Lucky Me
Composer(s): Tony Banks
Performer(s): Tony Banks



My name is unimportant
And my job you could call mean
But I like the work and I do it well
That's enough for me
I think there was a time when I
Could do, and did, much more
I have dreams in which I captain the ship
And hear the ocean roar
I've lived alone for all I can remember
That only means some six or seven years
I would rather be nobody else
I'm happy as I am
All I need is in my way
And you see no one expects too much from me
People cry, but no one asks me to advise them
They want to know but they don't ask me how
That's for someone else and not for me, I don't know
Lucky me
My friends think that I should be trying
To find out who I was
But I feel that road would bring me pain
And too much would be lost
How I am is how I'm meant to be now
Anyhow there's things I see more clearly
Than those whose heads are searching in the clouds to make discoveries
And maybe fail to see
What's on the ground beneath their feet, not hard to find
People cry, but no one asks me to advise them
They want to know but they don't ask me how
That's for someone else and not for me, I don't know
Lucky me
No one asks me to advise them
They want to know but they don't ask me how
That's for someone else and not for me, I don't know
Lucky me - oh
