Artist/Band: Wet Wet Wet
Lyrics for Song: Wishing I Was Lucky
Lyrics for Album: The Greatest Hits [2004]



He would swear by his mouth almighty.

I was living in a world of make believe

When my best friend wrote and told me

That there may be a job in the city

And you never told me



He would dream about another scheme

About another sordid hall of dreams

About a man who's king of industry

He would swear by his mouth almighty

He would buy the best but never something new and he never told me



I like kicking in the gutter and wishing I was lucky

Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky

Oh I like kicking in the gutter, wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky



It's the only life I know, lie, lie, lie is all you ever do

To make me want to push on through

Cry, cry, cry cry is all I ever do

Say that's how you want to make me push on through



I like kicking in the gutter and wishing I was lucky

Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky

Oh I like kicking in the gutter, wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky



My best friend wrote and told me so

He said that there may be a job in the city



I like kicking in the gutter and wishing I was lucky

Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky, I was wishing I was lucky



Hey son go, hey son go, to the city


Wishing I Was Lucky

Wet Wet Wet's 1997 single "Wishing I Was Lucky" stands as a defining track from their British pop era, blending upbeat rhythms with heartfelt lyrics about the desire for fortune and connection. Released on the band's second studio album, the song captures the group's signature style of melodic pop infused with rock energy, reflecting their evolution from their earlier new wave roots. The track became a staple of their discography, resonating with audiences through its optimistic yet relatable themes of hope and longing. As part of their broader catalog, it exemplifies the band's ability to craft catchy, emotionally resonant pop anthems that bridged the gap between their early 90s hits and their later greatest hits compilations.
