Hard Luck Stories - Richard & Linda Thompson

作词：Richard Thompson

作曲：Richard Thompson

They say running into you is like

running into trouble

You bend my ear and I see double

You're everybody's idea of a waste of time

You still come around 'cos I used to listen

But I run a steamship I don' run a mission

Don't be mistaken in thinking

You're a friend of mine

Those hard luck stories

It's all I ever get from you

Hard luck stories

You're going to drive me out of my mind

Hard luck stories

It's all I ever get from you

Hard luck stories

You're going to drive me out of my mind

Well the boss won't give you Change of a penny

Everybody's got money but you haven't any

If I cared about you I'd say It was a crying shame

Your wife ran away left you on Sunday

She cried when she left you

She was laughing on Monday

She should have known better

And never gone and changed her name

Those hard luck stories

It's all I ever get from you

Hard luck stories

You're going to drive me out of my mind

Hard luck stories

It's all I ever get from you

Hard luck stories

You're going to drive me out of my mind

Why don't you grow up

Why don't you settle down

Why don't you get a job

Why don't you leave town

Even a chicken has to do

What it has to do

You don't like one thing

You don't like another

You don't like anything

That looks like bother

Everyone don't like something

And we all don't like you

Those hard luck stories

It's all I ever get from you

Hard luck stories

You're going to drive me out of my mind

Hard luck stories

It's all I ever get from you

Hard luck stories

You're going to drive me out of my mind
