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
