Hard Luck Story Lyrics


Sometimes I think I'm going crazy
Staring at the same four walls
Waiting for the working day to endThen I get home so wasted, worn out
I curse at you and tell you
How I've done the work of ten to fifteen menHow I've struggled for my money
Sweated blood to get us by, yeah
Well, I'm tired of it, honey
Think I'm gonna have to leave here for a whileAll you hear are hard luck stories
And the ways I look at life
And the way I think the world treats me
And the way I treat my wifeI never seem to look at you
And see that somewhere underneath
A pair of tired eyes are crying outWell, you know I work hard all day long
Let me kiss you once with meaning
Just to kill this nagging doubtWell, you don't deny I do you proud
And you expect me to be tired
You say there's no future in our lives
While I persist I'm putting out the fireAll you hear are hard luck stories

Just a few well chosen words
'Cause you're still the woman of a working man
You've got the heart of a working girlAll you hear are hard luck stories
And the ways I look at life
And the way I think the world treats me
And the way I treat my wifeAll you hear are hard luck stories
And the ways I look at life
And the way I think the world treats me
And the way I treat my wife

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Sir Elton Hercules John, CBE (born Reginald Kenneth Dwight in Pinner, Middlesex, England on 25 March 1947) is an immensely popular English singer, composer (mostly with lyricist Bernie Taupin) and pianist. In a career spanning five decades, Elton John has sold over 250 million records and has over fifty Top 40 hits, making him one of the most successful musicians of all time. His 1997 tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales, "Candle In The Wind 1997," remains the world's biggest selling and fastest selling single of all time.

In 1964, Dwight and his friends formed a band called Bluesology. By day, he ran errands for a music publishing company; he divided his nights between solo gigs at a London hotel bar and working with Bluesology. By the mid-1960s, Bluesology was backing touring American soul and R&B musicians like The Isley Brothers, Major Lance, Billy Stewart, Doris Troy and Patti LaBelle and The Bluebelles. In 1966, the band became musician Long John Baldry's supporting band and played 16 times at The Marquee Club.

John was one of the dominant commercial forces in the rock world during the 1970s, with a string of seven consecutive #1 records on the U.S. album charts, twenty-three Top 40 singles, sixty Top 10 hits, and six #1 hits. His success had a profound impact on popular music, and contributed to the continued popularity of the piano in rock and roll.

Key musical elements in John's success included his melodic gifts matched with the contributions of his lyricist partner Bernie Taupin, his rich tenor and gospel-chorded piano, aggressive string arrangements, his flamboyant fashion sense and on-stage showmanship. As told by himself, his somewhat "flashy" outfits were due to the fact that he sits behind the piano and would otherwise vanish on stage.

John was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and knighted in 1998. He has helped lead the fight against AIDS since the late 1980s. In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked John #49 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. He continues to be a major public figure.
