luck
when your tv set is
broken
and your telephone is dead
when your trashcan car is stolen
and your cat has run away
and your neighbours have a party
and you want to have your own
when your holiday is over
and your dog has lost his bone
like pontius pilate's curse
bad luck, bad luck
it's bad it will get worse
bad luck
count to ten think of when
you were drowning in sunshine
close your eyes, do it twice
listen close to the bassline
when you miss your buss to boom town
and you've lost your frontdoor keys
when your dishes are exploding
and it's dripping from your ceiling
there's a bucket full of rain
and the meter maid has billed you
and the postman comes too late
like pontius pilate's curse
bad luck, bad luck
it's bad it will get worse
bad luck
count to ten think of when
you were drowning in sunshine
close your eyes, do it twice
listen close to the bassline
see the clouds smell the sea
all the birds they are yellow
running fast down the street
swimming in jell-o
