SOUNDTRACK: Lucky You by The Lightning Seeds
Soundtrack to Midcentury NYC: You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian
Lucky You by The Lightning Seeds for a book about reaching for your dreams, falling flat in your face, getting up and trying again.
Everything’s blue now
Oh, lucky you (oh, lucky you)
There’s nothing to lose
And if it’s really true
Oh, lucky youYou’re chasing the moon
Reaching out to touch the stars
But you land too soon
What will it take to make you see
The way things really are?
You’ve got this far
So let it happen -
You’re lying again
Say you don’t, but then you do
I’m trying again
To build a wall around your heart
Then break it through to you
You make it happenOoh
OohEverything’s blue now
Oh, lucky you (oh, lucky you)
There’s nothing to lose
And if it’s really true
Oh, lucky youYou’re chasing the moon
Reaching out to touch the stars
But you land too soon
What will it take to make you see
The way things really are?
You’ve got this far
So let it happenOoh
OohEverything’s blue now
Oh, lucky you (oh, lucky you)
There’s nothing to lose
So if it’s really true
Oh, lucky youYou’re lying again
Give it up and tell the truth
You can’t stop the rain
It’s gonna fall on every roof
I’ve got the proof
And only you can make it happenOoh
OohEverything’s blue now
Oh, lucky you (oh, lucky you)
There’s nothing to lose
So if it’s really true
Oh, lucky youBa, ba, ba-da, ba, ba

The usual dreams, the usual schemes
Same lost feelings, same bad day dreams
Only unreal and delirious,
Out of breath and out of luck
[Sometimes] when I wake up slowly
[Paralysed] by the fears within me
Waiting for today to happen
Waiting for a vague impression
Waiting for today to happen
Waiting here with nothing but disaster
[Nailed tight] in his bed forever
[Turn out the lights] tomorrow, whatever
I’m so hung over with sleep
All I want to do is dream and dream and dream
Just lie down and never leave
Put myself here at your knees
[Sometimes] , when I wake up slowly
[Paralysed] by the fears within me
Waiting for today to happen
Waiting for a vague impression
Waiting for today to happen
Waiting here with nothing but disaster
[Nailed tight] in his bed forever
[Turn out the lights] tomorrow, whatever
