Do You Feel Lucky?

Like Little Lambs, Safe From Harm



Enjoy it while you can - I wish
I could have held my tongue.

When you're in luck, the world moves with you.
When you're in love,

you carry it with you.

You know it.
He knows it
Everybody knows it.

Even Noel Gallagher knows it.

OK, I listened to that whole thing waiting for the snippet of CH medley-mixed in.

I think I just got Noel-rolled.

Nah, man, I wouldn't do that to you. I was just going with the vibe innit.

MY GOD THE WORDS TO THE FIRST VERSE ARE ALMOST TOTALLY DIFFERENT

"Either side of the world / beat the drum
if she comes to your door, make love welcome
before the winter is done, something something
a hope for all of the world / whistle when you have a chance"

How did I not notice this? I love both, and there are definite improvements in the final version - some of the lyrics here do feel unfinished, but, wow there are some lovely bits lost!

Hm. Now I'm listening to the other. The original lyrics seem like there is an additional aspect of calling out to another, whereas the new (album) version dwells more strongly in refuge, embrace, and the problem of escape. This is a great song.

When you're in luck, the world moves with you. When you're in love, you carry it with you.

When you're luck, the world moves with you. Whatever they want, you turn yourself into.

And then, you're in hell.
