Some Other Sucker's Parade - Del Amitri

V1.

I must have had a million damned unlucky days

But there ain’t no cloud that a bottle can’t chase away

I’ve had my deal of livin', run from place to place

But when the roof comes in I don’t wanna take it straight

Ch.

Patience, they say, is a saintly virtue

So hell, why should I wait

Until the clouds go rain on some other sucker’s parade?

V2.

I’ve had my share of heartaches, let downs and tricks

But the everyday blues is the one thing that I can fix

I’ve heard those holy brethren muttering my name

But it ain’t no sin to drink when you’re suffering

Ch.

They say with faith anyone can make it

So hell, why should I wait

Until the clouds go rain on some other sucker’s parade?

M8.

When every heavy sky just empties on your fate

Sometimes keepin' dry’s something to celebrate

(Instrumental)

Ch.

So if the road of sin is the one I’m takin',

I ain’t gonna stray

Until the clouds go rain on some other sucker’s parade

Until the clouds go rain on some other sucker’s parade
