Failure
Lyricist:Laura Beatrice 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, 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
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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
