Manic Street Preachers – Failure Bound lyrics

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, failure bound

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, failure bound

Failure bound
