Oyster Band If You Can't Be Good
ten years I've known you now
still friends, I don't know how
each time we talk we row
we're chalk and cheese
you are one son-of-a-gun
the wreck of last night's fun
you're more commotion than
a dog with seven fleas
all night lights you burn
lit up from stem to stern
you're sailing for heavy weather
I hope we both pull through together
and if you can't be good be lucky
if you can't be good be lucky
if you can't be good be, lucky now
you never hit the brakes
you never make mistakes
disaster's in your wake
doing what you please
but still for all the scuzz
a brother is as a brother does
I love you just because
we've ploughed the seven seas
all night lights you burn
lit up from stem to stern
we're sailing for heavy weather
I hope we both pull through together
and if you can't be good be lucky
if you can't be good be lucky
if you can't be good be lucky now
if you can't be lucky lean on me
and if you can't be good be lucky now
