Nothing ever goes right
philip lacey 1956 (United Kingdom)
Waking up” you know that feeling
First glimpse of morning light
Just know it’s one of those days
When nothing ever goes right
Nothing ever goes right
Business goes on as usual
Working hard day and night
But you know it’s one of those days
When nothing ever goes right
Nothing ever goes right
You’ve got that Midas touch
But instead of gold, it turns to dust
Try too hard too much haste
All attempts are laid to waste
Try to be diplomatic
Try to avoid a fight
But you know it’s one of those days
When nothing ever goes right
Nothing ever goes right
Should have used the senses given
Should have trusted second sight
Should have known it’s one of those days
When nothing ever goes right
Nothing ever goes right
