Hollywood Down On Your Luck Gorham Lynott Lyrics

------------------------



They say people out in Hollywood

Live their life out in black and white

They're living out a technicolor dream

Next day they're a star overnight



Not like living in New York

Man, it's tougher

Not like in London town

Boy, you suffer



Nobody give a break 

When you're down on your luck

Everybody's on the take 

When you're down on your luck

You can't make a mistake 

When you're down on your luck



People out in Hollywood

They got a lot of class

You see the boys strutting down the boulevard

Trying to make a pass



Not like in New York

It's high rise, it's concrete and complex

Not like in London town

It reigns down on its subjects



Nobody give a damn 

When you're down on your luck

Nobody understands

When you're down on your luck

Lady Chance, she won't dance

When you're down on your luck



People out in Hollywood

They can make it to the stars

They can reach the screen

Drive around in big expensive convertible cars



Not like in New York

All you've got is Broadway

Not like in the west end of London

You can't make it no way



Nobody give a damn

When you're down on your luck

Nobody understands

When you're down on your luck

You've got to strut your stuff

When you're down on your luck



You can't take it easy, it ain't good enough

When you're down on your luck

Everybody's on the make

When you're down on your luck

Nobody give a fair deal

When you're down on your luck



Nobody understands my Uncle Sam

When you're down on your luck

I'm ready for the dance

When you're down on your luck

I gotta make a dollar holler

When you're down on your luck
