Lyrics
Wanting to call you (yeah)
Meaning to call you
Why don't you listen? (yeah)
I've been wanting to call you on the telephone
Except Ivar been far too busy so
I'm doing fine with my peace of mind
Except, I go ta' pieces, I got pieces missing
Now is it all in vain?
I'm trying to get you off your mind but i'm a failure
If it wasn't for the rain i'd walk slowly
To The Bar every day on my best behaviour
Wanting to pen you a little note
The rat's been in my kitchen so
I don't know but but I, i've been told
Seeing is believing
Is it all in vain?
I'm trying to get you off your mind but i'm a failure
If it wasn't for the rain i'd walk slowly
To The Bar every day, come on man
Take it away yeah!
Is it all in vain? i'm trying to get you off your mind
If it wasn't for the pain i'd be walking man i'd be blind
I'd be walking like-a blind leading blind
And a drunken sailor...
Is it all in vain?
Vain, Vain
I'm going out my mind
It's all in Vain, vain, vain
Or vain, vain, vain
I'm a failure
Vain, vain and i'm
So vain that i'm a failure
Now it's time to go back out
I can't abide this penned in feeling
Laughing at fools saying i'm from The 'Pool
When i'm really from some dump near Wigan
Man It's all in vain
Going outta my mind
Vain, fail, fail, failure
Is it all in vain?
Fail, Fail, Fail, Fail, Failure
Fail, fail, fail, fail, fail failure
Yeah baby take a look at those shoes
Yeah man take a look at those shoes
Hey baby, hey baby! hey baby...
Is it all in vain? Is it all in vain?
Ï'm a failure...
