paul shapera - scratch cards that don't win lyrics

Loading...

alyssa:
i never got a silver spoon
a dad that stayed, a front row view
or choices that you’d ever choose
just wishes in the bin

i never got a wealthy dad
a tutor or a private class
dining rooms, vip pass
just scratch cards that don’t win

all alone into the night
music loud to give me life
i study by the midnight light
for lives worth living in

i never got the winning prize
second place was always mine
no one holds me when i cry
my kitchen smells like gin

i never got to be the best
just second hand, protecting geoff
a home with moms’ stale cigarettes
and scratch cards that don’t win
all alone into the night
music loud to give me life
i study by the midnight light
for lives worth living in

weeks to months to years to life
in retail jobs that make you die
exhausted in a run+down flat
that smells like mold and beer and cats

i never got the lucky break
if luck exists, it makes me wait
no bus is coming yet i wait
for wishes on the wind

i never spent the unpaid loans
broken mothers, run down homes
dads and dreams that never phone
and scratch cards that don’t win

all alone into the night
music loud to give me life
i study by the midnight light
for lives worth living in
