The Odds Lyrics - Messed Up Kids - Jake Bugg

A man of great ambition he pushed himself to be 

A man upon a mission with great riches to achieve 

All his friends admired him, 

And every word they trusted and believed. 

And the odds seemed forever in his favor. 

He made a sound investment in his own abilities 

Healthy clientele and some committed employees 

Well regarded in the town, money to be made, and cash be found. 

And the odds seem forever in his favor. 

Sooner or later the man is bound to fall! 

One fine day Sir, sooner or later 

the empires are bound to fall! 

The wind blows forever without waver 

Because ? dawn 

But the odds were not endeavored 

Forever in your favor!

He bought a grander house on a more expensive street 

Quite a price to pay for a place to rest his feet 

Felt the water rise before he knew it wasn't all back again 

Still he thought he had the odds in his favor. 

He had to disappoint you, the banker did not yield 

The string of repossessions, his wife's expensive heels 

But sitting down upon the curb he felt a sudden feeling of relief 

And he knew the odds were far from in his favor. 

Sooner or later the man is bound to fall! 

One fine day Sir, sooner or later 

the empires are bound to fall! 

'Cause the wind blows forever without waver 

? can't crack stone 

But the odds were not endeavored 

Forever in your favor!

You're expensive pockets are empty and you're feeling insecure 

I think you may resent it, in fact, I'm pretty sure 

Is being wealthy really all that far from being poor, I'm not so sure! 

And the odds are not forever in your favur!
