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'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 wanna push on through 
Cry, cry, cry is all i ever do 
Say you wanna 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, i was wishing i was lucky 
Kicking in the gutter 
Wishing i was lucky, wishing i was lucky 
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, oh baby 
I like kicking in the gutter and wishing i was lucky 
Wishing i was lucky, wishing i was lucky 
I like kicking in the gutter, wishing i was lucky 
I was wishing i was lucky, 
Kicking in the gutter 
Wishing i was lucky, wishing i was lucky
