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

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 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

It's the only life I know

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 like kicking in the gutter and wishing I was lucky

Wishing I was lucky wishing I was lucky

Wishing I was lucky

Hey son go hey son go to the city

Hey son go hey son go to the city
