The Proclaimers - Lady Luck
I got some bills this morning
They tumbled through the door
I counted every penny but
The bills still came to more
And printed in the paper
For Pisces it did say
'If you would just be bolder
Then this might be your day'
It said, 'Lady Luck apologizes
For the way she's been behavin'
And she promises she'll change'
'If you don't want to know her, she'll understand
But if you'd like to take her hand
She could be back at your command'
So I ran round the corner
The bookies there I entered
Put ten quid on a mare
From a stud in Kildare
But though the jockey beat her
In Belgium they will eat her
The tannoy began to rip
As I tore up the slip
It said, 'Lady Luck apologizes
For the way she's been behavin'
And she promises she'll change'
'If you don't want to know her, she'll understand
But if you'd like to take her hand
She could be back at your command'
I met a girl this evening
And I began to think
That I might get her drunk
But she matched me drink for drink
So when she drew the curtains
I felt success was certain
But as she kicked me out
She spoke in the third person
Lady Luck apologizes
For the way she's been behavin'
And she promises she'll change
If you don't want to know her, she'll understand
But if you'd like to take her hand
She could be back at your command
