though the entire album is amazing! She should have won the Mercury!
