Lucky Jim Lyrics - The Gun Club

The rain has arrived at last 

For which we had waited 

The hawkers have packed up their stands 

Nothing to be traded 

The Soviets beside the Quay 

Run back to the freighter 

The terrace of the Rex Hotel 

Is closed by the waiters 

We need you, oh Lucky Jim 

Where have you gone, oh Lucky Jim? 

Your mistress has left her home 

Gone back to the dances 

The smoking dens are starting up 

For life's own enhancing 

Nobody goes to the war 

Since there's none to go to 

We just sit around the cafe bars 

We sit waiting for you 

We need you, oh Lucky Jim 

Where have you gone, oh Lucky Jim? 

Why did you ever go up north? 

It is not for you 

They'll strip your little weak heart clean 

Then what will you do 

The Australians in the Bunny Bar 

Are waiting your return 

Everyone wants a piece of you 

A piece of you to burn 

We need you, oh Lucky Jim 

Where have you gone, oh Lucky Jim? 

We miss you here, oh Lucky Jim
