"Failed Christian" lyrics - 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
