Lletres: Laura Marling. Other. Typically Shit.

Can I let jealousy blind me today?

My oldest friend, and I blew her away

Just a few kind words, and all I could say

Was ?I?ve known you, what, 10 years and it feels like a day?



And I watched her cry

Torn apart at the hands of a child



You cannot use arrogance as something to depend

Condemned all religion to a pitiless end

And a politician?s resonance ran through my mind

Patriotic in one sense, in the other just blind



And I watched them cry

Torn apart at the hands of a child

I?ll keep on going, I?ve got nothing to lose

I gave up morals when I took up booze

And it?s boring to hear of another young you

What a typically shit thing to do



And I was so shallow to the one man who stuck around

Sunk so low that I nearly drowned

And I screamed of his heart when he wasn?t around

Consoled him recklessly, I knew he was done



Oh, he all but died

Torn apart at the hands of a child

And I?ll keep on going, I?ve got nothing to lose

I gave up morals when I took up booze

And it?s boring to hear of another young you

What a typically shit thing to do



And I have felt heartbreak too and I know what it feels like

And I have felt heartbreak now and I know that it hurts, right

I have felt loneliness and I know what it feels like

The ground is to swallow you up and you know what it hurts, right



And I?ll keep on going, I?ve got nothing to lose

I gave up morals when I took up booze

And it?s boring to hear of another young you

What a typically shit thing to do
