Failure lyrics

Artist  : Laura Marling 
Song : Failure



 Send "Failure" Ringtone to your Cell 

 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, he's a failure
now



And 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

'Cause so many don't and so many go unnamed



People push right past me shouting their
exclaims

A preacher pushes me aside and asked to wash my
sins

I said no, la, la, if he made me in his image

Then he's 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, la, I gave up something and I gave it
up for nothing

And I am 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 unnamed
