about

This has been a mainstay of my solo set for a few years, and will be the opening track on my new mini album. Have you ever heard that love is more important than money, money can't buy you love, and all that jargon? If you stop kidding yourself, I will....

lyrics

I was right and I was ruthless,
I was bulletproof, I could not fail,
then I spent so long in the doghouse, that I started to grow a tail
Had it good, I did not know it,
I'm a man who never learned his lesson,
now I'm drinking like it's getting scarce,
and my dreams are total Armageddon

Oh, no surprise! I never paid the price, or thought about it twice,
I never started running, I never rode my luck,
you could almost say I never gave a fuck,
for love or money
Oh, if only

I was frank and I was fearless,
when the fuel and the fire was in me,
when misery loved my company and poverty kept me skinny
I'm dwelling on the dawn of time,
I was sure that I would end up someone,
guess that life just happened to me,
I never even saw it coming, no...

Oh, no surprise! I never paid the price, or thought about it twice,
I never started running, I never rode my luck,
you could almost say I never came unstuck,
for love or money
Oh, if only

Surprise! Never paid the price, or thought about it twice,
no I never started running, I never rode my luck,
you could almost say I never gave a fuck,
for love and money

Oh, if only
Oh, If only
Oh, if only
Oh, if only
