That hard, cruel, hostile town
There’s no place you’d want to fail
If somewhere you were to fail

Success at any cost
If fade the same and fall
If fade the same and fall
But even there I did not think of
Someone I should have thought of

She was my fabulous friend
I could but be impressed
I could but be impressed
I wish I’d been hers too
What good does wishing do?
What good does wishing do?

I was born afraid
I miss her to this day
For me and only me
My concern it was for me
My concern it was for me

How am I to accept?
I could show such thoughtlessness
I could show such thoughtlessness
I can’t stop thinking of
The person I did not think of

I’m not brave
I’m not special
I’m not any of those things
I’m not any of those things

This guilt that I do feel
I deserve to always feel
Fully deserve to never not feel

    My Interpretation:This is my favourite song by The Field Mice. I love this song! Every time I hear it I have to press repeat and listen to it again, before I go on to the next song. So I was quite upset to find the lyrics that were posted didn’t resemble what I heard at all. Here’s a more accurate interpretation of the lyrics:

    That hard, cruel, hostile tone
    There’s no place you’d want to fail
    If some where you were to fail

    Success at any cost
    If fade the same and fall
    If fade the same and fall
    But even there I did not think of
    Someone I should have thought of

    She was my fabulous friend
    I could but be impressed
    I could but be impressed
    I wish I’d been hers too
    What good does wishing do?
    What good does wishing do?

    I was born afraid
    I miss her to this day
    For me and only me
    My concern it was for me
    My concern it was for me

    How am I to accept?
    I could show such thoughtlessness
    I could show such thoughtlessness
    I can’t stop thinking of
    The person I did not think of

    I’m not brave
    I’m not special
    I’m not any of those things
    I’m not any of those things

    This guilt that I do feel
    I deserve to always feel
    Fully deserve to never not feel
