Mick Brady: Lyrics

   

            I've got your number in my pocket and a smile upon my face

My number's just come up and I'm heading out to your place

It’s been a real good day, it’s gonna be a real good night

Gonna double up the fun, gonna do it, do it, do it, do it twice

You could say that I’ve been lucky, life hasn’t been so bad

I could list a lot of troubles that I have never had:

I’ve never been broke, I’ve never been sick

I’ve been down but I’ve never been licked

I’ve taken all the tests but I’ve never been failed

I’ve often been arrested but I’ve never been jailed

I’ve got the soft top down and the radio is on

That DJ just keeps playing all my favourite songs

I don't ever worry much, I'm such a laid-back guy

I've got all the peace of mind that only money's gonna buy

You could say that I’ve been lucky, life hasn’t been so bad

And here's a couple more of the troubles I've never had:

Never had to lie, never had to cheat

Always seem to bounce back on my feet

My girl didn't run off with my very best friend

But his wife invites me over every now and again

I've got the cutest little house on the leafy side of town

I've got shag-pile in the bedroom I've got sheepskin in the lounge

My only fear is that I might be only dreaming all along

And I'll wake up in the gutter in some tear-soaked country song

You could say that I’ve been lucky, life hasn’t been so bad

The list goes on and on of the troubles I've never had:

I’ve never been trapped down a dark coal mine

Never been drowned in an ocean of crying

Daddy didn’t drink, Mama wasn’t on the game

And Granny never got run over by a runaway train

You must agree that I’ve been lucky, life hasn’t been so bad

These are just a few of the troubles I've never had
