Patricia Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star
And I have to tell you something
I'm still afraid of the dark
But you take my hand in your hand
From you the flowers grow
And do you understand with every seed you sow
You make this cold world beautiful?
[Pre-Chorus]
You told me all doors are open to the believer
I believe her, I believe her, I believe her
You told me all doors are open to the believer
I believe her, I believe her, I believe her
[Chorus]
Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh
Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh
[Verse 2]
Well, you're a 'real man', and you do what you can
You only take as much as you can grab with two hands
With your big heart, you praise God above
But how's that working out for you, honey?
Do you feel loved?
[Pre-Chorus]
She told me all doors are open to the believer
I believe her, I believe her, I believe her
Do you feel loved? Do you feel loved?
She told me all doors are open to the believer
I believe her, I believe her, I believe her
Do you feel loved?
[Chorus]
Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh
Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh
[Outro]
I drink too much coffee and think of you often
In a city where reality has long been forgotten
And are you afraid? 'Cause I'm terrified
But you remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love
It's such a wonderful thing to love
It's such a wonderful thing to love
It's such a wonderful thing to love
It's such a wonderful thing
It's such a wonderful thing to love
It's such a wonderful thing to love
It's such a wonderful thing to love
It's such a wonderful thing to love
It's such a wonderful thing

In June 2015, Florence chose Smith’s book, Just Kids, as part of the Between Two Books selection for that month.
In December 2016, she read a letter penned by Smith at a Letters Live event, describing it as “one of [her] favourite letters”.
What did Florence + the Machine say about "Patricia"?
“Patricia” is actually a little tribute to Patti Smith, but also a little bit about these matriarchal ideas, perhaps the damage that more toxic masculinity can do. I was looking at Patti Smith as a kind of matriarch – as a strong woman – and I was trying to follow in her footsteps.
