Typical Songtext
von Laura Marling

Again 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, ten years? It feels like a day"

And, oh, watched her cry
Torn apart at the hands of a child

And again I used arrogance as something to depend
And condemned all religion to a pitiless end
And a politician's resonance rang through my mind
Patriotic in one sense, the other just blind

And, oh, so many die
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 you
And it's boring to hear of another young truth
And what a typically shit thing to do


And I was so shallow to the one man that 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 you were down

And, oh, watch him cry
A broken heart at the hands of a child
And I′ll keep on going, I've got nothing to lose
And I gave up morals when I took up you
And it′s boring to hear of another young truth
And 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 you can leave me alone, right?
And I have felt loneliness and I know what it feels like

But I kept on going, I had nothing to lose
And I gave up morals when I took up booze
And it's boring to hear of another young truth
And what a typically shit thing to do
