Failure Factory Songtext
von Billy Liar

The only thing that I learnt at high school was how to take a punch
I′d keep my head down in the corridors as we walked to lunch
You'll learn pretty fast not to change your facial expression
In case a smile or a sneer or a glance could be open to interpretation

It was a failure factory for you and me
It was a failure factory for you and me


Someone burned down the primary school while we were in class
A hundred of us watched it happen but nobody grassed
You′ll learn pretty fast how to manage your expectation
If you get your hopes up, you'll be heading for a bad situation

It was a failure factory for you and me
It was a failure factory for me and

You're the one who put me through hell
But our lives are leading to a holding cell

It was a failure factory for you and me
