Fortunes Rise And Fall Lyrics

Fortunes Rise And Fall

You got your days and you got your moments



Lady luck was on your side



Standing tall, king of the castle



Smiling two feet wide



You criticise everything around you



Sipping wine with the well to do



If the tide would turn against you



Tell me what would you do







You're better off not to ask these questions



You're better off not to think at all



You might as well just count your blessings



Fortunes rise and fall







I met a man who made a million



Thought the world turned in his hand



A PhD in exploitation



Ruler of the working man



He put his money in a half baked notion



Dollar signs shining from his eyes



Good luck comes and goes like fashion



Bet it takes you by surprise







A bottle blonde with airs and graces



She's gonna be a T.V. star



She's got friends in all the right places



Driving round in daddy's car



She wouldn't hesitate to tell you



Money makes the world go round



Will the goodtime friends that hang around you



Still be there on the way down
