It wasn’t my good fortune

It Wasn't My Good Fortune
- Fall Conspiracy
(JP Nickolas, Fluffy, Caravan Ray)

Plumbings on the blink
Got no shower got no sink
And now I’m stuck for two weeks in a 
Flea infested den of stink

Went outside my front door slipped and
fell down on my arse in the driveway
Not having a good day
But one thing that will make it better
Is having you here with me

My dice alway throw snake eyes
I never draw an ace
My greyhounds all run backwards at the start of every race
It wasn’t my good fortune to be blessed with the physique of a Greek god
It’s inexplicable that you would want to be with such a lazy slob

I’m sitting here, I think
About how everything I drink
Helps me to escape to places where
My mind is on the brink

Ill stay inside,
won’t slip and fall down on my arse in the driveway
Is that having a good day?
The only thing that made it better
Was having you here with me

It wasn’t my good fortune to be blessed with the physique of a Greek god
It’s inexplicable that you would want to be with such a lazy slob
It wasn’t my good fortune to present myself as hung like Mr Ed
Imagine my surprise when I discovered someone would share my bed

"It Wasn't My Good Fortune" - Third Cat

they warn
don't concern yourself with another man's good fortune
it burns out your soul

they warn
don't try to understand everything
gets lost in black holes

it wasn't my good fortune
that saved me when the leopards fell from the sky

as i hid behind your mind
i felt that i might finally find
the reason why

Berkeley Social Scene

Sunday night you went outside
You seemed unsatisfied
I’d better proceed with caution
I overheard you talking

Monday morning you woke early
Should have known you would do me dirty
Left the house without saying goodbye
Didn’t look me in the eye

It wasn’t my good fortune
Left behind in a wake of torture
It wasn’t my good fortune
Left behind with my misfortune

Friday night we go out with friends
but it's starting to feel like the end
You staked a poly-amorous claim
Hit me with emotional pain

Saturday night you party out alone
You left me watching TV at home
I use to have you all to myself
Now you’ve left me on the shelf

It wasn’t my good fortune
Left behind in a wake of torture
It wasn’t my good fortune
Left behind with my misfortune

You were a mistake
You were a tough break
You were a deep cold lake
You were a venomous snake

It wasn’t my good fortune
Left behind in a wake of torture
It wasn’t my good fortune
Left behind with my misfortune

"It Wasn't My Good Fortune"
by Silver Lining

Silver Lining is an instant band of Leah on lead vocals, heuristicsinc on synths, Erin on backup vocals, and Lunkhead on backup vocals and everything else.

I didn’t get here with a silver spoon
Wasn’t sure if I’d make it out alive
Never thought I’d be in this room
Wandered blind through the darkness
Just a sliver of the waning moon
To see the hurt that comes between us
All the love we never own
All the love I’ve never known

Well it’s just my luck
The panic stuck
And I can’t shake you loose
I been here before
Cursed for wanting more
But it wasn’t my good fortune

It’s a tragedy what’s become of me
I never used to be so small
Chipped away at for a fee
The midnight sky showed the road
Just a hint that was pointing me
To all the hurt that came between us
All the love we never owned
All the love I’ve never known

Well it’s just my luck
The panic stuck
And I can’t shake you loose
I been here before
Cursed for wanting more
But it wasn’t my good fortune

I expected no great homecoming
Knew one day we’d face a reckoning
Now you’re here and I’m nowhere
And I realize I no longer care

I need to go my own way
It’s time we were both free
You think that I should stay
But I know we both should leave
To bury all this hurt
All this hurt that came between us
There’s too much that we don’t own
Wasn’t love we’ve ever known

Well it’s just my luck
The panic stuck
And I can’t shake you loose
Been here before
Cursed for wanting more
But now I make my own fortune

It wasn't my good fortune
by the New Curmudgeons (ken, mo, starfinger)

everybody wants a ride
on my phallic space ship
everybody wants to come
to the edge of the atmosphere


i'm your friendly neighborhood
billionaire
and i want you to know
that i don't think that you are worthless
even though you got no dough

you can ask my friends
why they love me so
and they will answer right from the heart
it wasn't my great fortune that drew
them to me
it was my winning personality and charm


i'm another neighborhood billionaire
and you've probably seen my tweets
you should all invest in bitcoin
and taxes are not neat (or needed)

you can ask my friends
all around me
who love me exactly for who I am
if you would like me when i was angry
and they will tell you no sir, and no maam


on behalf of all the billionaires
please go watch the news
there are much bigger fish to fry
than me and Jeff Bay-zoos

you can ask my friends
...
please go ask my friends

It Wasn't My Good Fortune
Tim Hinkle

It wasn't my good fortune
For to be with you last night
I had business of another kind to tend
I hope you will allow
Some future time to make things right
When I'm able, invitations I will send

Had to step out of my mind
The air in there gets hard to bear I often find
Sitting in your chair but my soul had fled elsewhere
Had to step out of my mind

Forgive me, but I couldn't hear
A word of what you said
What I'm listening to may not really be sound
I suspect that you are real
And not just static in my head
I must go where some perspective can be found

Have to step out of my mind
Reset to get out of the net where I'm confined
Don't know who you are yet, did I somehow just forget
Have to step out of my mind

It Wasn’t My Good Fortune
D. Martin
VERSE
Am D Am Em Am
It wasn’t my good fortune and it wasn’t coincidence
Em Am
It wasn’t from the man above not before and never since
Fmaj7 Am
It wasn’t neither elbow grease nor labour that I owe
E7 Am
I got me where I am these days by the only way I know
CHORUS
Fmaj7 G C
Nepotism – I weaseled my way through
Fmaj7 G Am
I’m on television – I give my head to cable news
Fmaj7
I’ve licked so many boots
G Am
I can taste the suede when I see those suits
Fmaj7 G Am
I’ll kiss that ass, to be upper middle class

It wasn’t just dumb luck and it wasn’t a 5-year plan
It wasn’t from seniority – I’m not a union man
Wasn’t gonna waste my bread on picket signs and dues
When all I had to do was mention who my parents knew

Nepotism – I bow beneath your feet
In your wisdom, you even warmed my seat
And I promise you I’ll scratch your back
I’ll shield you when the dogs attack
I’m a pundit now – Daddy’d be so proud

Fmaj7 Am
Luck or fortune, chaos, karma serendipity
Fmaj7 Am
Fluke or God or kismet they don’t quite apply to me
Dm Am
It helps to be delivered silver spoon upon your tongue
Em G
And then you leverage all you’ve got and start when you are young

Nepotism - I get my face around
Botulism – keeps my cheekbones sound
It’s awfully cute that you and yours recoil in disgust
But I’ll betcha when I walk away you’ll be fighting for my dust.
