LUCKY STAR AIN’T WHAT YOU ARE (words & music by ©Ike Moriz, 25.04.2015)
At first living with you was so romantic, Sunsets, harbour lights and fishing boats. We would stroll the beach, it was gigantic, Magic views, whales, dolphins and Mount Rhodes.
LUCKY STAR AIN’T WHAT YOU AREYOUR BREATH SMELLS LIKE A FISH CIGARKNOCK ON WOOD AND FIND A FOUR LEAF CLOVERLUCKY STAR AIN’T WHAT YOU AREYOUR BREATH SMELLS LIKE A FISH CIGARLEAVE OUR ‚HOOD’ CAUSE THIS ROMANCE IS OVER
You do your smelly business in the night when the rest of us is all sleeping tight. You wake our children in the early morning With headaches, nausea, red eyes: sleep deprived!
LUCKY STAR AIN’T WHAT YOU AREYOUR BREATH SMELLS LIKE A FISH CIGARKNOCK ON WOOD AND FIND A FOUR LEAF CLOVERLUCKY STAR AIN’T WHAT YOU AREYOUR BREATH SMELLS LIKE A FISH CIGARLEAVE OUR ‚HOOD’ CAUSE THIS ROMANCE IS OVER
Your had your chance this town’s given you notice. Yet you persist that there’s nothing wrong. Tried to pay us off, confuse us, divert the focus: Your work here is done!
