The Odds - Jake Bugg
A man of great ambition
he pushed himself to
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 favour
He made a sound investment
in his own abilities
A 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 favour
Sooner or later
the man is bound to fall
Won’t find
Sooner or later
empires are bound to fall
The wind blows forever
without waver
But the odds were not
endeavored
Forever in your favour
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
Still he thought
he had the odds in his favour
He had to disappoint you
the banker did not yield
The string of repossessions
his wife’s expensive heels
But sitting down upon the kerb
he felt a sudden feeling of relief
And he knew the odds were
far from in his favour
Sooner or later the man
is bound to fall
Won’t find
Sooner or later
it’s the end of the road
Does the wind blow
forever without waver
But the odds were
not endeavored
Forever in your favour

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 favour
