Poor Old Lu - I Am No Good Lyrics
This song offended some. Not the music, of course, but the title and lyrics. The notion of "I Am No Good" is not particularly popular in a society where we are constantly told to "believe in ourselves" and to "stick up for your rights". Even among believers there can be a difficult quandry with this. The truth is, any good that is in any of us comes from Jesus Christ. Any worth that we have in this life is from Him and Him alone. That said, I personally like this song very much. It's different, that's for sure. It has light jazz overtones. The arrangement is slightly odd, but it all works. Heck, this song was even fun in concert!We've already touched on the lyrical content, I suppose. The dominant concept in this song, as the title might suggest, is that "I Am No Good". There is a progression in the song of self-reliance, the first few verses, to the final line, "now I fall indeed". That's the progression that we all need. Amen.so it seized meso it grieves megrabs me everydaywill it bleed thru?does it burn you?got to take us ever lowtake, us, take us ever lowno, other, no other chance i knowam i thinking?am i drinking?wrapped in me todayso you're schemingstill you're dreamingall you have and plan you failall, you, all you have you faili, put, i put my life up for salecause i am no good(i am no good)i am no one(i am no one)no, i am no goodleave it all downi give all nowfull of earth, i agreedoes it create?like a headache?got you on your hands and kneeson, your, on your hands and kneesnow, i, now i fall in needcause i am no good(i am no good)i am no one(i am no one)no, i am no good(i am no good)cause i am no good(i am no good)i am no one(i am no one)no, i am no goodnow, i, now i fall indeed
