lyrics

A MOST UNLUCKY MAN
1:
THERE`S NO DENYING, NO USE LYING
I`M NOT A LUCKY MAN
I`M ON THE RACK, NO TURNING BACK
IT`S JUST THE WAY I AM

CHORUS
DON`T YOU KNOW THERES NO PRIZES PAID
FOR COMING BOTTOM OF THE LEAGUE
DID YOU KNOW, THERES NO PRIZES MADE
FOR DISAPPOINTING ALL YOU SEE
2:
NO ILLUSION, SAVE CONFUSION
THERE'S NO MASTERPLAN
I`M RUNNING BACK, THERES NO ATTACK
I`M ALWAYS IN A JAM

CHORUS
DID YOU KNOW GETTING KNOCKED BACK IS MY TRADE
ALL THE HEARTACHE MAKES ME BLEED
DID YOU KNOW, IF THERES A CHOICE THERE TO BE MADE
I`LL TURN THE WRONG CARD, DON’T YOU SEE

3:
THERE`S NO WAY BACK, NOWHERE TO FALL BACK
NOW I DON`T CARE A DAMN
THE TROUBLE BREWED BLACKENED MY MOOD
NOW I JUST, LET IT STAND

I DON`T CARE FOR THE PEOPLE I USED TO SEE
THEY DON’T MATTER MUCH TO ME
I DON’T CARE FOR THE PROBLEMS THAT THEY MADE
NOW I `M RUNNING AWAY FROM ME
