The La's - Failure Lyrics

No you can't throw failure over your shoulder
If you don't look after - you gonna look back
No you can't hurry forward, it's holding you back
In the grip of an onset you run for a cover
To hide from your mother and your sister, your brother
Through you long to tell of the stone that remains
You can't move a muscle
You're wrapped up in chains
So you wait in your room - bound to the doom
To talk with the skeleton in the closet
So you waited for days
And you walked in the maze and you lay on your bed
With your head in a daze
And high in a corner in a cupboard on a shelf
You turn a corner and walk into yourself
And you check your condition
And your shape and your health
So you open the door with a look on your face,
Your hands in your pockets and your family to face
And you go downstairs and you sit in your place
