Laura Marling - Failure

Lyrics;
He used to be a singer in a rock & roll band,
He would write the songs & I would tremble at his hand,
But oh lala,
He lost poetic ethic & his songs they were pathetic,
& he's a failure now.
& he used to be the life & soul of everyone around,
You'd never catch him looking up & never see him down,
But oh lala,
He couldn't raise a smile, not for a while,
& 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.
& if it comes to the rain just be glad you will smile again,
Because so many don't & so many go unamed.
& people walk right past me shouting their exclaims,
The prechear pushes me aside & asks to wash my sins,
I said no lala,
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 lala,
I gave up something & I gave it up for nothing,
& 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,
& if it comes to the rain just be glad you'll smile again,
Cause so many don't & so many go unamed.

It's been something like 8 month since I began to listen to this woman (and every day since) and I still can't get tired of any of her songs, it's like the best crush ever; then I grabbed my chance to go and see her in Liverpool as a present for my 18th birthday and I definitely fell in love with England and now I'm sure that I will go there after I've finished highschool. I happen to almost cry when I listen to songs like Alas I cannot Swim, which I believe to be one of her best ones ..damn! :)

Laura Marling makes me cry almost every time i listen to her. Her lyrics are perfect, and too amazingly meaningful.
