  1. Listened to this album a hundred times or more as a teen. Remember singing 'Sweet Little Mystery' to a girl I liked to try and impress her. Halcyon days. Would've been even better if I could actually sing.

  2. Still loooove the Guys and all the songs <3

  3. Woops looks like two people accidentally clicked the upside down like.

  4. LYRICS:

    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
    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 is all I ever do
    Say 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, I was wishing I was lucky
    Kicking in the gutter
    Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky
    It's the only life I know
    My best friend wrote and told me so
    He said, that there may be a job in the city, yeah, yeah yeah, oh baby
    I like kicking in the gutter and wishing I was lucky
    Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky
    I like kicking in the gutter, wishing I was lucky
    I was wishing I was lucky,
    Kicking in the gutter
    Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky
    Hey son go, hey son go, to the city [Repeat: x4]
