Kieran Goss - Fortunes Rise And Fall lyrics

You got your days and you got your moments Lady luck was on your side Standing tall, king of the castle Smiling two feet wide You criticise everything around you Sipping wine with the well to do If the tide would turn against you Tell me what would you do You're better off not to ask these questions You're better off not to think at all You might as well just count your blessings Fortunes rise and fall I met a man who made a million Thought the world turned in his hand A PhD in exploitation Ruler of the working man He put his money in a half baked notion Dollar signs shining from his eyes Good luck comes and goes like fashion Bet it takes you by surprise A bottle blonde with airs and graces She's gonna be a T.V. star She's got friends in all the right places Driving round in daddy's car She wouldn't hesitate to tell you Money makes the world go round Will the goodtime friends that hang around you Still be there on the way down
