Lucky Day
Sadly biographical, oddly optimistic. If this were a movie, the opening
credits would read something like "Inspired by accounts of real events."
Don't read too carefully into the lyrics - I think I somewhow wind up being
my own best friend or something equally disturbing. Take it for the cheery,
poppy song that it is, and appreciate the shameless use of the online
rhyming dictionary.
Lyrics:
Today was not your lucky day
Your dream came true, you know the one about school
After you got all the question wrong,
Your other dream came true, you know the one about pants
Nothing's going your way
You're lost in Paris,
Tu parles pas Francais
When life throws you that curve...
Walk straight to me
Today was not your lucky day
You got a flat tire driving to the Rugburns show
When you changed it in the pouring rain
Your favorite sweater got wet, and now it shrank and smells funny
Nothing's going your way
You bet a dime on Chicago,
You should have gone with Green Bay
When life throws you that curve...
Walk straight to me
Life can have its little ups and downs
Like the Nikkei, Footsie, S&P
When you think you have it figured out
But in the back of your mind is that little doubt
You're thinking back to your latest drought
When's life going to throw you that curve?
You've been getting less than you deserve
You don't feel so well - what was in that hors-d'ouevre?!
Walk straight to me
Walk straight to me
Today was not your lucky day
You got a lame excuse not to go on a date
"I have to get my grades back up
So I'm placing a moratorium on fun." Right.
Nothing's going your way
It looks like your crush just might be gay (not that there's anything wrong with that)
When life throws you that curve...
Walk straight to me
