Some Other Sucker's Parade Lyrics - Del Amitri

I must've had a million damn unlucky days 

But there ain't no cloud that a bottle can't chase away 

I've done my deal of livin', ran from place to place 

But when the roof comes in I don't wanna take it straight 

They say with faith any soul can make it 

But hell, why should I wait? 

'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade 

I've had my share of heartaches, let downs and tricks 

But the everyday blues is the one thing I can fix 

I've heard those holy brethren muttering my name 

But it ain't no sin to drink when you're suffering 

Patience, they say, is a saintly virtue 

But hell, why should I wait? 

'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade 

'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade 

When every heavy sky just empties on your fate 

Sometimes keepin' dry's something to celebrate 

So if the road of sin is the one I'm takin' 

I ain't gonna stray 

'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade 

'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade
