    This song completely does it for me.

      You do know of course that it is derived from paedophilic Pathan poem and the original intro line is "there is a boy across the river with a bottom like a peach, but alas I cannot swim"

      Yes, yes he is, he used to play a lot with her. Also, I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the bass and the banjo are Winston Marshall and Ted Dwane from Mumford & Sons.

      There would be no Mumford & Sons w/o Laura Marling. They were originally her backing band. She was engaged to Marcus Mumford and when they broke up the boys ditched and made it big in America. She is an amazing talent.

    The lyrics are VERY simular to an old Pathan love song called the Zahkmi Dil (The Wounded Heart) the chorus of which goes "There's a boy across the river with a bottom like a peach, but alas I cannot swim".....Coincidence? I think not.....
    too funny.
