Wishing I Was Lucky — Wet Wet Wet

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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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
