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 me
so it grieves me
grabs me everyday

will it bleed thru?
does it burn you?
got to take us ever low

take, us, take us ever low
no, other, no other chance i know

am i thinking?
am i drinking?
wrapped in me today

so you're scheming
still you're dreaming
all you have and plan you fail

all, you, all you have you fail
i, put, i put my life up for sale

cause i am no good
(i am no good)
i am no one
(i am no one)
no, i am no good

leave it all down
i give all now
full of earth, i agree

does it create?
like a headache?
got you on your hands and knees

on, your, on your hands and knees
now, i, now i fall in need

cause 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 good

now, i, now i fall indeed
