Failed Christian Songtext

von Nick Lowe

I'm a failed Christian
I don't go to church
I smoke and I drink
And I lie and I curse

It never got to me
Your sermon and all
You talked and talked
About nothing at all

I'm a failed Christian
Failed Christian

I've got two recollections
Taking the collections
And tears when the choir
Sang in harmony
It scared me half to death
I swore as I left
With an inside pocket full
Of change and memories

I'm a failed Christian
Failed Christian

I'm a failed Christian
I've got my own church
I pray with my soul
To this great universe
All over the world
The bloods on their hands
Religious instruction
I can't understand

I'm a failed Christian,
Failed Christian

I'm going to meet my maker
A firm believer
Of spirit in music
There's a prayer in a song
I'm a failed Christian
And if I go under
Then you're coming with me
That much I can tell

I'm a failed Christian
Failed Christian

I'm a failed Christian
I don't go to church
I smoke and I drink
And I lie and I curse
