Failure

Failure - Laura Marling

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 laa

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 laa

He couldn't raise a smile oh 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

'Cause so many don't

And so many go unamed

People push right past me shouting their exclaims

A preacher pushes me a side

And asked to wash my sins i said no la laa

If he made me in his image then hes a failure too

And i used to need a couple o people keep my head down

Now i need a whole

Lot more to keep me on the ground but oh la laa

I gave up something

And i gave it up for nothing and i am 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

'Cause so many don't

And so many go unamed
