Cover art for Hard Luck lyrics by Undertones, The

This is what I hear:

You come up to me Saying you can't see Why the whole world Thinks your useless Say about a friend Drives you round the bend Everything you does Is success Haven't you been told You will soon be old It's your life And now it's your mess

Hard luck, but you got what you wanted Hard luck, but you got what you wanted of me Hard luck, but you got what you wanted Hard luck, but you got what you wanted of me Hard luck, Hard luck

He's been working hard He can run a car Money gets girls And he knows He gets out by eight You lie in 'til late Lying in your bed Reading Beanos If you work like him You may not have been A slod that drinks Vodka and Venos

My Interpretation
