lyrics
Lucky For Some
Some get branded
Some get hung
Some keep their hands clean
Lucky for some
Yeah some get loaded
Some even go on the run
Some keep their little mouths shut
Lucky for some
I heard your step
On the hospital tiles
And the thought of your arms around me
Kept me warm for a while
I heard your voice saying
Baby look twice
When you start seeing
Shadows move by your bed
Better reach for the light
When you wake up
No step will you hear
It’s just as if no one
Had ever been there
Now I lie awake nights
Staring up through those fan blades
Warm wind in my face
And my nerves sharp as pins, pins, pins
Some get reckless
Some take to their guns
Some cover their tracks well
Lucky for some
Yeah some get loaded
Some go on the run
Some keep their mouths shut
But that’s lucky for some
Now here come the morning again
Nothing touches my skin
No one sees me move here
As the sunlight creeps in
Some get branded
Some get hung
Some keep their hands clean
Lucky for some
Yeah some get loaded
Some go on the run
Some keep their little mouths shut
Well that’s lucky for some
Well that’s lucky for some
Yeah lucky for some
Lucky for some, lucky for some

While it's been a while since The Blackeyed Susans last official release, they've not 'been away'. They're not that kind of band. The Susans, to long term friends like me (not keen on the word 'fan' - yes, you can ask me why some time), seep into your soul and psyche, changing you irrevocably. This release maintains that potency, and possibly captures the Susans at their best.
Rob Snarski's voice remains the most beautiful in this land (probably the world, really), and he captures the mood and intent of Phil's lyrics in a way no other singer can. Phil Kakulas, Kiernan Box, Graeme Lee, Dan Luscombe Mark Dawson, JP Shilo and Matt Habben remain outstanding, and paint a soundscape that is lush, moody and electrifying.
'The Lover Or The Loved' is a beautiful musing on that confounding condition called love, one that recognises the different positions two people can take in a relationship, and how those positions impact people singularly and collectively.
'Yellow Brown and Green' juxtaposes elements of nature with the cycle of life, demonstrating the closeness of both.
'The Good Life Never Ends', a David McComb track featured in the Susans live shows, makes it on here, and it's absolutely perfect. I've always loved David's wry and humorous observations of life, and the Susans capture the mood of this song beautifully.
'Dirty Minds (for a Dirty Age)' is swampy, dirty rock at its best, and is quite revelation! Phil takes the lead, and its dirty, gutsy stuff. Love it.
Thanks for coming back, Susans, but hey, you never went away. Sarah Sparks
