lyrics

Verse 1

Low Life, No Wife
Thinking oh what a pretty world
Spineless, drunk mess, cowering like a girl
Got a little bit of luck, got a little bit of life to help me now
If you want a bit of luck, if you want a bit of life come with me now


Chorus

Lone, young, hopeless
Tried to build a tabernacle
Top of your voice now choose between the ones you love
This is life’s scam, so what’s your life plan?
It's never too late to go and hook up with your old clan
Brewing bad weather, so go tie your tether safely to a post
Before you kneel before the Holy Ghost
And if you want a bit of luck get yourself a bigger life
Part the clouds, embrace the warm light


Verse 2

Blank face, no place
Howling at the moon
Lost soul in a black hole, whistling out of tune
Got a little bit of luck, got a little bit of life to help me now
If you want a bit of luck, if you want a bit of life come with me now


Chorus

Lone, young, drunk mess
Gonna lose another battle
Top of your voice now
Think about the things you’ve done
You pull your own scams, is that your life plan?
Trying to buy back into the game with your old hand
That’s a bad fella, so go shine your leather shoes
Wipe the booze off and dance with your new love
And if you want a bit of luck get yourself a bigger life
Part the clouds, embrace the moonlight


Bridge

Black shirt white tie I know
Come on baby won’t you take me home
Black eyes, no smile, oh no
Come on baby won’t you take me
Come one baby, oh, oh


Verse 3

Half wit, don’t fit, stuck inside a shell
Crap thief, no teeth, on his way to hell
Got a little bit of luck, got a little bit of life to help me now
If you want a bit of luck, if you want a bit of life come with me now


Chorus

Lone, pretty, young thing
Let her lips taste the apple
Forbidden fruit, sour juice sticks to her gums
If it’s the wrong thing, but pulls your heart strings
It’s never to late to go and listen to your old dreams
She’s a fine feather, caught in bad weather
Life's lived on a whim but you don’t have to do the wrong thing
Learn to eat your cracker with no cheese
But if you want pommes then show me how you like these
Yeah show me how you like these
