Hard Luck Story Number 39

It happened all so quickly

I was too young

I had too much

Before I'd even begun

I touched the glittering prizes

I had them in my hand

But when I turned it down

You didn't understand

But I'm feeling much better now

I've only just begun

And soon I know my day will come

Don't get me wrong

It's not a hard luck story number 39

Just to hear my song on the radio

Was all I ever hoped

Soon realised, I couldn't cope

You can keep your hits

And your silver discs

I'll stick two fingers to fame

Don't cry for me

It's not a shame

It's not a hard luck story number 39
