Giddy-up old boy it's time to go
Vous les vous savoir the love below
Brother, I've got more than you can take
But more than I can do to stay awake

I close my eyes
So I can dream of ways to keep you occupied
So I can lock you up we'll keep it classified
Alright, you're mine tonight, son
When I close my eyes

I can make you sorry when I want
Find some other house for you to haunt
Carry out your sentence in my head
All I have to do is go to bed

I close my eyes
So I can dream of ways to keep you occupied
So I can lock you up we'll keep it classified
Alright, you're mine tonight, son
When I close my eyes

Hide and seek, yellow ducky
Feeling weak or feeling lucky son

Who's got milk, the baby's crying
Shut 'em up, get 'em flying
Little kiddies bought and sold
Cos papa's got a brand new bag of gold

Tonight I'll dream of ways to keep you occupied
So I can lock you up we'll keep it classified
Alright, you're mine tonight, son
When I close my eyes
So right, I'll dream of ways to keep you occupied
Tonight I'll lock you up we'll call it classified
Alright, you're mine tonight, son
When I close my eyes

In fact, belittling others is almost always unnecessary, and for sure with regard to something subjective as tastes in music. 

Long Live RP and uplifting others whenever possible!

My goal is not to muddy the waters, but Florence can sing quite differently than her default mode. There is at least on piece played here that shows  quite clearly that she has more than one style. However, I have know women whose voices were pitched to the higher register  and it was no more an affectation that Robert Plant's is (Does anyone imagine that his normal speaking voice resembles his singing voice?)

Perhaps that means I should get myself one of their albums.

She is actually extremely stage-shy, and does not dress as hot for live gigs at ALL. Also a hard live act to catch. I hear she is a mom now. Bummer :)
