Oh the champagne I, low and high It,,, flows away again Don’t worry, it comes around, and it brings it back again It’s a good thing It’s a good thing Tell me, go on tell me, please But don’t just say things you think I want to hear Don’t wear another hole in my dreams Here we go, it’s easy, relax, relax Don’t go that way just for the fun of it. There are other kinds of pleasure The joy of… is there a theme emerging here? The garden… bees Looking and listening, smelling and smiling Keep on, keep on Don’t evaporate on me; don’t evaporate

What could be completely Without any of you How would you know? If it happened To you and me and we I’m stuck inside at home I can help you out If and when and why If and when and why It’s just the beginning It’s well passed the end Of the time when it Can never happen again Time Time I suppose there was always a first time But so many things are similar Just have degrees Degrees What is ecstasy What is ecstasy On some days it’s just the breeze On days like these There are other things on my mind The whole world’s gone Changed I just heard it on the news If and when and why If and when and why Don’t break it, don’t break it It’s a time to make a lot of friends Again again make friend Pursued me in songs that I aught to play along Play along What would it be If we can’t all agree The thing we share with all of us Is we’re alive If and when and why If and when and why Nothing could be finer than to be? What I’m going to say, it’s obvious You’ve got to be Alive It doesn’t matter what you say It’s obvious You’ve got to be alive Doesn’t matter what you say You’ve got to be…

It's just luck 04:54
lyrics
buy track
Everyone’s together But Everyone Doesn’t Appreciate that It’s all down to luck The luck of your birth The luck of your look The luck of your country The luck of the weather The luck of the draw It’s luck, its luck It’s nothing you’ve done That doesn’t reflect The lucky country you live in Where People don’t just die of Drowning Or being beaten Or having nothing to eat Or being bombed Rounded up and Put away Forever Tortured Forever It’s just luck And I’ve had a lot As they say “worse things happen at sea” But they will never happen to me No They won’t ever happen to me They won’t ever happen, happen to me They will ever happen, happen to me It’s just luck It’s just luck Where you happen to be begging Or living like the womb That you were grown in Or the water that came out the tap Or the place that you could crap The food that was there to eat And There weren’t people on the street With a gun There weren’t people on the street Rounding you up And your friends And your friends And your children And the babies Pushing them out to sea “Fortunately” sounds like luck to me I’ve had a lot of luck And so, I'm guessing, have most of you Have had a lot of luck too You drink the water You can shit And it not comes back in your food You can go And get help If you’re feeling loaded With a virus It’s just luck Celebrate it Just luck Go celebrate it Its luck Worse things happen at sea… Just look Every day People get in little boats And head out On a journey is just That is just a flirtation With mortality And some of them are children As you’ve seen Maybe it’ll all get better Democracy will work Maybe it’ll all get better Empathy must win
