When I was an astronaut I didn't have my boots, When I was a coal miner I didn't have the news, When I was a record store I didn't have the blues, I travel light and that's the life for me. He doesn't care where else he goes, He's not gonna take any extra clothes nor extra shoes to hide his feet The ground is dirt, the dirt is sweet When I go Londontown I'll stand under a rock, Until I know all the time it takes to pack a clock, Then I'll flip it over, close the key, and swallow the lock. I travel light and that's the life for me. He doesn't take his spoon or fork, He's seen too many eating in New York, He'll use his hands to pick and eat, The fruit he finds, he'll find it sweet When I was a waitress, I gave away my tips When I was a call-girl, I gave away my hips When I ran the kissing booth, I gave away my lips, I travel light and that's the life for me She lives a life like abandoned wind Elemental wife, fortune is her friend, I smile on a planet and a river made of light, she's just a pebble on a waterfall tonight When i go to Boston I stand around in jeans And save the cash for Levi’s by selling black-market baked beans Denim's what I like to wear it has durable seams I travel light and that's the life for me She just a genius without a thinking cap She never pays the rent, she's funny like that I don't know what she's on, she's here and gone Rides a welcome mat on a jungle cat Fur's and silver chairs and shiny things are just a fuss We'll eat all peanuts that we steal from the circus We'll count the all stars and go to sleep under the bus We'll travel light and that's the life for us
i simply adore this. johnny is the most beauitful person ever. there was a guy who looked like him opposite me on the train the other day and i practically melted. seeing him at glastonbury - lots of fan girling to be done, that's fo sho
Ich sitze da, mit einem Lächeln auf den Lippen, das sich immer mehr ausbreitet, und mein ganzes Gesicht in Anspruch nimmt. Ich LIEBE es, wenn sie zusammen singen!!!
from Marcus Mumford's laugh at the start to Laura's sheepish smile and Johnny's perfect guitar playing, this is utterly and most wonderfully perfect. :-)
ahh i actually can't stop listening to this songg. apparently they are going out. mosttttt amazing couple they would have the coolest most beautiful babies. getting a little ahead of myself i guess... hahah. well yea. best songg.

ils sont adorable ensemble..
oh my god, how beautiful is johnny flynn? couldn't take my eyes off his lips
Johnny Flynn in my heart forever and ever and ever and ever!
When I was an astronaut I didn't have my boots,
When I was a coal miner I didn't have the news,
When I was a record store I didn't have the blues,
I travel light and that's the life for me.
He doesn't care where else he goes, He's not gonna take any extra clothes nor extra shoes to hide his feet
The ground is dirt, the dirt is sweet
When I go Londontown I'll stand under a rock,
Until I know all the time it takes to pack a clock,
Then I'll flip it over, close the key, and swallow the lock.
I travel light and that's the life for me.
He doesn't take his spoon or fork, He's seen too many eating in New York,
He'll use his hands to pick and eat, The fruit he finds, he'll find it sweet
When I was a waitress, I gave away my tips
When I was a call-girl, I gave away my hips
When I ran the kissing booth, I gave away my lips,
I travel light and that's the life for me
She lives a life like abandoned wind Elemental wife, fortune is her friend,
I smile on a planet and a river made of light, she's just a pebble on a waterfall tonight
When i go to Boston I stand around in jeans
And save the cash for Levi’s by selling black-market baked beans
Denim's what I like to wear it has durable seams
I travel light and that's the life for me
She just a genius without a thinking cap She never pays the rent, she's funny like that
I don't know what she's on, she's here and gone
Rides a welcome mat on a jungle cat
Fur's and silver chairs and shiny things are just a fuss
We'll eat all peanuts that we steal from the circus
We'll count the all stars and go to sleep under the bus
We'll travel light and that's the life for us
Baby Laura was 18 here! Awh!

Oh, yes.
whistling solos! weeeeee
marcus's insane laugh hahah
Better than the original!
Well .... no, it's not 😂 - but definitively a sweet and (maybe a bit too) respectful cover! ❤
that hyena laugh at the beginning is funny!
Seriously his laugh xD
PERFECT SONG PERFECT PEOPLE
I'm English and it's Diane Cluck. You know the American singer-songwriter who sung this song with Jeffrey Lewis.
haha i love it when they're whistling and he's not quite getting it right (oh wow that rhymed..) and he does this smile like 'oh shit' at 1:35
LAURA MARLING IS PERFECT.
i love this song from them! but i can't find the original!
Well Mr Johnny Flynn, I haven't heard that accent since Syd Barrett's work.
Laura's vocalizing has grown so much over the last 30 or so months. She's (they're) great together here and so lovely. Thanks. Where have I been?
这样真好
HOLY CRAP IT'S BACK?! THIS WAS TAKEN DOWN FOR YEARS!!
