Laura Marling - Typical Lyrics






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 of ten years it feels like a day.
And oh I 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 pitiless end.
And a politician's resonance rang through my mind.
Patriotic in one sense the other just blind.
Oh so many died, 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 typically shit thing to do.

I was so shallow to the one man'd 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.
Oh I watched him cry, a broken heart 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 its boring to hear, of another young truth
and what a typically shit thing to do.

I have felt heartbreak too and I know what it feels like.
I have felt heartbreak now you can leave me alone right.
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.

  9. i.... ....

    Aw crap, it's too short!!!! D:

    i.... ....

    just put it on loop :P

  10. M.... C....

    For some reason when I stare at this photo, I see Laura move but if I move closer I realise it's just a photo..

    M.... C....

    photo is in motion.. slowly goes up and down

  11. A.... ....

    New favourite.

  12. o.... ....

    This is beautiful

  13. P.... A....

    Check out the songs on my channel

  14. �.... �....

    star potential,GREAT!

  15. K.... W....

    She is the greatest female songwriter of this generation, and there are 10 dislikes.

  16. M.... H....

    One of her only piano songs? She is always so beautiful

  17. D.... R....

    No description necessary*

  18. D.... ....

    wow that means she was at least 16 sixteen when this was recorded..laura is amazing

  19. D.... ....

    is this gonna be on the new album???

  20. B.... M....

    I always forgot that this song exists and then take joy in having on repeat for a day and marvelling in how wonderful it is. The most talented musician of our time as far as I'm concerned. ' Laura and Charlie are the Byron or Keats of today' are my friend put it :D

  21. A.... ....

    it's track 4 off the My Manic and I EP, don't know were you'll find that though

  22. T.... ....

    I was hanging out after an open mic night with some of the other musicians, passing around instruments and jamming...and a girl picked up my guitar, and started playing this. It was beautiful, and I instantly became a fan. Every new song I hear by Laura just makes me a bigger fan =D.

  23. C.... H....

    Hands off she's mine !

  24. K.... ....

    heck, me too

  25. K.... ....

    from her album yolo

  26. h.... ....

    where is this song from? has it been released? Class

  27. s.... ....

    Cool song.

  28. J.... D....

    This song gets me everytime.

  29. j.... ....

    my only compliant is it is too short

  30. P.... M....

    Laura Marling is a fucking genius.

  31. t.... ....

    @bingleezawesome May well be as I quite like the odd one of hers. At least I listen with my ears.

  32. t.... ....

    Not one of her best. Quite boring.

  33. S.... ....

    Can not get enough of her, usually get bored of an artist after constantly listening to them, 3 years on and i cant stop!

  34. b.... ....

    This is my first time listening to anything by her, and the incredible part is that this song went by in what felt like a split second. It takes an amazing piece of music to suck you in so far and spit you back out with no recollection of the past three minutes except the music and the raw emotion.

  35. m.... ....

    @lrkjoyfulgirl yes, on Amazon.

  36. A.... S....

    i hear a bit of Leonard Cohen in this

  37. t.... ....

    This maybe is one of her best songs

  38. g.... ....

    i don't hear the guitar! a very unique Laura Marling song.
    i wonder if she's playing the piano.....

  39. M.... ....

    All hail the superior music race with the good taste.

  40. A.... ....

    @IngmarMountman Thanks for pointing out the obvious here that your the "2nd" dislike against 381 likes... idiot

  41. A.... S....

    some parts of this song sounds like Hallelujah

  42. w.... ....

    @IngmarMountman you, sir, are pathetic.

  43. M.... ....

    HARHARHARHAR 2nd DISLIKE TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOL MUAHAHAHAHAHA

  44. p.... ....

    i'm not lesbian but i feel so in love with Laura

  45. m.... ....

    really really cool

  46. N.... B....

    delicate, simply awesome!

  47. M.... S....

  51. M.... S....

    @Tessnesss shoulda been bout him he cheated on her too

  52. M.... S....

    @ThatWouldBeCareless marcus cheated on her what the hell

  53. T.... ....

    @Tessnesss Nahh, it's an old one, Marcus is new.

  54. E.... ....

    And we finally have a dislike. Just had to be 'that guy' i guess?

    What a typically shit thing to do.

  55. b.... ....

    Piano instead of guitar. not quite a typical Laura Marling's song, is it? :)

  56. P.... ....

    this is actually insane

  57. T.... R....

    Reckon this is about Marcus?

  58. T.... M....

    "What a typical shit thing to do."

  59. L.... B....

    EAR ORGASM. REPLAY X1000000.

  60. c.... ....

    A true real actual woman! Prod, poke, YES! She's NOT plastic! She IS indeed REAL! Humongous SMILE! :D

    Bless her for being a woman; for speaking from the heart; for being able to play the instrument named music; for being able to sing (where singing = the art of conveying from the heart through a voice and other resonating instruments).

    Bless her for not trying to be one of those beings that share this world trying to please and trying to draw attention, and are just fake! She's made my day!

  61. D.... R....

    @CarbonatedRain Good comment

  62. c.... ....

    Never stop writing and singing, Laura. <3

  63. 2.... ....

    @SsethTzeentach That and write her many songs about her amazingness

  64. M.... L....

    If only I'd heard this a few months earlier...

  65. 2.... ....

    I want to marry her.

  66. P.... E....

    why isn't this song on itunes..what the hell

  67. m.... ....

    sheet music? anyone? please!!!!! i have to learn to play this

  68. C.... ....

    This song makes me cry when I listen to it properly. How can she write lyrics like these, that touch so many people at such a young age? She's simply unbelievable and I am forever in awe of her.

  69. C.... ....

    Is this a new song,i've never heard it

  70. M.... P....

    Just at the very very first second, it blows our minds.

  71. M.... B....
