Lady Luck - The Proclaimers

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 apologises

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…»

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

She said: «Lady Luck…»
