LUCKY BOY As recorded by Matt Nathanson (From the 1999 Album WAITING FOR SPRING) [Intro]                     [Verse 1] Took your words like you said I should And look at what good it’s done me I’ve played support system you played victim And look at what good it’s done   And you trip me up Leave me strangled with your awkward untouchable lips It’s a cruel world I’ve found It’s a cruel world but I’m a lucky boy It’s a cruel world I’ve found It’s a cruel world but I’m a lucky boy [Verse 2] You’re so glorious a waste of time You’re the safety in lying You are radiator heat you’re the winter blankets sleep You’re the excuse that I use when I want to stop trying And start waiting start waiting For the sky to fall They tell me it’s a cruel world that I’ve found It’s a cruel world and I’m a lucky boy It’s a cruel world I’ve found It’s a cruel world but I’m a lucky boy   [Bridge] You’re not gold to me I was wrong You’re not gold and there’ll be Centuries left when you’re gone [Outro] Cruel world I’ve found It’s a cruel world I’ve found It’s a cruel world but I’m a lucky boy It’s a cruel world I’ve found It’s a cruel world but I’m a lucky boy It’s a cruel world I’ve found It’s a cruel world but I’m a lucky boy
