from the songs album A Spanner In The Work
Lady Luck?
Here I am on time?
Proppin' up the bar?
with a glass of wine?
Friday night?
and I'm all spruced up and fine?
I ain't goin' nowhere?
Lady Luck?
Why don't you pull up a chair?
And bring your shine right wisdom?
Darlin' over here?
Your Gaelic humor?
And your pious smile?
All the cats'll be laugin' tonight?
Now you may say it's a funny old world?
You may say that the game ain't fair?
Is there a plot or do you improvise?
Or maybe you don't even care?
Lady Luck?
Ain't you the fickle kind?
Why are some folks lucky?
While the rest are tryin'?
You keep on playin'?
It's still a mystery?
You're laced with a touch?
of inconsistancy?
So why don't you give us all a break?
Make us all rich healthy and fine?
Five months holidays and a four hour week?
And a horse that wins all the time?
Lady Luck?
Hear the mandolins?
Kind of makes you wonder?
How it might have been?
There go all?
The funny place I've got?
Back on the street again?
Lady Luck?
Yeah, it's late I know?
Allow me to buy you one more folderol?
And tell me something?
I've been longin' to hear?
It's gotta get better next year?
'Cause I've seen some rainy days?
My wedding suits are frayed and torn?
But now the sun comes shining through?
I've cried in my beer too long?
Lady Luck, Lady Luck?
Don't push me over?
When I can't stand up, oh yeah?
Sure it's a funny old world?
Sure it's a funny old world
