Lucky Jim Lyrics

Written by:Jeffrey Lee Pierce

The rain it has arrived at last

For which we had waited

The hawkers have packed up their stands

Nothing to be traded

The soviets beside the key

Run to the freighters

The terrace of the Rex Hotel

Is closed by the waiters

We need you

Oh lucky Jim

Where have you gone

Oh lucky Jim

The mistress has left her home

Back to the dances

The smoking dens are starting up

For life's own enhancing

Nobody goes to the war

'Cause there's none to go to

We just sit around in cafes bored

Sit waiting for you

We need you

Oh lucky Jim

Where have you gone

Oh lucky Jim

But did you ever go up north

It is not for you

They'll strip your little weak heart clean

What will you do

The Australians in a bunny bar

Are waiting your return

Everyone wants a piece of you

A piece of you to burn

We need you

Oh lucky Jim

Where have you gone

Oh lucky Jim

We miss you here

Oh lucky Jim

Where have you gone

 

Oh lucky Jim
