Most songwriters spend a lot of time dealing with heartbreak and tragedy. We need to count our blessings from time to time.
The Troubles I've Never Had
Words & Music by Mick Brady
(featuring Paul Lynch on Piano and Bass)
I've got your number in my pocket and a smile upon my face
My number's just come up and I'm heading out to your place
It’s been a real good day, it’s gonna be a real good night
Gonna double up the fun, gonna do it, do it, do it, do it twice
You could say that I’ve been lucky, life hasn’t been so bad
I could list a lot of troubles that I have never had:
I’ve never been broke, I’ve never been sick
I’ve been down but I’ve never been licked
I’ve taken all the tests but I’ve never been failed
I’ve often been arrested but I’ve never been jailed
I’ve got the soft top down and the radio is on
That DJ just keeps playing all my favourite songs
I don't ever worry much, I'm such a laid-back guy
I've got all the peace of mind that only money's gonna buy
You could say that I’ve been lucky, life hasn’t been so bad
And here's a couple more of the troubles I've never had:
Never had to lie, never had to cheat
Always seem to bounce back on my feet
My girl didn't run off with my very best friend
But his wife has me over every now and again
I've got the cutest little house on the leafy side of town
I've got shag-pile in the bedroom I've got sheepskin in the lounge
My only fear is that I might be only dreaming all along
And I'll wake up in the gutter in some tear-soaked Country Song
You could say that I’ve been lucky, life hasn’t been so bad
The list goes on and on of the troubles I've never had:
I’ve never been trapped down a dark coal mine
I’ve never been drowned in an ocean of crying
Daddy didn’t drink, Mama wasn’t on the game
Granny never got run over by a runaway train
You must agree that I’ve been lucky, life hasn’t been so bad
These are just a few of the troubles I've never had
