for endless possibility
for food inside my belly
for hands that do as I say
for the beached whale that sings underneath my atlantic duvet.
for never giving up
for something approaching happiness
for ben & jerry's icecream
for the one woman in a thousand who's got a thing for guys with missing front teeth
I thank my luck star
I thank my luck star
I thank my luck star
for landing on the moon
for fairy tale in new york
for two world wars
sixty years on and we all seem to have conveniently forgotten
we must
thank our lucky star x6
when all is said and done
we are not worthy
of this world we do our damndest to destroy
but it's not ---
there is still time
to repent
for several thousand years of talking nonsense
seven thousand years of talking nonsense
