I'd all but forgotten about this song (for mostly good reasons), but I was in a cab from Fajardo to San Juan, PR on Tuesday heading back from a wedding, when.... guess what came on the friggin radio!?
(I actually was into it until the chorus which is too poppy for my tastes, but enjoyed it, nonetheless... nice leads from Jeff Beck and Mick's razor sharp voice ++++)
When was the last time you listened to this one?
---------------------
A betting fool, a gambling man
No sooner up you're down again
Mama said you won't get hurt
Don't play the cards, you won't get burned
But there's a place where I still win
But there's no money in this thing
The game of hearts puts me in spades
The only game I got it made
Oh, I'm lucky in love!
Yes, I've got the winning touch
Lucky in love!
Suddenly, I'm dangerous
I'm betting on a filly down at the track
A natural - born winner, that's a fact
A hundred yards from the winning post
The horse fell down, must seen a ghost
But there's a place where I still win
That is still my sure - fire thing
I will play the jack of spades
You play the queen, I'll play the knave
Oh, I'm lucky in love!
Yes, I've got the winning touch
Lucky in love!!
Suddenly, I'm dangerous
I know it's a mystery when the numbers come up
'Cause mathematics is Greek to me
But I'm lucky, I'm lucky, I'm lucky in love
Yeah, Las Vegas at night at the roulette wheel
Yeah, Monte Carlo try to cut a deal
Atlantic City, I lose at craps
Back in London try to win in back
And late at night I lay in bed
With a pistol to my head
Swear I couldn't take no more
And in she walks right through my door
Oh, I'm lucky in love!
When I think I've had enough
Lucky in love!
Yes, I've got the winning touch
Suddenly, I'm dangerous
Yes I'm lucky, Yes I'm lucky
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Lucky with the ladies
Thank God for the ladies
Otherwise, I'd go, I'd go crazy
How about a line of credit
For say, ten thousand dollars?
Eighteen on the red
Put me, put me home to bed
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Lucky with the ladies
I'm sitting here with a full house
I just can't believe I'll lose out on this
Okay! Okay! Your ten thousand and ten thousand more
You want to raise me, you want to raise me? How about this?
Twenty thousand and twenty thousand more
Okay! You want to see me? Well I got, I got a full house
What's that? A royal flush?
Well, ain't that a bust, I'm broke!

From Jagger's debut solo effort, "She's The Boss" - 1985. Not a bad effort either!!!

What was that song Mick did in Running Out of Luck, the part where he gets up on the stage, coaxed by Rae D. Chong?? I like that part...

Just Another Night? Where he grabs a coat from Rae Dawn Chong? |

Yeah, thanks. Also liked the part where he tries to persuade the shop owners he's really Mick J. |

Keith is maybe a tad prejudiced when it comes to his pal's solo records.  Just my two cents. GITD may not be Keith's taste but there's some very good songs on it. I like very much the title song, with its hauting indian sounds. And there's at least two good, hard-hitting rock numbers: God Gave Me Everything I Want (with Lenny Kravitz) and Everybody Getting High.
And then there's Wandering Spirit, Mick's 3rd solo album, which is bluesy and gutsy and really worth listening to, even for die-hard Stones fans. |
