Is It Luck? Lyrics

Is It Luck?
My socks and shoes always match
Is it Luck?
There's a foot at the end of each of my
legs
Is it Luck?
I can play my bass for you
Is it Luck?
Some gals like to kiss my face
Is it Luck? Is it Luck?
There was food inside your mouth today
Is it Luck?
Your barber cuts your hair just so
Is it Luck?
I Can count to 10 and back again
Is it Luck?
When the taste of sex is on your lips
Is it Luck ? Is it Luck ?

Cyanide works oh so fast
Is it Luck?
Polyester makes you sweat
Is it Luck?
If a graham cracker gets you off
Is it Luck
Love. Love ?
Is it Luck ? Is it Luck ?

She said she wanted my body not my mind so I showed her my dictionary to show the words that I know and how loquacious I can be when I set my mind down to it, and she wasn't impressed. She wasn't impressed at all.

She whispered in my ear...she whispered in my ear. she said "Wanna get lucky little boy?" Well I smiled. I smiled and I said: "Is it luck?"

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

To me, this is one of the all-time quintessential Primus songs out there.

Anyway -

"IS IT LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK?!?!"

Maybe its about how some things are out of our control and so down to 'luck', but other things are determined by how we live and our choices in life. For example whilst it might be luck that we were born into a wealthy society (in relative terms) where we aren't starving as in third world countries, but we need to earn a living to pay for food. Our appearance is largely genetic but we can change it etc.

Or maybe it's a reference to fate, is it luck (predetermined) how our lives turn out or do we define it ourselves?

I'll always be amazed by how Les can possibly fret and slap at that speed for 3 and a half minutes.

I think the song is about how we take common things for granted. I think it also has to do with him being a sexual tyrannisorous.

This song really stands out on the album... Tim goes crazy on the drums after the second verse. Les goes crazy on the bass all throughout the song before that and later after the "break." Too bad it's followed by a slowed-down grandpa singing in the shower. I wish it would've cut right into Tommy the Cat.

Thanks hydrogen, I never could figure out what Les said when he talks really fast in that song.

Bauds, this is the second song in a row I've seen you nail! I think your first one is true.
