When you're driving through the desert, and your car runs out of gas,
Lotsa luck, pal, lotsa luck
When you try to stop some strangers they will holler as they pass,
Lotsa luck, pal, lotsa luck
So you walk eight miles, and all uphill, to call the Auto Club,
And the whole thing's nip and tuck
'Cause they'll ask you for your number, and your number's in your wallet,
And your wallet's in your car, so lotsa luck

When your television set breaks down and needs repairin' bad,
Lotsa luck, pal, lotsa luck
You look through the Yellow Pages for an honest-looking ad
Lotsa luck, pal, lotsa luck
Then the fellow comes, and says your set must go into the shop,
And he takes it in his truck
Four months later when he brings it back, it's someone else's set,
Besides he drops it down the steps, so lotsa luck

Some people think a horseshoe's gonna bring them lots of luck
A horseshoe is a luck charm, of course
But for every set of horseshoes human beings use for luck,
Somewhere in this world's a barefoot horse (a barefoot horse)

When you buy a tape recorder of the automatic kind,
Lotsa luck, pal, lotsa luck
If it's simplified for folks who aren't mechanically inclined,
Lotsa luck, pal, lotsa luck
There's a small instruction booklet that's one hundred pages long,
And on page one you get stuck
It says, if unsatisfactory you must bring this to the factory,
And the factory's in Japan, so Rotsa Ruck!

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
