Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
What could the reason be?

Talking to myself at stations
Slipping in the pouring rain
Ripped my new shirt
Pocket with a hole and
Chasing all the coins
Rolling down the drain
Everything you said was hazy
You called me sad, lost and lazy
Scratched my records and slapped my face
You left no clue
I'm blue

Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
What could the reason be?

Lying in my bed for hours
Rolling up and feeling down
Burying my head in the space you left
And I'm trying on the bra that I found
I couldn't see the signs for ages
You ran off with my heart and wages
Your gone - quit me
Stray dog - bit me
Left hook - hit me - I'm down

Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
What could the reason be?
