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 My best friend wrote and told me so Ha 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 was wishing I was lucky Hey son go, hey son go, to the city
