Failed Christian - 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 a 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 beleiver

Of spirit in music

Theres a prayer in a song

I’m a Failed Christian

And if I’m go under

Them you’re coming with me

That much I can’t 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
