The King Blues - Out Of Luck lyrics

With the red scrunchie for her birthday gift She scrapes her hair into a Croydon facelift Punch drunk love at sweet 16 She thumbs a ride to Gretna Green Leaving something old for somewhere new To be with someone battered, black and blue She turns out her light with a song to sing Grabs her shoulder bag and her Argos ring And she says Without a penny, in my pocket I'm out of luck in this kind of town But I've got you right by my side So I won't let them drag me down He turned from Jack the lad into Jack the dad His heart was pure but the town was bad He had a broken heart from a broken home She heard his breaking voice through a broken phone He said "For you girl I'd walk a Swedish mile For a Glasgow kiss and a Chelsea smile" So he drove til it was morning light And the birds will sing him to sleep tonight And he says Without a penny, in my pocket I'm out of luck in this kind of town But I've got you right by my side So I won't let them drag me down
