wet wet wet - wishing i was lucky lyrics

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 that's how 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
he 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
