Laura Marling - Failure lyrics
[Laura Marling - Failure lyrics]
He used to be a singer in
A rock and roll band
He would write the songs and
I'd tremble at his hand but oh, la la
He lost poetic ethic
And his songs were pathetic
And he's a failure now
He used to be the life
And soul of everyone around
You'd never catch him looking up
And never see him down but oh, la la
He couldn't raise a smile
No, not for a while and he's a failure now
Don't cry, child
You've got so much more to live for
Don't cry, child
You've got something I would die for
And if it comes to the rain
Just be glad you'll smile again
Because so many don't and so many go unnamed
People push right past me
Shouting their disclaims
A preacher pushes me aside and
Asks to wash my sins i said no, la la
If he made me in his image
Then he's a failure too
I used to need a couple
People keep my head down
Now I need a whole lot more
To keep me on the ground but oh, la la
I gave up something and I
Gave it up for nothing and I'm a failure now
Don't cry, child
You've got so much more to live for
Don't cry, child
You've got something I would die for
And if it comes to the rain
Just be glad you'll smile again
Because so many don't and so many go unnamed
A rock and roll band
He would write the songs and
I'd tremble at his hand but oh, la la
He lost poetic ethic
And his songs were pathetic
And he's a failure now
He used to be the life
And soul of everyone around
You'd never catch him looking up
And never see him down but oh, la la
He couldn't raise a smile
No, not for a while and he's a failure now
Don't cry, child
You've got so much more to live for
Don't cry, child
You've got something I would die for
And if it comes to the rain
Just be glad you'll smile again
Because so many don't and so many go unnamed
People push right past me
Shouting their disclaims
A preacher pushes me aside and
Asks to wash my sins i said no, la la
If he made me in his image
Then he's a failure too
I used to need a couple
People keep my head down
Now I need a whole lot more
To keep me on the ground but oh, la la
I gave up something and I
Gave it up for nothing and I'm a failure now
Don't cry, child
You've got so much more to live for
Don't cry, child
You've got something I would die for
And if it comes to the rain
Just be glad you'll smile again
Because so many don't and so many go unnamed
