Lyrics

(They you remember last week I promised to tell you today how to become a space cadet and get your official class ring and your shoulder patch? Well, we're not quite ready. Okay?)
Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
What can the reason be?
Talking to myself at stations
Slipping in the pouring rain
Ripped my new shirt
Pocket with a hole and
Chasing all the coins
Rolling down the drain
Everything you said was hazy
You called me sad, lost and lazy
Scratched my records and slapped my face
You left no clue
I'm blue
(I'm blue)
Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
What can the reason be?
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Lying in my bed for hours
Rolling up and feeling down
Burying my head in the space that you left
And I'm trying on the bra that I found
I couldn't see the signs for ages
You ran off with my heart and wages
Your gone - quit me
Stray dog - bit me
Left hook - hit me - I'm down
Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
What can the reason be?
(Oooh, ah yay)
Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
What can the reason be?
Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
What can the reason be?
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? He hee ...
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? He hee ...
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? He hee ...
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? He hee ...
Why? Why? Why? Why? He hee ...
