Manic Street Preachers
Failure Bound
Provincial Lolitas sprawling in high heels
Untamed natures dies
Failure bound and in your eyes
See the prams they push around
Benefits and drugs are found
Sad-eyed, lonely, failure bound
Ashen-faced skin, failure bound
And the boys tattooed and jeweled
Failure bound and muscled
The skin of tragedy, forlorn and dead
Eternal rut with no prospects
I listen to money singing
It's like looking down from long French windows on a provincial town
The slums, the canal, the church is ornate and mad
In the evening sun it is intensely sad
Failure bound
Failure bound
Provincial Lolitas sprawling in high heels
Untamed nature dies
Failure bound, in your eyes
See the prams they push around
Benefits and drugs are found
Sad-eyed, lonely, failure bound
Ashen-faced skin, failure bound
And the boys tattooed and jeweled
Failure bound and muscled
The skin of tragedy, forlorn and dead
Eternal rut with no prospects
I listen to money singing
It's like looking down from long French windows on a provincial town
The slums, the canal, the church is ornate and mad
In the evening sun it is intensely sad
Failure bound
Failure bound
Provincial Lolitas sprawling in high heels
Untamed nature dies
Failure bound and in your eyes
See the prams they push around
Benefits and drugs are found
Sad-eyed, lonely, failure bound
Ashen-faced skin, and failure bound
Failure bound
