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?
