Good Luck, Bad Luck - Howard Jones

The film script lies ahead

Change the future, change the past

Choose the players, choose the role

Cast of thousands, cast of few

Imagination decides the plot

Play the good guy, play the bad

Here’s the victim, here’s the saint

Here’s the canvas, here’s the paint

Good luck bad luck who knows

Good luck bad luck who knows

The world is peopled by many winds

Whirling faster than the wind

Solving a dilemma of life and death

Trying to make some sense of it all

No good blaming the outside world

Pleasure and pain are in the mind

Whether we like it or whether we don’t

We found as much as we wanted to find

Good luck, bad luck who knows

Good luck, bad luck

Good luck, bad luck who knows

Good luck, bad luck

Good luck, bad luck who knows

Good luck, bad luck

We can make it horror we can make it blue

We can make it slow time, make it move

The director sits behind those eyes

Play it straight or in disguise

Imagination decides the plot

Play the good guy play the bad

Here’s the victim, here’s the saint

Here’s the canvas and here’s the paint

Good luck, good

Good luck bad luck who knows

Good luck bad luck who knows?
