What Does It Take To Get Lucky - Richard Clapton[00:00:00]

Look at my face in the window[00:00:14]

Of that big Mercedes Benz[00:00:16]

I'm just another bum on the streets downtown[00:00:19]

I ain't worked since god knows when[00:00:21]

Each night in Bluesville I been hanging out[00:00:24]

With all the usual layabouts[00:00:29]

I lost my fight with the government[00:00:34]

They stole my life and my confidence[00:00:38]

Ain't had a job for so many years[00:00:52]

Slip sliding down in a big abyss[00:00:56]

So many times got a knife in the back[00:01:01]

That's how it goes on the wrong side of the tracks[00:01:06]

What does it take to get lucky[00:01:20]

When you've been living on the edge[00:01:25]

The price we pay to get happy[00:01:30]

Is way too high for an ordinary man[00:01:35]

What does it take to get lucky[00:01:40]

When you can't beat the government[00:01:44]

When they can smell your desperation[00:01:49]

Ain't got no money and no friends[00:01:54]

So many times I've tried to finally get it right[00:01:59]

Picked myself up again and got on with my life[00:02:04]

I worked my life away working for the basic wage[00:02:08]

When they were done with me[00:02:13]

I found myself out on the street[00:02:15]

What happened to the dream of everything they promised me[00:02:18]

Am I supposed to fade away and leave another vacant space[00:02:23]

Fade to gray and disappear[00:02:28]

Like I was never here[00:02:30]

If there's a god above[00:02:32]

I need a shot of love[00:02:34]

What does it take to get lucky[00:03:06]

We live from one day to the next[00:03:11]

The bankers and the politicians[00:03:16]

Are living high off the ordinary man[00:03:20]

What does it take to get lucky[00:03:25]

We try to make some sense of it[00:03:30]

They feed off all our desperation[00:03:35]

Driving us down to the bitter end[00:03:40]

We all just live our lives from one day to the next[00:03:44]

Pick ourselves up again and try to make amends[00:03:49]

There'll always be some guy holding up another sign[00:03:54]

You can't do this you can't do that[00:03:59]

And you'd just better pay your tax[00:04:01]

Ain't gonna live my life by the laws of church and state[00:04:04]

I'll keep on working for my independence day[00:04:08]

Break away and disappear ain't gonna live in fear[00:04:13]

If there's a god above I need a shot of love[00:04:18]
