Laura Marling - Flicker And Fail Lyrics
He took a bus to meet me in a bar in a Tuscan hill
Oh a sight I'd never seen, I believe in God still
But you wouldn't be able to stop me if I feel like running away
Wouldn't be able to stop me if I didn't want to stay
And on the late swaying trees
It fell its fiercest on the skulls of the willingly deceived
They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is
They put money in their hearts and God
Said he'd been sleeping lonely, spending nights under the stars
Little darling, we're all lonely, we don't all show our scars
It's my heart, and my burden, and I would never bring you down like that
My heart, my burden, I would never bring you down with me
And it hammered and it raged on us unwillingly
And the believers were forewarned, and they ran into the storm
And watched the earth's light flicker and fail
Watched the earth's light flicker and fail
Flicker and, flicker and fail
They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is
They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is
They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is
They put money in their hearts and God

Laura Marling Flicker And Fail Comments
Her dad wrote this song :)
the eye we all live in closed .
What can you say?
need to get my hands on a copy with the bonus songs
Well said. Good for the brain too.
Laura Marling . She is so good at what she does . And what she does is difficult to do . She is very good for the heart .
but better!!!
she is incredible live. sounds exactly like the album versions
everything about her is beautiful
That is amazing. I would probably sit there and sob if I were to see her live.
saw her live. she has extraordinary vocals. felt guilty for spending so little on the ticket. star-quality.
Thank you for your kind words. Tell me is there somone close in your life who you resent who is like what you accuse me of ? For all you know I might be some profound abnormally aware human being as you describe,, I'm not, and neither,,,, ahh, now I get it,,, only room for one if us isn't there hey :)) If we make decisions about people from what they write you are an ignorant loudmouth... and no I DONT think she has the recognition she deserves
You arse is where YOU think from
Why are you the way you are? Don't pretend to be some profound, abnormally aware human being. She's already appreciated. She won a solo-artist award for her second album. Second. And she's only, what, 22. Give me a break.
"Maybe after she dead" my ass.
She is a tour de force,, real deal,,, she is so so good,,,,, reckin she will be appreciated in about 20 years time, maybe after she dead.peeps
No, before then -- she's appreciated now!
I feel positive vibes...
In every dimensions it's great song!
Greetings from Poland! :)
Why even two dislikes!
Yup love me then leave me is her song
THis is about as good as Rambling man, if not better imo
I love the guitar in this song. Beautiful.
00:40 dayumm, ure hot girl! :D
She's the female Tallest Man on Earth... just kidding, but seriously she's good
I'm a huge Laura fan, and I respect her in her own right of course, but this song sounds like Hejira-era Joni, who Laura herself has named as an influence. It's not a bad thing, but genre etymology. Don't get butthurt.
dude its a figure of speech, get over your self
They're full of guilt.
I just picked up the 7" of this for Record Store Day earlier, it's lovely. :-)
haha omg I think that was the night I went to see her at the sage
Amazing woman...best of the british female music artist..
Every time I listen to this, when she says 'watched the earth's light flicker and fail' I totally forget where I am, what I'm doing, what I'm thinking - she's just the.bees.knees.
Around me indie artists have mainstreamed and altered their music for the masses. But marling still stays the same. And I like to think its for me :)
when she hits the high notes, her voice reminds me of Joan Baez. Beautiful.
"they put money in their hearts, and God where their mouth is..." love that part!
Aha, she must stop :D
This song is really growing on me. Her voice is hypnotic. <3
Don't smoke Laura......
@SinisterDevilCheese I went to see her at Bristol cathedral, She was so amazing there too!
"When I get to heaven and see my first angel, it'll be her wings that will make me gasp--I've already seen the most beautiful face in the world." At 2:20 she breaks my heart. If only, If only, If only.
@SinisterDevilCheese :) that cathedral is the most powerful building I have ever seen, and here in Milan nobody sings and plays in churches ..what a pity
she's just so purely beautiful at 0:58, I saw her playing this song in Liverpool at the Anglican Cathedral ..damn that night was perfect
think it was her dads tune??
she is not joni mitchell. she is laura marling. not that being joni mitchell is a bad thing, but it's like how every man of folk is called "the next bob dylan" ... why can't they just... be?
How could this not make it? It would definitely have been one of my favorites from the new record.
Very Joni Mitchell
Gosh you don't know how much I thank you for uploading this!
Speechless.... oO
ahhh she's very joni mitchell <3<3
I prefer the earlier version of this song (Looking Back) but this is still fantastic. Those harmonies at the end, ugh....
I'm glad she recorded this song, ive seen a great live clip of it :)
