Scratch card glory, or waist-low pleasure?
Black eyes, nosebleeds, don't look back now
My white abode, do you remember my white abode?
But it's such a thrill, just to find out

Sorry, you're not
A winner
With the air so cold and a mind so bitter
What have you got
To lose but false intentions
And a life so pretentious?

Scratch card glory, or waist-low pleasure?
Black eyes, nosebleeds, don't look back now
My white abode, do you remember my white abode?
But it's such a thrill, just to find out

Sorry, you're not
A winner
With the air so cold and a mind so bitter
What have you got
To lose but false intentions
And a life so pretentious?

(Scratch card glory) or waist-low pleasure?
(Black eyes, nosebleeds) don't look back now
(My white abode) do you remember?
I sweat, I ache

Sorry, you're not
A winner
With the air so cold and a mind so bitter
What have you got
To lose but false intentions
And a life so pretentious?

What? What? What?

Goodbye, your world is

Insert your coin (insert your coin)
Please try again (please try again)
Insert your coin (insert your coin)
Please try again (please try again)

My Opinion
This song is about relationships, in general. It is NOT specifically about gambling. Waist low pleasure refers to something I don’t want this to be removed for. The band is from the UK where scratch cards are specifically banned. It’s about taking a chance, on a relationship. The name of the song, “sorry you’re not a winner” is referencing the writer not being the jackpot you’re looking for. Yes, it has more than one meaning, but it’s not literal. It’s metaphorical, and describing an abusive relationship (that’s what gambling is). The mention of a white abode, black eyes, bloody nose and trying again, are all references to a failed, abusive relationship and the loss of home. But hey, this is just MY interpretation, let the song mean what it means to you.
[Edit: Edit: I guess scratch cards have not been banned yet, I was under the impression they were never legal in the UK. Maybe that changed with Brexit. Most of these comments are 17 years old, don’t exactly expect a response. I just wanted to reply for posterit]
