Wishing I Was Lucky

I was living in a world of make believe

When my best friend wrote and told me

That there may be a job in the city

And you never told me

He would dream about another scheme

About another sordid hall of dreams

About a man who's king of industry

He would swear by his mouth almighty

He would buy the best

But never something new

And he never told me

I like kicking in the gutter and

Wishing I was lucky

Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky

Oh I like kicking in the gutter

Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky

It's the only life I know

Lie, lie, lie is all you ever do

To make me want to push on through

Cry, cry, cry cry is all I ever do

Say that's how you want to make me push on through

I like kicking in the gutter and

Wishing I was lucky

Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky

Oh I like kicking in the gutter

Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky

My best friend wrote and told me so

He said that there may be a job in the city

I like kicking in the gutter and

Wishing I was lucky

Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky

I was wishing I was lucky

Hey son go, hey son go, to the city
