Lyrics Some Other Sucker's Parade - Del Amitri

Some Other Sucker's Parade

V1.
I must have had a million damned unlucky days
But there ain’t no cloud that a bottle can’t chase away
I’ve had my deal of livin', run from place to place
But when the roof comes in I don’t wanna take it straight
Ch.
Patience, they say, is a saintly virtue
So hell, why should I wait
Until the clouds go rain on some other sucker’s parade?
V2.
I’ve had my share of heartaches, let downs and tricks
But the everyday blues is the one thing that I can fix
I’ve heard those holy brethren muttering my name
But it ain’t no sin to drink when you’re suffering
Ch.
They say with faith anyone can make it
So hell, why should I wait
Until the clouds go rain on some other sucker’s parade?
M8.
When every heavy sky just empties on your fate
Sometimes keepin' dry’s something to celebrate
(Instrumental)
Ch.
So if the road of sin is the one I’m takin',
I ain’t gonna stray
Until the clouds go rain on some other sucker’s parade
Until the clouds go rain on some other sucker’s parade
