failure bound

Manic Street Preachers

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

I listen to money singing
It's like looking down from long french windows
On a provincial town
The slums, the canals, the church
Ornate and mad
In the evening sun it is intensely sad

Failure Bound
