Lucky
I'm on a roll,
I'm on a roll this time
I feel my luck could change.
Kill me Sarah,
kill me again with love,
it's gonna be a glorious day.
Pull me out of the aircrash,
Pull me out of the lake,
I'm your superhero,
we are standing on the edge.
The head of state has called for me by name
but I don't have time for him.
It's gonna be a glorious day!
I feel my luck could change.
Pull me out of the aircrash,
Pull me out of the lake,
I'm your superhero,
we are standing on the edge.
We are standing on the edge. |

Originally
released: September 1995
Found on: OK Computer & Help (Warchild Benefit)
Alternative version: Live from Florence, No Surprises CD2
From
Ed's sweet, tingling, opening riff, the rest of "Lucky" was generated.
"I remember fiddling around in the sound check," he says. "[We] were
in Japan- and putting together a different pedal order and actually
hitting the strings above the nut on the headstock. The pedals that
I did it with, and the delay that was going on. It was one of those
moments -'Yeah, this is pretty cool'" From here, "Lucky" was made
into what the band considers a "happy" song, or at least as happy
a song as they are capable of creating. An identical version, which
can be found on both the Help! compilation and the Help! EP, also
appears on OK Computer. This wasn't the plan: the band did try to
remix the track for the third album but found they couldn't improve
on it. |
