He would swear by his mouth almighty

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
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 was king of industry
He would swear by his mouth almighty
He'd 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, I was wishing I was lucky

It's the only life I know

Lie, lie , lie is all you ever do
To make me wanna push on through
Cry, cry, cry, cry is all I ever do
To say that's how you really really really wanna 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, I was wishing I was lucky

Livin' in the gutter
Livin' in the gutter 

It's the only life I know

My best friend wrote and told me so
He said, that there may be a job in the city, yeah, yeah yeah, hey
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
I was wishing I was lucky,

Livin' in the gutter
Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky

Hey son go, hey son go to the city
Hey son go, hey son go to the city

Oh, 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, I was wishing I was lucky

Wishing I was, wishing I was, wishing I was, wishing I was
Wishing I was lucky

Wishing I was, wishing I was, wishing I was, wishing I was
Wishing I was lucky
