Useless Magic

Useless Magic

Lyrics and Poetry

Summary

The perfect gift for fans of Florence + the Machine, with additional lyrics, poems and a new chapter of sermons

Songs can be incredibly prophetic, like subconscious warnings or messages to myself, but I often don't know what I'm trying to say till years later. Or a prediction comes true and I couldn't do anything to stop it, so it seems like a kind of useless magic.

'Pop's high priestess bares her soul in this candid collection of poems and lyrics' Observer

'A treasure . . . beautiful. Generous in its honesty, by the end you feel as though you have climbed into the colourful, and sometimes tortured, world of a passionate artist' i

'Makes the reader feel as though they're peeking into a private journal' Refinery29
